What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
---I think I put this in the wrong category SORRY---
I was dating someone for over 4 years. We broke up about a month ago.
He got a car for me in his name, but I made all payments (I have the receipts) for the car. I have done all the repairs (with receipts). I have paid for all insurance , and registration (with receipts) .
When I first got this car we both signed a promissory note along with a friend of mine who was the witness. We ended up with 2 copy's. One copy to me with my signature, his signature and my friends signature.
He came over this last Sunday (June 27th 2010) to get a box of stuff he needed back. He asked to use the bathroom and I thought nothing of it because he has IBS (I was at the doctor before with him, so I know it's a real issue) and my bathroom is located upstairs on the 2nd floor.
Fast forward to today (June 28th 2010) and I get woken up by a call from him, which I did not answer. He called back 6 times in a row, and at the 6th time (I know it's 6 times because as I type this I am looking at my cellphone) I answered.
He told me that he took my copy of the note (which I got up and looked and saw it was gone) and he said he will be calling the police in the next day if I do not give him the car.
I hung up on him and went outside and saw that my license plates were taken off of the car. I called him back and he flipped out on me saying "somebody took the plates?? Now my credit will be ruined."
So am I out of luck, and will he be able to take the car back ? (he says he will report it stolen and then put me in jail, and he will get it back from impound)
Thank you
