More details to this question:
I allowed a roommate to utilize an extra financed vehicle I had no use for. They agreed to make the monthly payments and keep up on maintenance. They did not keep their agreement so I took the car back. We have a hand written agreement stating exactly that signed by both parties. They are now demanding the monies they paid toward the car back. Am I liable to pay them back?

While the issue is somewhat up in the air because you didn't address it in your contract, probably not. If I were the judge, I would consider the payments made by your roommate as fair consideration for use of the car duing the period that he/she drove it.
