North Carolina: I am not sure if I am in the right are- I have made a terrible mistake. Last summer my car broke down. A few months later, my boyfriend's car also broke down. We were in desperate need of a car. I was, and still, am in school and did not make much money. He was working but did not make much either. I saved all that I could and made the decision to get a car in January. Somehow, he convinced me to get a car together. My EX boyfriend does not have great credit and was determined not to cosign. HE chose a car and became upset when I wanted to keep looking. I finally gave in, picking out a 2000 Cavelier. I put the car in my name and paid all the fees and made payments/insurance for about four months. We had agreed to share the car but he always had a reason to have the car. He now has the car in his possession. He now pays for the car and the insurance. He has even gone as far as giving my key to another female (he said that if something was to happen like he locked the key inside the car, she is able to get to the vehicle with a spare key-there is no reason for me to have a key if i can't get to the car). I felt there was no reason for me continue to pay for the car or have my name on the title if I couldn't have access to my car. I asked him several times to either give the car to me, sign over the title to his name, or I would report the car stolen. He practically threaten me a few times saying that I would "never see the car or him again", "be sorry if I sent him to jail", among other things. In our origianlly agreement, he said he would pay me back the money I have put into the car but I have yet to see a dime. I am afraid to report the incident to the police because I don't know what he will do to me, the car, etc. I am unable to get a car now because I don't have any money. What can I do to get the car back or at least get it out of my name? Is there anyway to get my money back or will I have to sue?
