A dealer cannot just "take your car back" which is quite simply, "REPOSSESSING THE VEHICLE" for no reason. There would have to be some kind of violation of the terms of sale/payment for them to repossess it, & they would still have to file some kind of legal action or go to a COURT and obtain approval and paperwork authorizing them to repossess the vehicle.

If this had been the case, you would have been served notice that you had to appear in court to admit/dispute the dealer's claim, and would have been given the opportunity at that time to work out an agreement with the dealer over the dispute, & the court would have sanctioned either the agreement between you & the dealer, or ruled in favor of you or the dealer. Any way that the court ruled would have been entered as a court ordered judgment and entered in the court records and both parties to that action would have been given a written copy of the ruling.

If none of this occurred, and the dealer cannot show written proof that he obtained the legal right to repossess your car, quite simply, the dealer has STOLEN your car. If that is the case, call your local Police Department and file a stolen car report, and give them all the information as to where the vehicle was taken from and if you have spoken to the dealer and know for a fact that they have the car (as in they admitted to you that they took the car) and the car's location.

Can the dealer take the car back if the taxes were not paid?

It wouldn't be the dealer who took the vehicle back - the state has the authority to take possession of it if the taxes aren't paid, and that actually supersedes any claim anyone else - including a lienholder - has on it.

How do you get your ds back when your parents don't give it to you?

I have a feeling they took it away for a reason, so the best thing you can do is to correct the reason why they took it. Make a contract with them. The three of you sit down and write out the terms for all parties and agree to them. Everyone signs it.


I live in AZ and I can't afford my car payment any longer what will happen if I surrender the car back?

Depends on how much the car has sunk in value between when you took possession of it and when you returned it. Probably the company will want some money more on top of having the car back. It's far better to talk to the bank or the dealer though rather than waiting until it gets repossessed.

Not unless you knew about the problem and lied to them. Otherwise they took the car in on trade, "As Is" and can't hold you responsible.


Can you get sued by a payday loan company for moving out of state when you have a payday loan in the state that you are leaving?

Any lender has the right to sue regardless of the reason if you choose not to pay them back. Leaving a state where you took a payday loan is not a reason for a payday lender to sue you - not paying them back is.
