QUESTION
Can I legally take the car I consigned for?
Asked on Jun 07th, 2017 on Civil Litigation - Tennessee
More details to this question:
A year ago I consigned my boyfriends car and now we are no longer together. I have been asking him to get it refinanced in his name so I am no longer liable but he has not done it. Since my credit is better they put my name first and I am also first on the car registration. So I guess I am also a co-owner. I live in Tennessee and from what I've read since the registration says my name "and" his name, I would need his permission to sell the car. if worse comes to worse and he refuses to refinance it, is it legal for me to have the car towed to a safe location and inform him he needs to refinance the car before he gets it back? Is there any other course of action I can take to get this car out of my name?

Since both of your names are on the title, then both of you have equal share in ownership and the right of possession. With this knowledge, do whatever you feel is necessary to accomplish your goal. However, if you do what you propose, then you need to notify the police for that city/county what you are doing/ have done so that he does not file a stolen vehicle report on you.
