    Lease Agreement
    I have a vehicle that is in my name and is paid for by me. My friend needed a vehicle and asked if I would sell it to her. I said yes and drew up an agreement by hand for her on the car. She has made payments, but I have had to track her down each time the payment is due and sometimes she has the money and sometimes she doesn't. My husband and I are tired of this and would just have the car back and not have to deal with this mess. Her boyfriend is threatens us each time we ask for the payment and now her parents are wanting to get involved. This has become a horrible mess and we are tired of it. What can we do? Can we take the car back?

    My husband and I made an agreement with a friend of ours to buy our car. She has been making payments, but we have had to track her down to get them. When we made the agreement, all I did was hand write it on a piece of paper and she looked over it. She didn't sign anything and neither did I. There was no notary signature or anything else. This agreement has become a hassle and we would like to have our car back. Can we just take it back or what do we do?


    The title is still in my name and was not signed over to her. She signed the agreement but we did not. Can we still take it back with out hassles?


    What if I don't want anymore payments I just want the car back. I am just tired of all the hassles. Is it still OK to take the car back?

    Ok, did she sign the agreement to pay you ? Of did you just write it, and no one signed it.

    If no one signed it, there was no agreement.

    If you both signed it, then it is an agreement.

    Whose name is on the title of the car, I would hope and assume you did not sign the title over to her, but you keep it in your name till she pays you.

    If you did sign it over, did you put yourself as a lien holder on the title and have that title to use for a repo.

    I would assume you keep a copy of what she signed.

    Send her a certified letter or find her and serve her ( with witness if possible) a notice that she has >>>>
    To come up to date with the payment.

    If she does not pay, since it is still in your name, there is little to stop you from just getting it.

    You can take the car back if you're willing to refund her money, unless you specifically wrote something into the contract regarding return of the property. If you take the car and don't reimburse her without her having agreed to it, she can legally take you to court and will probably win.
