What is the name of your state?TEXAS
To make a long story short and spare the personal details...I took over payments on a 2002 Ford for my ex boyfriend because he was unable to make the payments at the time(he had 2 other vehicle payments to make). We had an agreement that when the vehicle was paid off, he would transfer title to me. I paid on this vehicle for 2 years at $500 per month totaling $12,000. Although he never signed a contract, he did contact the finance company and give me access to pay the payments and make any necessary changes to his account. He also gave me a written letter of permission to drive the vehicle for insurance purposes. He even had contact with friends and family after we split stating that he and I had an agreement and that he would never go back on that....that as soon as the vehicle was paid off he would send me the title. Then, he suddenly decides that he wants the vehicle back. I had to turn it over to him because of course, it is in his name. $12,000 is a lot of money to just let go of. Although we had a "verbal" contract, didn't he make it impied and enforceable when he did all of these things? Do I stand a chance suing him for the funds I invested in this vehicle, or would I be wasting time and tying up the court system? Please advise.
