I REALLY need some help! Read my story....

[Drag'nGT]

Hey guys.

I turn 19 this Sunday (Dec. 23) and sometime between then and the begining of school next month I'll get my car in my name.

Here's why I need the help:

Before my mom and dad got a divorce, my mom took my car out of my dad's name and put it in her name. Then when the divorce was over with she started using my car as leverage to get what she could out of the house because "legaly" the car is hers.:mad: She threatens to take my car <U>constantly</U> I've taken it to another state to hide it from her just so she won't be able to get it.

She's only threatened to take my car (to my face) twice. She's told me that "I love you and would never do that to you because you bought that car yourself" bull sh*t for too f*cking long. She told me that the only way that she'd take the car away is if I don't pay the notes and insurance for it. Which I do and always have done.

Now I know that my sister needs a car and won't drive any other car but an Mr2 Spyder. And since my mom owes money on the car (Since it's "legaly" hers :p ) I'm hopeing that she'll give it to me so she can get Fallon the Mr2.

Now the magic number has been 19 because the bank won't let me get a loan until I'm 19 and my mom doesn't want anyone to own that car but me. Or so she says.......:rolleyes:

But she's done some real f*cked up sh*t throught out the rest of this year and this one instance I think might have cost me getting my car from her. (The nice way;) )

You see one night she left a football game that my sister was cheering at and came to my house looking for me. Why I'll never know. But she was outside the house on the porch screaming that she was gonna beat my azz for some reason. My granny told her to get off her property or she'd call the cops. I'm in the back of the house on NC.org :D (I'm so loyal!) and hear this screaming in the kitchen. I run in and my mom kicks the door open, attacks my granny, takes my sandwich maker off of the counter and throws it into a $2,000 glass cabinet that I got to hold the $20,000 worth of Steinbach Nutcrackers we own. My granmother is half blind in one eye and we had her arrested that night. She spent 3 days in jail and is fixing to go to court on these charges.

That's not the only time that she's done something like that. But there is alot of sh*t that's happened and I haven't seen my sisters in about 5 months and they live right down the road from me. After all that they've tried to start I don't care if I ever see them again.

All I want is my car. So I can trade it in on a new one. A 5-speed!

If she doesn't give my car to me how can I make a court give it to me? I bought the d@mn thing and make every payment on time!

I drive it around as it is. But even if I settle for the one that I have and she keeps it in her name I'll never be able to modify it. Cuz once I do she could just take it away and give it to my sister.

I'm pissed off and scared that I'll never get my car. What can I do? <B>Please</B> help.

Thanks you guys.

If the car title is not in your name, or the initial purchase/lease was signed by your mother or father, it's THEIR car and YOU cannot do anything about it.

[The satanic One]

My heart bleeds for you.....

Steal the nutcrackers, sell them and buy a new one!

[Drag'nGT]

lol That's a really good idea.:)

I just want to get some opinions. I'm telling the story (part of it) to let you guys get a feel for what's happening.

[oldster]

That is a lot of information to digest. First, the car is in your mother's name but you are making the payments and insurance? Second, you do not live with your mother but with your grandmother? Third, you are also on bad terms with your sisters? Fourth, the bank will not grant you credit until you turn 19, I'm going to assume you will need a cosigner?


What is the relationship with your dad? It sounds like the car is always going to be an issue, so turn the car over to your mother along with the insurance and payments. Ask your dad to cosign on a different car that does not come with all the baggage. The bottom line being that even if she should sign the car over, seems doubtful based on your story, she would be the cosigner so would still have leverage on you. Good luck.

[larryd]

as was said before.. I feel for you greatly but legally.. no matter who makes the payments, if your moms name is on that title.. you can do nothing about it..

[DopeGTS]

Actaully I think you may have a court case if you say you pay the payment. You can have the court look at the aspect that you pay (look at check stubs) show them the carbon copy of the checks, and have toyota send you copies if possible. That may help you out a bit. I mean it proves that you have been paying... my .02

Could be wrong but my guess is he is making the payments to his mom. Regardless, it is who has the title.

[Drag'nGT]

Okay. The little details....

Regions Bank is my bank. The loan is from them, not Toyota. We still owe a little money on the car to Regions.

Regions won't loan money until I'm 19. And I won't need a cosign.

I put 10 grand in cash down on the car. And every month I go to Regions Bank and pay my car note. The people know me by name. <U>Everyone</U>, friends and family, know that I pay every cent on that car. My mom was the one that told everyone because she was proud of me for doing it.

My dad and I are on great terms. The car was in my dad's name only. But my mom moved it into her name before the divorce.

