A son buys a car under his father's name in a state where the father has never lived then the father is contacted because they want to repossess the car but the father never had the car what should he do?

Answer 1

Well, someone is going to make a choice. IF there is FRAUD involved, then someone will have to pay the price. As usual, the buck stops at dear ole Dad. Dads name and credit was used to get the car.To get it off Dads name, someone has to pay the bill. Who's next?? As with any repo, best thing to do is get the car back to the lender.that stops all the late fees that add up sooo quik.Only other option is to pay the loan off and deal with sonny boy later. Take the money out of his inheritance???

the son actually sent the father the contract for the father to sign. the father doesn't speak English and signed the contract believing his son's statement that it would only be a co-signer. Now the son can't be reach and the repo company is calling the father trying to reposses the car. But the son has it, and either the son or the car can be found.

Sorry but never sign a contract unless you know what you are signing. He should have had someone else read it for him.

Solution would be to hire an attorney who could in turn hire a agency to locate and repossess the car. Could be costly but see no other way to handle this properly.

Father should tell the lender everything he knows of his son that might help locate him. As for hiring att. ect, the lender will do that IF Pop gives them something to go on.This is NOT the first time a son has conned Pop and wont be the last. Best way to handle this problem is head on straight up. Pop signed the contract, its HIS credit future at stake. Get the car back, settle the bill and then break Juniors legs. Good Luck
