I have bought horses on payments and was very thankful to be able to get them that way. I sold A TB way back when. They gave me the check. I had delivered him. I went strait to their bank with the check. The bank marked the check NON SUFFICIENT FUNDS
. I went right back to their farm and their daughter was saddling up my horse. I told her to get her saddle off of my horse and put him back in the trailer. When the dad came out and asked what was wrong. I told him he gave me a rubber check and I was taking my horse and going home. He took the check and went and got me cash.
I also sold Yorkies on payments. I would always stress to the person buying the puppy "Don't tell me a date you will pay your payment if you are going to have a problem making that payment". It also stated in my contract if one payment date was missed, the next day they were to surrender the puppy. I had 1 lady give me a bad check to cover a payment. I never deposit checks from someone I take it to their bank and cash it. When the check was no good. I called her to let her know I was coming to pick up the puppy. She discovered I was not playing at all. She got the cash and never missed another payment. I know "the next day" thing isn't normal practice, however, if they sign it, you can enforce it. An attorney wrote my contracts for my dogs.
