Well, the right way to do it would be to take the friend to court and sue him for the money. The underhanded sneaky thing would be to report the car stolen, as the title is not in his/her name.
yes If you are on the title as lien holder. If not, you will need to go to court and show that the person with the car has defaulted on the contract.
LEGALLY, YES, you can go get it IF your name is on the TITLE. be ready to deal with the money part of the deal from him.
The title is in your name, so you hold all the rights.
if da buyer does not get da title in their name legally is not ders
You signed away those "rights" when the title was assigned into the name of the former friend. The only way to revert things back on the title, is for the former friend to "sign off" as owner and for you to "sign on" as buyer - then take the ownership document to your local Motor Vehicle office and have the title legally changed to your name.
As long as its in HER NAME on the TITLE, you better have a loan contract showing the car as collateral before you 'take" it.
Absolutely, if the friend has not paid the payments that were agreed upon in the contract you can absolutely go and reposess the car, just before you do, ask yourself how good of a friend this is, maybe they are going through a hard time a need a little break from you, if you want the car back worse than you want your friend, then by all means, go and get it, might want to go to the local police office and get a police officer to go with you just in case there is a problem.
A Legally Binding Agreement.
Yes, if it is paid for. If it is not paid for it is legally owned by the lien holder(s) whose name appears on the title. The vehicle title always designates ownership.
Was there a written contract between you and your friend that listed repossession as a cure for non payment? I would consider contacting an attorney on this one.
Legally? Absolutely not.
