Hi,
I had a vehicle which I no longer needed that I sold (and financed) to a co-worker. The car has remained in my name as I myself am still paying it off from the bank. He still owes me approximately $1600. (He has paid me approximately $3600 so far)
We have a signed contract stating that I may repossess the car if any payments are missed - of which there have already been two missed. His phone is disconnected and has no forwarding number. I do not know his current location, but I think he's in the Seattle metro area. (I'm in Portland, OR) I have tried checking with all the free online people-search facilities and have called the Seattle telephone information listing (411) all to no avail.
What options do I have to find this person and my car? Should I just take him to small claims court? Is it illegal for me to report the car as stolen?
Thanks, Ian.
