My ex-boyfriend and i are in a legal dispute over a car that i loaned him $ 3,360 to buy on Jan.29,2008.
To protect myself i also had him sign an agreement to repay me $ 250 a month until the car was paid for and until it was repaid in full no later than Aug.15,2008,regardless of who's name was on the title,I was the legal owner of the vehicle.and we both signed .
we recently split up and still he has not paid me a dime!!But I also included in the contract that if within 3 months of the deal if he had not made any significant payments on the debt to me that I had the legal right to repo and sell the car.
Now here's the problem ,he was arrested yesterday and the small claim court date was set for Jul 10 2008,I'm not sure if the car was impounded or not but if it was ,will i still have to pay impound fees to get it back even if my claim was filed b-4 his violation ?Or could i just later (after i win the claim) report it stolen?Could i add it to legal fees he by contract must pay 4 me?

Simple answer is yes, you will. And if it was, as legal owner you have the absolute right to go get it. You will probably need to either have it towed out, or have insurance on it.
Yes, any monies you are out getting the car can be added to the small claims case.
I would suggest you find out if the vehicle was impounded and do something quickly if so, since the daily storage fees add up very quickly.
