car ownership
my girlfriend took out a loan for a car and had the title out in an ex boyfriends name, he was supposed to make the payments to her for the loan for the car and he hasn't in over a year. is there anything she can do besides threaten to have it repossesed , because that will ruin her credit?

Re: car ownership
These situations arise far too often, and I
don't know why people get into these difficulties.
Assuming she can convine the judge as a factual
matter that the ex boyfriend promised to make
the payments and there is some basis for
obligating him to make the payments (I'm not
at all sure what that would be right now) you
can always go to the clerk of the general district
court and file a lawsuit against him (on the
warrant in debt form). People often overlook
the fact that co-debtors can sue each other for
such things as "contribution" and do not have
to wait for the main creditor to file a lawsuit.
