Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I had a vehicle registered under my name that I allowed someone to use while they were in the process of getting it taken out of my name into theirs. We both signed a contract that said she would agree to make the car payments on time while she used the vehicle. After paying for the car for one month the bank said there were no other payments made. I communicated with her through email asking what happened to the payments and what was the status of having the car put into someone else's name if not her own, but all she told me was that she had been making payments for the vehicle. For months she avoided me and the bank put the car in repossession, but I nor the repossession company could locate her or the vehicle. This past month the bank had their investigators take the case and look for the vehicle. After I spoke with the investigators and gave them the information I had on her they were able to repossess the vehicle. I am not able to afford the car so I planned on giving it back to the bank regardless, but my question is would I be able to sue her for the car payments that were not made while she had the vehicle?

Since you have a contract, try small claims court.
