Trailer Ownership Dispute Resolution

Hey! Since it was a verbal agreement, it might be a bit tricky, but not impossible.
- Do you have any witnesses or other evidence like emails or messages that can back up your claim about the agreement?

- Gather any evidence, like messages, emails, or witness statements.
- If the owner continues to dispute, you might need to file a claim in small claims court.
