I bought a car back in april. I put in 3000 dollars and my ex put in 3500. After finding out she was still seeing her ex, I took the car back from her. The car was never registered. I was the one who purchased the car from the seller. I deposited the $3000 in her account so she has a reciept for $6500 where her name is the remitter. However, when I bought the car from the guy, he gave me an "open title" which basically means that he signed the part he needed to sign as the seller but the buyer part was left blank. I insured the car on my name the day I bought the car. I just registered the car last week on my name. Of course, she is now taking me to court and plans on saying she paid all the money. Do you think the judge will award her the full 6500 just because she has the reciept showing she paid for the car? Like I said, the only reason she was able to pay that kind of money is because I deposited $3000 in her account. She plans on commiting perjury. My plan was to sell the car and

From what I've seen of Judge Judy, you need to find some kind of proof that you gave her the 3000. Then more than likely you will have the option of getting the other 3500 to pay her, her give you your 3000 back or as you mentioned, sell it and split whatever you get accordingly. The only dealings I've personally had with the courts in podunk Arkansas went down pretty close to that. GET THE PROOF!!!! be it witnesses or whatever!!!

You'd better be prepared with the paperwork
on that $3000 deposit.
Your withdrawal at a minimum.
If you can, subpoena the bank record.
At best, you get the $3000 and she gets the car.

Sounds like you need to see Judge Judy LOL. Seriously though, since she has the proof with the receipt, she has you in a bind. If you have the title though and can show the judge that it was not signed by either of you, you might have the case to turn in your favor. Hope this helps. Thanks for the 2 points!

Get your bank statements and a copy of the deposit slip. That is the only defense you will have. Good luck dude, you're gonna' need it.
I'd say get a lawyer but that will cost more than payin her the 3 g's again
