I’m going to give you the story to the best of my ability and as in depth as I can.


About 2 or a little more years ago, I decided I was going to buy a triton. I did not have the cash up front so my -at the time - friends dad did the a musicians friend payment deal( same as making payments on a car etc). I ended up paying for more then half the keyboard in about 4 months and then my friend offered to pay the rest if I would use the specialty keyboard to make him some beats/instrumental tracks for his album.

Now I have no proof I gave him the beats besides the fact that he is on them and I have the bounce downs aka files from the computer, the dates form the, and the full tracks with him on the tracks.

Now 2 years later me being 19 almost 20 (I was 17 or maybe even just turning or turned 18 at the time), he crashed his car and wants money so he’s trying to get $1000 which is about half the amount of the keyboard-.

Now before this we were always fine with the deal, he had his beats and I had the keyboard to make them with, but now he took it as far as taking me to court knowing I don’t have written proof he got the instrumentals/beats-.-----seeing how its been so long, will the courts be like, “if you didn’t think the stuff wasn’t fair why wouldn’t you have done something before now…---”

Its small claims court. Anyways am I going to lose…. What do I do. I have less them a month till I go to court.


Also please note, in the paperwork he spelt triton wrong which is the name of the keyboard.…spelt it trident … spelt my first name wrong……….my last name on the paperwork is not even my last name……. And had my addy wrong…

I still got the papers today somehow because the mail lady has brought many papers to me by just my frist name and it had my moms last name.,….. since he had my moms last name and my first name I opened it…

please help what do I do, what do I say in court….

I have high anxiety and get panic attacks im going to have a stressful time there on the 24th..


Any help would be greatly appreciated…

ANY MORE INFO NEEDED TO HELP ME OUT PLEASE ASK, I AM BEGGING FOR HELP.I HAVE TALKED TO MY LAYER AND HE SAID I WILL BE FINE, BUT IT SEEMS IM STILL MORE STRESSED THEN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

This will be remember forever and your help could save a young man from forgetting that in the end the person that is right will win.

I have faith but also will have worry’s because I never been to court and don’t know what to expect.

 
I’m sorry I forgot I posted this at a music site first. A triton is a keyboard made to make music arrangements. Also know as instrumentals or beats. the music behind the voice.


No I am from Michigan in the US.

Hope that helps...

And anyone needing more information ask please, and help me out here.

thanks
 
As this is an Irish based site you'll find knowledge about US laws and systems rather limited.
 
I had to try as I am goingthrew a hard time and having a hard time getting anyone to help me out.

Thanks so much for your time!!!!

Stircrazy, Why dont you just go to court anyway, the judge will listen to both sides of the story ( you might even get judge Judy ) bring whatever evidence you have ( and witnesses ) and the Judge will decide. It's nothing to get stressed out about. small claims courts are fairly relaxed and you are not going to be sent to prison if you lose. We are in the Republic of Ireland but if you get a judge as wise as Judy you will have nothing to worry about.
