I need help on legal advice on two cars we now have can someone please help?

Question

Ok heres the deal my boyfriend brother had a car that he didnt want anymore so, he asked if we would take over the payments. The car is still in his brothers name and we had it over a year now. Recently his brother got a divorce with his wife. When this happen she had a drango so he asked us to take over the payments. We probably had the drango for five months now, this is in his brothers name too. So heres my question he just lost his truck cause he couldnt afford the payment now he wants one of the vechles back do we legally have too. I really need some legal information on this.

Answer 1

Proof of payment will do you nothing at all, the problem is that it is still in his name and by law it belongs to him..........

Answer 2

Whose name is on the title? Yours? I didn't think so. Your only hope will be to let a judge decide this. How could you ever get yourself in such a mess?

d**n.

Answer 3

The vehicles are in his name, but I would think that if you can show proof of payment on them you would have rights as well. If her couldn't afford the payments on his truck and there is still money owed on the two you have, how does he think he can afford the payments on either of them? Your best bet is to contact a lawyer for your advice, but I think you have a good case IF you can show that you have been making the payments on both vehicles. Good luck.

Answer 4

You are in a bit of a pickle.

   Both vehicles are in the brother's name, so technically he holds the lease, and by extension all rights to the vehicles.

   When you took over the payments. the right thing to do was to have the lease changed over to you too.

   Legally you have no rights in this instance, and the favor you did the brother has no legal bearing on your position. He can take back either or both vehicles by law.

    The only bargaining chip you have is that you can refuse to continue the arrangement on both vehicules should the brother decide he wants one back.Given that he probably wouldn't be able to keep up the payments on both, he might decide to let things be. If that is the case, insist on having the leases transferred to your name so that this situation can't repeat itself.

Answer 5

Any deals made, should be but in black and white,

on paper, and the titles should have been changed

to your name.

If he lost one truck, because he could not make the

payments. He will lose the one, you give back to him too.

If the titles are legally in his name.

If you intend to go to court, keep all paperwork of the

payments you have made.

The same will happen again, if you don't get the title

put in your name .
