Question: I got a loan in my name for a vehicle and my friend was supposed to make payments on it. She hasnt made payments in 20 months. I want to go and get it because i have to pay now. How could i do that legally. because its on her property and the police said i cannot take it because we had a verbal agreement that if she paid every month she could keep it. But the title is in my name and the plates and the loan also.
Answer:
If the police have informed you that you cannot take back the vehicle, you should either speak with an attorney about the situation, (perhaps s/he can help you resolve the matter without court intervention) or you can research whether you have an appropriate claim to file in small claims court or in your local justice court.
