Good day

I need advice on the following:

I bought a vehicle for someone in April 2021 that is supposed to pay me the monthly installment and the insurance on it.  He skipped a payment in December 2021, and has not yet paid the installment for this month.  The installment and insurance are deducted from my salary and the agreement (contract signed in May 2021) was to pay me before the amount is deducted from my account.  Being that he is behind with payment for 2 months, what is my legal right?  I also want to know if I can void the agreement between us and the process in order to setup a new contract that will include all the money he owes me besides the vehicle?

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, even if it is R150 or R200.

You can't void the agreement with him, but you can put him to terms and you can start the process to cancel the agreement and take the car back.
