Was making payments on boyfriends parents '06 Ford Escape, 100k Miles's. I️ have paid (lowball) 3,000 now we're breaking up?

SO. Is I️t legal for my Boyfriends parents to have let me make payments on a car I️ was promised would go to me after I️t was paid off, to just go to him without compensating me at all? I've paid 280 including insurance for 16 or so months and I'm not gonna let them take advantage because they have a cop in the family. Don't wan the car, all I️ want is to keep the old 32" tv, the water damage end tables and coffee table with the futon they gave to us. When I went to go talk to him at his parents house they said they were gonna call the cops on me, is I️t legal for me to leave all his things in bags in my grandmas house next door and tell them they can't trespass in my property that the furniture was my half his was the car and the stuff he was given for Christmas.

Was there anything in writing?

If you did not sign a contract, then you have no legal rights. You need copies of contracts and receipts of things you bought or paid for, with your name and your signature. If you paid for things with your credit card, then you should look up those charges on your credit card history. You can do it online.

If you signed the loan for the car payments, then that is your legal evidence.
Do you have a friend in law enforcement or law, like a lawyer? If so, call them and ask their advice.

Or else, you need to calm down, really chill out, be very relaxed and tell your Ex you need to talk.
Meet somewhere, try hard to stay calm and not get upset. Tell him you two need to divide up your things, and discuss the car. If you start shouting or screaming, he will leave and you won't get anything.

Why would you think you have any legal rights here? Unless you and his parents wrote up a contract, including what happens in a break-up, and got this notarized, you're out of luck. All they have to do is say it was a gift and you can't prove otherwise.

Also, you seem to think all this other stuff is joint property. That only applies when you're married and have the legal protections of marriage. You can't exactly announce that "x, y and z" belongs to you, unless you and your boyfriend have gone through everything and decided how it gets distributed.

So it's really more between you and your boyfriend rather than legal rights you have. You'll be better off if you sit down with him for one last convo and straighten this out. Once his parents gave things to you, they lost possession of them and don't have any more say in what happens.

Learn from this, because you made a lot of mistakes here.

I think you should be able to keep what's yours

You can do it online.

It sounds like they are going to make your life He11 no matter what you do, so back off and consider it the cost of having learned a lesson in record keeping. No receipts for payments means you have no legal recourse. Because you weren't married, there are no assets for the courts to split. You're S.O.L. Sorry.
Do not ever allow yourself to enter into any business relationship with anyone without it being in writing that includes the disposition of property if the relationship ends and keep receipts in the future.

The laws logic and regular logic are very different. The law would require you to have some type of oral or written contract for you to gain legal benefits in the manner you suggest. Other wise it seems as thought you were just doing your friend a favor. I'm sorry you have been put in this situation. If there's any oral or written agreement that you can prove mybe you have a chance in court. Other than that's it's your word against theirs. Wishing you the best of luck!

Your the one that decided to make the payments. If your name isn't on the title to the car
and you have no written agreement that says the car goes to you, your pretty much out of luck. You could try suing them for what you paid, but unless you have a witness or signed agreements, your wasting your time. You will have to chalk this one up to experience and
move on.

I think if you don't have it in writing you can't enforce the verbal agreement. It sucks, but all the effort thinking about the legal particulars of this case is a waste. $3,000 to figure out NOT to marry him is cheap. It's good you found out what he's about sooner rather than later. Focus on making smart decisions, starting with forgetting about the loser, and in a few years the $3,000 will be a funny story about how a guy did you wrong over a 12 y/o Ford.

Nothing in writing ( contract signed by both parties ), then you made a huge mistake. And you can't insure a vehicle you don't own and have the registration for. Hope you learned a lesson about human beings, especially "friends", and family and having a signed contract with anyone you do personal business with. Trust no one!
