Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng

Good evening. I am Sifiso Mngadi residing in Soshanguve.

Two months ago I bought a car from someone where I traded my old car for my current one. I handed over my car and papers and took his car however I didn't get the car papers because I had to add money on top and I didn't have the full amount then. We then agreed that he'll give me the papers after he receives the last payment which I now have. He now tells me that the papers are with the guy he bought the car from and the other guy can't release the papers because he didn't finish paying for the car. I signed a contract with the guy I bought the car from. What can I do in this case?

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

You've got a big problem here. 

Either, you go to this other guy and pay him the money so you can get the papers from him, and then you sue the guy you bought the car from for a refund.

Or, you cancel the whole deal and try to reverse it.
