My girlriend gave her stepmother $1400 tward the purchase of a vehicle in Oklahoma, She recieved a bill of sale showing the reciept of the money, but still can't get a title or vehicle from the owner (stepmother). How can she recover the money or the vehicle? She now resides in South Dakota.

Take a trip back to Oklahoma and take moms to small claims court.

How long has it's been? Where's the car?
If it's been more than a few months, she needs to go to her stepmother and see what's up. All her stepmother has to do is sign the title over, give her the car and yall get a corrective title form yall's respective state.
If she doesn't have that, she can ask for her money back, but if the stepmother won't do it...take her to small claims court in the state the money changed hands (I'm assuming Oklahoma). Petition to have the judge either give your girlfriend the car and title or her money back. Your girlfriend will likely win because she has the bill of sale.

You are screwed both ways.
To recover money, you would have to go to a small claims court. I bet she would have to file where your stepmother lives.
As for a car, you should know she never purchased one by now, if you have not figured that one out now. She can not get title or vehicle, cuz the money was spent and not on the car. Hope she learns her lesson.

This is a tough situation Never deal with family or friends in regards to business or money.
I suppose a few phone calls are in order. Seeing as to how this is her step-mother I don't think that Small Claims Court would be the first choice.
Good Luck! I don't envy you or her!
