Can my brother take away from me the car I’m paying monthly but is under his name?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Mr. Mark R. Thiessen   |   1 Answer
That's a civil question. Seems like you could stop paying it and then they come repo the car from him unless he wants to take the payments over. But unfortunately, I don't do civil law. You will need to hire a lawyer to sue him or call the police and ask them to get it back for you.
