Question posted in the Criminal Law category relating to Eastern Cape

Good day 

Kindly assist I have bought a car and during the process with the advice of a sales when I mentioned that I do have money that I want to the account so that it will lower the installment he said I must send to the garage whilst they are busy with the paper work immediately I get the bank that is going to finance the car then they will just send the money to the relevant bank.Then he sent me the account details to send the money I have done that .....to cut the story short after a month I called and asked why the installment is still the same he said he is going the bank.....because of his delays I called myself to find out that there was no money received by the bank from the sales man or garage . Then immediately I called his manager form the garage he called him and were in a conference call he said the money will paid to me because I req6my money back and the boss or his supervisor told him to sort this out.

After I noticed there was no movement,I requested a lawyer to assist in this matter then this guy sent 10 000 to lawyer to send to me for relief whilst he is raising the money ,which that money I have not received from the lawyer since August last year 2023 the lawyer is also having stories and no longer available to discuss about my complaint and how far.

Now I am found this on my own .....I sent massages on Facebook looking for this guy I did not write anything is against the law as I do understand the process or implications of deformation of character I only asked for his where abouts .

After that he called and said he will pay me back he sent 5000 immediately..and this lawyer of mine called saying his lawyers are complaining about me posting this guy .I told him and sent what I posted and he commented that there is harm in that post .

Now this guy told me he did not ask he told me that he will continue paying 5000 monthly I complain because my outstanding balance is 130 000 that is due to me.

Yesterday he sent me 2500 this not our arrangement...

How can this be solved..... kindly assist because this guy left that garage to another one after I reported him and the garage released him as they were saying he was not permanent he was assisting they Did not want to own this as a garage which the lawyer I thought was going to assist with that.

Kindly assist with this matter and this happened last year 2024.Starting from March when I purchased the car
