I need help! My family member in foreign country asked me to put down deposit for this used car and then it has been 3 weeks and in the end he decided not to buy the car because old car cannot be imported into the country. Therefore, we let the dealer take deposit of 1500 pounds but I got an email from the dealer that he will take me to the court and sue me for him losing his profit to sell the car to someone else. The email implied if I dont buy this car he will get the lawyer to sort me out in the court.
I have never got a receipt for the deposit payment and even order form or any form to sign at all. Will he actually be able to use this against me in the court?
