Can my mom legally take my car from me when the title is under my name, and while I am currently paying it off to the bank? I am 20 and in college. My mom is taking my car without my consent. My insurance is under my dad's plan. What can I do?
Legally, if the car is titled in your name only, you don’t have a contract with your parents concerning the car, and you are over 18 (age of majority - Mississippi is 21, Delaware and Nebraska are 19, some states are 18 or high school graduation) and in the US, your mother has no claim on the car. The title is the ownership document, not the registration, not the insurance.If your parents are co-signers on the loan, then it is very likely that one of their names is on the title, which makes them co-owner of the vehicle. If your mother’s name is on the title, she has as much a legal right to your car as you do.It gets more difficult (not legally, just within your family) if your car is at your mother’s home, they pay the insurance and they are paying for your college and/or living expenses. While your mother cannot sell your car legally without your signature on the title - if her name is not on the title - your financial ties to your parents may make this a domestic affair that any judge would not touch.You can tell your mother that you will report the car stolen if she takes the car, then you will have to report your mother for a stolen car - she will be arrested if found with the car. You will have to be truthful with the police. You can’t hold back details of the relationship here.Have you actually told your mother that she does not have permission to drive your car? Maybe it’s time to simply remove the car from her access.
My boyfriend wants me to buy a car in my name since I have better credit & he will use the car & pay me monthly. What are the cons to this?
What are the PROs to this? If you want to make a joint commitment to each other, pool your resources and share responsibilities, it’s called MARRIAGE. You know this guy better than I do, but we both know he has lousy credit. How come he does and you don’t? Obviously we are looking at two different senses of responsibility. Can YOU make the payments on the months when he “forgets” to give you the money? For how long? And if you’re paying for a car, wouldn’t you like to drive it? Or at least know exactly where it is when you’re not?He wants you to commit your credit to a loan, buy a car and hand him the keys. He will then use or abuse the car as he sees fit. There are people in prison as you read this that are there simply because they let someone use their car. That friend went out and committed a felony. In many states you do not have to be present at a crime to be convicted of aiding and abetting or as an accessory to a crime. This means you get the same punishment. Your friend kills someone, you may be looking at life. IT HAS HAPPENED. IF IT’S IN YOUR NAME IT’S YOUR CAR!Less severe example: your boyfriend uses your car to go score or worse, sell, some drugs. He gets caught. Ever hear of civil asset forfeiture? Your car was used in a criminal act. It’s not your car anymore! It’s next stop is the police auction. You have no rights. The police do not have to prove you knew about the crime; they don’t even have to charge you. YOU have to PROVE you knew nothing. It’s hard to do when the car is in your name.Lastly,and this is a big deal, this deal puts you in an unfavorable position relationship-wise. Let’s suppose the relationship sours, or worse, becomes abusive. You’d like to end it but now you have to get the car back. He sure as hell won’t be paying for it. With luck you can get the car without having to go to court, and he won’t trash the car out of spite. Or will you avoid conflict and stay in a bad relationship because the complications deter you from doing what you know you should?Not just no. HELL NO.
Help! Friend wants to register his car in my name?
If you allow this it could be the biggest mistake you will ever make. It is just plain foolish. You would open yourself to liability and you could end up paying off a lawsuit for the rest of your life since you would be liable if ":He" gets in an accident, gets a traffic ticket, etc. DO NOT DO IT ! BTW. A drivers license IS NOT required to buy, title, register or insure a car in any US state. A drivers license is required to DRIVE. Nothing else !
My boyfriend bought me a car but it s in my name?
My boyfriend bought me a $400 for Christmas, the title was put in my name obviously (because it s my car), but now he s saying that if we break up, him or his mom will take me to court and get the car back because in a text message from my phone to hers (she still has the text) when he first bought it he texted her from my phone saying "hey mom i bought a car for me and natasha". The only reason he didn t say that it was just mine instead of both of ours is because she hates me and would have bitched him out for just buying me a car, so he avoided it by just saying it was "ours", but it really is mine. Can he or his mother do this to me?
Someone put a car in my name without permission.They wrecked now my license have been taken.What can I do.?

I hope you get this straightened out , if you do not act it will haunt you for ever will cancel insurance, will make insurance companies deny you, you want even be able to buy a car, your life will be strictly limited due to someone else. if they done this rthey are truly not a friend ok.. best of luck...
If i bought a car from a private owner can they report it stolen if i have bill of sale and tittle ?
He "can" report it, but he will get in a world of trouble for filing a false police report. You will be in the clear because you own the car. You might even have grounds for legal action and a civil suit against him if he damages you in any way with the false charge. http://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/crimi... It will land him in civil and even felony charges. Here's a description of the charges he could face. ~~~~~~~~~~ Edit: You should register the sale with your local Secretary of state . The registration will place plates and VIN in your name. Police will just run the plates and VIN. Bingo no charges.
Can someone put your title in their name if they stole it from you?
My car got broke into last night and they stole everything they possibly could. my entire system was stollen but even more important, they stole my title and registration. My question is.. Can they take my title and come steal my car and go put the car in thier name? Theres a spot on the title where i sign my name and if i have a spouse (which i dont) then theres that spot to be signed and at the very bottom for when you sell the car and i didnt sign the bottom. (I KNOW NOW NOT TO LEAVE THE TITLE IN THE CAR) I admit... that was so stupid on my part. =( But someone please let me know if they can put it in thier name. Im going to the Vehicle Licensing tomorrow morning right away! To get a new title.
My car title is under someone else's name and I can't register my car. I can't locate the previous owners who sold it me. What should I do?
Buy another car very similar from the junkyard, with title. Remove the windshield and underlying VIN from that car, ans put them on your car.Check with your state’s tax office. If your car has a lien, you can /have to negotiate with the lienholder. I did this once and TTL’d an abandoned car for $400.Junkyards don’t sell titles? No problem, just do the same thing with another used car. Next time save yourself this hassle and get the title transferred before handing over the cash.
My husband registered my car under his name without my consent, does he have full rights to my car now?
The registration and the title are two completely separate things. He can register the car in his name even though the title is in your name. He could not change the title information without your signature so if the title was changed he committed a crime. 1) If it's just the registration don't worry about it 2) If it's the title then contact the DMV and let them know that the title was changed without your consent and they will help you change it back. Real life examples: 1) My car is titled in my husbands name but registered in my name 2) I have a car titled in my name but my son drives it so it is registered in his name and he holds the insurance. 3) A few years ago my friend needed a car and I had one I wasn't driving so i let her drive it for about 6 month until she could get a new one. She took my title to DMV and registered it in her name while my name stayed on the title, meaning I still owned the car. For ownership all that matters is who's name the car is titled in; however, in the case of a married couple the courts see this as mutual property and it would be divided just like anything else that the two of you owned. For insurance purposes, if the car is involved in an accident the insurance company will pay out to the person who's name is on the title they don't really care who's name it's registered in.
