I'm located in Georgia and I'm not sure which forum this particular question would fall under so i'm just going to go with this one. I have a close friend who works for the same company that I do. A little over a year ago the owner decided to help him out by selling him one of the company cars so he could get back and forth to work. The title to the car was put in my friend's name with the company listed as a lein holder. My friend agreed to pay 200 a month for the car until it was paid off. I'm not privy to the actual purchase price agreed on or whether or not anything was signed as far as length of payments etc. Since that time my friend has made every payment faithfully because they've been payroll deducted. My friend is now in the process of looking for a new job and the owner just found out. He paid my friend a visit to his home to intimidate him and inform him that if my friend walks he has to leave the car. This doesn't sound right to me, but the owner of the company does have a lot of money and informed my friend that he would just fight him in court until my friend ran out of money and couldn't afford it anymore. What kind of recourse does my friend have and how should he proceed from here? He really can't afford a lawyer so what should he do? Is there anyway he can take the car with him as he's put over 2500 dollars into it as of now? I appreciate any advice you can give me which I could pass onto my friend.
 


Sounds to me like you need to know what the contract is between them. Is their any stipulations about leaving the company and having to pay the full amount for the car or is a lease agreement while employed?

Think everyone will be just guessing with what you have provided without insight into what was agreed upon in the contract between employer/employee.
