I had a car before I got with my husband. He didn't. The car that I had gave me major problems so I had to spend a lot of money to get It fixed a couple of times. Major problems to where I felled behind on my payments. So I let the car go and had the finance company pick it up which caused it to be repossed. At the time he was my fiance. I told him, when I get my income tax check I want to get another car. I asked him to do me a favor by putting the car in his name because I had that repossesion on my record. When I received my income tax the dealer came out to my house because he wanted to see the money up front. I was not feeling well that day so I showed him the money and let my fiance go with him to look at the car that I seen on the internet. All went well. Now he wants to take the car from me. We both made payments. I told him I will pay him back the money he put on payments. I can't get to work or take my kids to school because he took the car.I plan to take him to court.

it's in his name, unfortunatetly, he will get away with it himself...
unless there is proof of direct deposit/s to the new loan came from you...
it will get messy in court and will cost YOU money
do you have any receipts of payment in your own name? that may work!

Court is a great idea!!!!
I did the same thing with an ex-boyfriend!!!
I put $3000 down on a car and he made the payments; we split and he had made about $1200 in payments....he had to pay me
$1800 for my share!!!
You should have got your name in title, because legally it belongs to him; but hopefully you can get your $ back!!
A Hard lesson learned; I know!!

what you did in many states is illegal
called a straw purchase
if found the finance contract will be null and void
and you have a 2nd repo in the waiting
as long as he has name on the loan
technically it's his car
so unless you got cancled check for payments made
you could very well lose out
so kids..
let this be a lesson to you
NEVER mak major purchases for another unless you are married
engaged does not count
and the courts could care less
once married it becomes BOTH of your debts!

community property is what this is called and you need to file seperation papers to frez all assets . if your still married and no one has filed papers then he can just get in car and drive away and police cant do anything because its in his name here and also community property . you need to see lawyer fast like now lol . you can get the car in divorce prosedings and use it until court rules on divorce but youll have to get that paper filed or he can come and get it . if he dose then use this when divorce comes up and ask for money for your inconvenince . in meantime arm yourself with knowledge about moves you can make and what he can and cant do about assets . make your lawyer fees part of divorce settlement . dont let him bully you but be fair if need be .good luck

It's all about the paperwork. It's in his name. The car is his. Save your time and money for Your car. Learn from this experience. Not everyone is worthy of your trust.

If its in his name, its his car. I was gonna say...you could have gone to the courthouse and got it switched into your name, but if youre having relationship problems, (which it sounds like you are) then youre screwed.
I would get a lawyer or call one and get some quick advice on your options.
Im sure youre mad as hell, I would be.

The car is in his name so there is not much you can do about until you present your case in court.
He sounds like parasite, caring for no one but himself.
You will be better off without him once you get over this hurdle.
Good Luck.

It's his. You might be able to get a judge to grant you the down payment IF you can prove that you "loaned" him the money. Otherwise, you have no case... and the car is still his.

Sorry but it sounds like the court would judge the car to be his.

If his name is on the title, then it is considered his car. Even if you paid on it, when you allowed him to put his name on the title, you gave him ownership. So sad and toooooooooo Bad.
