Air Force Reserve owes me money for a car

[nicole1745]

My jurisdiction is: IL, USA

I have a "friend" that purchased a car off of me. I was letting him make interest free payments to me and he just stopped paying me. I've been contacting him through the internet and he "says" he moved out of state and just keeps putting me off. I asked him exactly when he will have money and he just keeps prolonging it. I have kept all the conversations we had where he admits he owes the money. I also have the title and I am lienholder on the title. It is registered in his name. Can I contact the military about this or do I just have to file a lawsuit?

While the military frowns upon such poor behavior, you are less likely to get satisfaction from someone who commands a reservist versus someone on active duty (i.e., less "rear end kicking" power).

So when I do file the lawsuit, will the military step in and make him pay?

If you have a judgement you should be able to get DFAS to garnish his wages, look on their website, there should be instructions.
