Consider yourself a dumb@ss, swallow your pride, stalk the guy, put on a skimask, and damand the keys at gunpoint next time he gets into/out of the car. Take the car, park it in a storage lot, and sell it in parts over time because, due to your big trust-a-deadbeat mistake, he probably has the title in his name.

You have the legal right to reposses the vehicle since you are listed as the lein holder, However you need to check your state laws before taking any action, the wrong action could cost you everything. How long have the payments been delinquent & have you made any attempt in writing to obtain said payments. If not do so immediately giving a specific time period for payments to be brought up to date & notice that vehicle will be repossed if not complied to.

Yes you can go get it.. make sure your paperwork is in order.. and if you are really concerned about a grand theft auto charch call the local authorities and ask them.
Another thing you can do in addition to getting your car back is take him to small claims court and make him pay the difference in the amount of the loan versus the amount you can actually resell it for.

If you had a contract you can take this person to court and get the car back. You may need to contact an attorney to find out specific laws in your area.

before you do anything, talk to a reputable lawyer and the county constable. (the guy who goes around doing evictions and such) You should get legal advice first, as laws vary from state to state and town to town, and have an officer or legal witness there when you demand payment or return of merchandise.

make a phone call to him. go to his house to get the money. then send him a letter saying that if the payment isnt made by this date, that you will involve lawyers. Tell him that you will be picking the car up. get your lawyers involved. You dont have to give the money back that he payed since he defaulted.

If you left him take the car before it was paid off fully, you made a BIG mistake. VIN numbers are easy to change and paperwork easy to forge.
