    Ok what says he dont have the car? or let someone borrow it? Im sorry but all you can do is hire a lawyer and force him to return your money or the car.

    its a suxy situation, only other option is you have to go take the car,from whoever has the car and make them fight you for it,but it will be in your possesion then! Thats what i would do.. I wouldnt contact them anymore i would just try to locate the car!!!

    I know he doesn't have the car because his GRANDMOTHER gave the car to her neice along with my $9000 engagement ring. That's how I know.

    I am awaiting the phone call from the attorney.

    jesus....$9k ring? I surely hope it wasn't your money or credit that bought that ring.

    Waiting on that attorney will not do much because it'll be held up in litagations with he said/she said, it can be delayed to the moon and back because one party can't make appearances....all while racking up legal fees...

    BINGO, you are in business....the Niece has the car, so just need to find out where she is and where she works or what she does....and get Scrappy's company to go get it.

    LOL... yes, it was beautiful.. here's a pic.. right at 2 cts... platinum and diamonds (with lil' footballs, lol!) No it was his grandmother's credit, lol!

    I still can't do anything until I press charges in court and I am not going in without an attorney!

    Sorry - the car and the ring... pics.. had to resize!

    Okay...first, what are you pressing charges for? Stolen Property? Theft by taking? those will not bide well since he is on the loan too.

    After all that has been said and done, you really only need to get an attorney to represent you and draft a binding contract that is reasonable for you and the ex on how to handle the car, either selling it and split the money , or he and the grandma/niece re-fiance the car without your name...

    so find where the niece has the car, get scrappy to go repo it and hold it at their lot, call grandma/niece/ex to meet at said attorney's office and have meeting and lay the plan out.

    a reasonable attorney will only charge you $125 an hour which you can have the attorney draft up that they will pay half the charges since they made it come to this.

    I'm not exactly sure what I need to do, that's why I'm waiting on him to call me back and tell me what I'm pressing charges for... (I'm really clueless when it comes to law stuff... I majored in psychology and journalism, lol!)

    Okay....I think you need to drop the pressing charges line...don't mention that to the attorney anymore.

    Do you know this Attorney ie family/friend referal? or was it just someone you found on your own with no prior dealings before?

    You need to tell them you need representation and a legal contract that is removing you from a co-signed loan between yourself and ex with a reasonable timetable and that the car will not be driven anymore until the matter is resolved. Don't worry about all the details and over loading the attorney, just get the straight points and facts across. You can then make this a civil case if they sign and break the contract or pass the timetable dates.

    What you can bring to the table...
    1.)you have a company (Scrappy's) that will take the car and hold it until it is all dealt with
    2.)receipts of the downpayment you made, and first few payments
    3.)dates/times you have tried to make contact with ex with no action

    have everything done at the attorney's office, ie meetings and contract signing.

    i totally agree with you, but you can still make it a living hell for them.

    you just have to play dumb. dont tell them the full story.

    "I let someone borrow the car, not they cant locate it and they wont give it backl"

    Then do as Azntraitor said, repo that ***** to an impound lot
