Ok in november my uncle bought me a graduation present (a car) ...then he sent me to beauty school but now I dont like school and i want to go to college instead and he's threatening to take my car away. The title is in mine and my husbands name. Can he really take the car away or is he just trying to scare me into staying at a school i hate?

I don't believe that since the car is in your name he can take it away, unless you have some sort of written agreement that you would stay in school. Just talk to him, tell him you are really grateful for all he has done, but you feel that getting into college is the best thing for you in your life right now. I hope everything works out for you.

He can't touch the car it was a gift.Especially if the title is not in his name.Are you sure the title is clean.Look at it it should have an section for liens.Check to make sure that there is no lien on the title.If he didn't register the car with a lien or his name isn't on the title.He is SOL.He is probably trying to scare you into staying in the school he sent you to.Try talking to him.Offer to pay him back for sending you to school.Even if it is just a dollar a week or something.Just to show you appreciate what he has done for you.But at now time make any sort of statement about paying him back for the car.Or he could try to take you to court for the value of the car.And use the fact that you offered to pay him something for it.Against you.But you really should think of things from his angle for a minute.He probably feels like he isn't appreciated.Like you are trowing his help back in his face.So make sure you talk to him first before you get to angry with him.

Lucky girl, your uncle paid for a car and sent you to beauty school....I wish I had that. But, for what its worth, if the car is titled in your name, assuming there is no loan on it in your uncle's name...its yours and he can do nothing about it.
Just a word of advice, I think your uncle only wants what is best for you. Why are you giving up on beauty school? Do you think if you didn't like college you'd want to switch to something else? You need to re-evaluate SERIOUSLY what you want to do before you make such a decision. And, for the record, I think your uncle feels he has some say-so since he helped you out financially. Remember not to bite the hand that feeds you. Be nice and firm with him and tell him that you APPRECIATE everything he has done for you, but that your decision is final and you hope he is not hurt by it.
Good Luck

Your uncle sounds to be generous but at the same time controlling you by giving you gifts. Since the car was a gift and the title is not under your uncle's name, he has not legal right to take the car back. If I were you, don't accept any more gifts from him as now you can see his gifts mean he expects you to follow his way on what you should do with your life.

If you hate beauty school that much sit down and have a heart to heart talk with your uncle. Let him now how you feel about the school and how much you appreciate all that he has done for you but, you want to go to college it's not like your giving up on school.

It sounds like he's trying to "scare" you into staying in beauty school. If your name and spouse's name is on the title; legally he can't touch the car. Personally, I would call his bluff and let him know you don't want to stay at the school and let him know why. If he tries to take the car, let him, he can't get the title changed over without you or your spouse.

Call the car dealer ship where he got the car from and ask them. If he paying a car note every month the most he can do is stop paying every month. But again you have the title. I think that you really need to call the car dealer ship and ask someone there.

Why on earth is your uncle taking care of you when you are married? Isn't it about time you stand on your own 2 feet? And no - if the car is in your and your husband's name he can't take it away.

If the title is in your name and his is not on there then he can't do anything. If anything at all he could stop paying on the loan for the car (if there is a loan) and it could be repossessed. Other then that he would have to try to take you to court to get the car he can't just take a vehicle that is not in his name.
