California.
I bought my daughter's fathers car in 2001. He was killed in a car accident. I bought the car for 4000, well agreed to make the payments when possible. The stepmon secretely offers to loan me 2000 not letting the husband know for whatever reasons. I paid off 1300 of 4000 but by this time the stepmom decides to sue me. I missed the court dates etc. for different reasons and lost the case. She sued me for the 2000 she loaned me, not for the car. The stepmom and grandfather seperate.
One day my car is missing from the parking lot of the families business shop. I went to the police station to file a stolen car report but because I never transfered the title into my name she transfered the title into her name. The original ps which i have was in the grandfather's name so basically she forged his name. Eventhough she won the case, was she able to take the car from me? I would of paid the remaining balance if I had a choice. Is this legal? I understand I lost the case for 2000, but not the car. Wouldn't she have to serve something to me to give me my options on how to pay it off? Can I sue her?
