Four Wheeler

[unknown13]

What is the name of your state? Georgia
Last year I financed a four wheeler in my name for an ex ( my name is the only name on the paper work) with the agreement that he would pay for it. Since we have stopped talking he has decided to stop paying for the four wheeler and also to keep it.When I asked for it back he told me that would not happen. He has it in his possession yet I am the one that is paying for it since it is on my credit. Being that it is legally mine what would be the best steps to take to get it back in my possession?

You will need to sue him, most likely in small claims court.

Would I need to sue for the actually four wheeler or the money I have paid on it.

You can choose what you want more -- the 4-wheeler or the money.

Keep in mind -- if you sue for the $$, the court isn't going to help you collect what he owes you. You'll have to collect yourself. Considering that he couldn't afford to buy it himself, chances are he has nothing BUT the 4-wheeler.

So you can sue for the return of it, hope he hasn't (or doesn't) trash it, and then sell it yourself or keep it. Whatever you do, take this as a lesson -- NEVER, EVER make an arrangement like this again. You knew he was a bad credit risk because he doesn't pay his bills.
