Left car behind in States, buyer not taking over payments

What is the name of your state? Florida/United States prior Scotland/United Kingdom now.

Hello,

Upon leaving the states, I could not sell my personal vehicle before leaving.

I was going to turn the car into the bank, but a neighbor asked me if he could take over payments.

Without writing up a contract (too in a rush and knowing my credit would get zapped either way) I handed him the keys to the car along with my vehicle tag hoping for the best.

The buyer has not payed for almost 2 months now.

Strangely enough, the buyer still chooses to call me here and even given me excuses as to why he has not made payments.

I plan to return to the states one day.

Should I just drop the issue?

Should I call the bank and explain the situation?

I am sure they will send a repo man out to find the car, but I would bet that he has the car hidden in another city.

Someone suggested that I report the car stolen. Should I report the tag stolen? That doesn't sound right.

I wonder how he plans to get the car registered in his name since I just handed him the keys.

Thing concerning me the most is that my tag is still valid and on the car and he is driving around with it.

Or should I just leave it all alone as my credit still took a hit on this one anyway?


Thanks!
