Mr Jim Simmons of Morehead Kentucky has ripped off, mislead and lied Morehead Kentucky
This complaint started with a purchase on ebay. After the seller(Jim Simmons, Moorehead,KY) received his payment in full of $294.11(items and shipping) in March of 2002 to this date has not completed the deal.
After several weeks went by and many excuses(no camera, computer down, sick, and sent the items to the wrong address) told Jim Simmons, the seller, that I wanted to canx. the deal(his reply no problem). More time passed with no further response from the seller.
In July of 2002 a Harris County(GA) law enforcement officer contacted the seller and he did return in September $100.00 with the promise that at the end of the month more would be sent. NOTHING. On Dec. 6, 2002 in ROWAN KY Small Claims Court a judgement against the seller was entered. The judgement was the return of $194.11 plus court cost to the buyer, me. As I said earlier as of this date 01/28/2003 I have not received any further payment.
The judgement seems to mean nothing other than its offical. No further help in the collection of judgement only more documents to fill out or contact a lawyer. And you know what that would mean...Any help would be a "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU."

You won't like this, but you have two options:
Go back to small claims and look into a contempt of court charge, or...
Get a free consultation with an attorney and see if an attorney will collect on your behalf for a portion of the recovery. Make sure to report him to a credit bureau for non-payment of debt.
ON a personal note, the police officer that responded to the complaint should have charged him with theft by deception. It's not a civil matter it's theft. I think you should try for a criminal charge and allow the court to collect the remainder of the debt through a restitution program.
Good Luck,