I was told that I could take this info to court and have the court make her give it to me. But I'm praying she'll just sign it over. But after her loonacy I have my doubts. That's why I came to you guys. I figure that the peeps here would have the best ideas to help me get it.

Please don't think I'm being all dramatic and stuff. I'm not.

I just think this is F*cked up! And there has to be <U>something</U> that I can do. I'm in the right. Evil can't prevail!!!

[HilfigerCelica]

if it does work out, you can always try Judge Judy

[Drag'nGT]

:D :D :D lmao!!!

Smart azz. That was great!:p

[po9i]

d@mn you car is more important to you than your sisters??? that fukked up yo, you need to work that shyt out

[Takeoff]

You should try and work this out like po9i said. Family, to me, is the most important thing. Maybe if you could work out the problems w/ your sister & mother everything might fix itself.

If you couldn't make amends you could always go to court. If anything, I think, the judge would make your mother pay you a lot of the money back. You have to prove that the money came from you though. I hope that none of the money has went through your mother. Also have you dad testify for you w/ anyone else.

[WyseOne]

Hey, you have more problems than Eminem does with his mother.
Jeezus, Smashing things! You gotta smack her upside the head and tell her to get her life together. has she allways been violent tempered and is that why your Dad gave her the boot? I would forget about the car and concentrate on helping your mother resolve some of her issues and get rest of the family sorted out. Blood is more important than a car.

[JaySong]

Your mom seems like she's taking advantage of you.
If she loved u as much as she says she wont be threatening to take away your car.
Since you bougth the car, it should be under your name.
Trick her into putting into your name. Tell her that when the cop pulls you over or gives you a ticket, that they give u a hard time about it not being in your name and threatens to tow it.

tell her that's why the car needs to be in your name since u drive it.

u need to get it into your name as soon as possible so that u wont run into problems with her in the future.

[David Draper]

My opinion:

Okay, blood is thicker than water, but just because you're related to someone doesn't give them a free ticket to abuse the relationship. That's my opinion, and I know everyone has differing views....

However, since she's taken it to that next level, it may benefit you to go there to....in other words:

"Hey mom, sign over the car and I don't sue you for damages to the nutcrackers and display case."

Not exactly those words of course, but that's the general gist of things....I mean hey, she's decided to destroy personal property of yours!

Now of course, how she had the vehicle transferred out of your father's name is also important. If she did it without him signing it away, or forged anything, it'll take you about 2 minutes in court or the DMV or wherever to get it overturned.

Talk to your dad, and see if he signed it away. Even if they were both on the title, she can't have him taken off (or sell it, or anything else) without his signature.

My opinion :)

Unless it was titled with Mr____ OR Mrs_____ rather than Mr___AND Mrs______. In the former case it only requires one signature, at least in CA. :)

[Drag'nGT]

Oldster beat me to it. The title said OR. That's how she was able to do that.

I know it seems as though I've turned my back on them but it isn't like that. See, I used to go over to the house every other Sat. after work to visit with my mom and sisters. Then I didn't show up one of the weekends and the next Friday night is when she broke into my house.

And I can't talk to my sisters when they won't return my phone calls.

My mom takes my dad's child support and alimony payments and spends it on her more than my sister's. She also pays part of her boy friend's alimony with my dad's money. Her boyfriend is only one of the men my mom cheated on my dad with. And if my sisters stay there and seem to be cool that she does that then they don't need to talk to me. What they need is a priest. Oh, that's right...she already sleep with one of those.:sad

[ZIGGY GTS]

jeez, i feel really sorry for u bro...sounds like u got a ton of $hit to work through...it just sucks that u are going through this $hit during a time when everyone is supposed to get along...good luck!

[Drag'nGT]

Thanks.

I'll put up a big azz post when I get this all done.

kinda late, but if the sisters are taking advantage of you, perhaps it is them that first infringed on the "sacredness" of the relationship. if it means nothing to her, what should it mean to you, rite? and will only drive an MR2 Spyder?? im thinking spoiled :rolleyes: Don't know the law and stuff as im just a lil younger than u, but i do hope that everything turns out for the best. if not, since u've been making payments, uve shown responsibility... why not start over? have ur dad back u up...

bah...family;)

[RACERGTS2000]

Sh*t your Mom sounds like mine CRAZY! The only thing you can really do is talk to your mom and tell her your concerns if she doesn't give you the car its on her DON'T PAY the PAYMENTS F**k HER CREDIT UP OR AT LEAST THREATEN TO AND I BET YOU'LL GET YOUR CAR BACK! YOUR MTHER HAS NO RIGHT TO DO THIS TO YOU:mad: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
