Alright I financed my classic car to my friend who owns a mechanic shop a year and a half ago. The agreement was 500.00 a month for 18 months with 1000.00 down totaling to 10,000.00, he gave me the down payment and made 12 payments. He still owes me 3000.00 and I have NOT received a payment in 4 months. I still have the title to the car in my name and the keys its parked in front of his house. The agreement was verbal the only record we have in writing is the payment history that shows the date of the down payment and the past 12 monthly payments. After the last payment he made he wrote across the bottom "new balance 3000.00". I have the paper and he wrote all the payments on it we agreed that this method would be fine for both of us to keep record. He has no record of payments all of them were cash one was a check but the memo line was blank.
Now my question is can I just go pick up the car or do I have to file papers at the court house? Who has the upper hand in this deal if I do have to go to the court house?
