You have two choices, fight or give in.
I would e-mail her back with the part about payment due upon termanation "if maria wants to terminate this contract she will pay rachel her full deposit at time of termination" and state that these are the terms of the contract, if she wants to terminate the contract the depost needs to be refunded within 24 hours and Lola immediately picked up(DO NOT TAKE HER TO HER, make her drive to YOU).Wait 24 hours then send the remaining amount(money order or cert. check) via certified signed mail and mark the payment "final amount due".
If the lady doesn't have money she won't take you to court or bother to pay a lawyer. Even filing in small claims costs money. You are not
Check-n-Go, you did not give her permission to "borrow" your money, if she can't immediately pay you back she has voided her contract with you and Lola is yours. You've already incurred vet bills and honestly, I'd get her fixed if you can afford it. That might make Lola less "valuable" to her. |
