How do I or can I get my truck back?

Question:
For the past 13 months, I have been making payments on a 2003 Toyota Tundra. I took over the payments from a former friend and employer. All the payments are current and I have had the truck in my possesion the entire time. My problem is the truck is still in her name and for no reason she just came to my house with the xtra key and took the truck. If I go take the truck back, she will call it in stolen. What can I do?

If her name is the name on the title and her name is on the loan there is not much you can do without taking it to court and proving that you have been making the payments, in which case you may only be able to recover the payments or might be told to be more aware next time. I am not sure you have much of a legal footing if all the paperwork is in her name.

Is this a good lease deal on a 2007 Toyota Camry?

Take her to court, you will have to prove the payments you made and be sure to have the proof of insurance in your name, the date that you put the insurance into your name etc. Load yourself with all the documentation to show that you had the vehicle in your possession and if you have any witnesses be sure to have them present or legal affidavit's. Good luck in your quest. You may want to add any extra cost such as taxi fair or rental car to your law suit.

Where can I go to choose the right vehicle for my family?

If you have a written agreement with the "owner" of the vehicle, you can get it back. If you don't, you can still show proof of payment for this vehicle, copies of cancelled checks, money order stubs, etc. and take her to small claims court. You may take a bashing from the judge for not haveing a written agreement, but you still have a good chance at getting the vehicle back in your possession. Also note that if you make payments on any property that is not in your name, you can still add the item to all three credit bureaus by submitting the account information and proof of payment, you will have leg work on your endby reporting monthly,but at least it shows a payment history and it does help your FICO score. Good Luck

What about tags when you but a car privately?

It was never your truck. If it was she would be the one stealing the truck. You got shafted big time by a smart and ruthless con.
When you enter into an agreement like this, you need a written contract, signed and notarized. The contract needs to specify who, what, and when. Who make the payments, who carries the insurance coverage, what happens if the payments are defaulted, and when does the truck tile get transferred.
The smart way would have been to get your own financing and buy the truck outright from her.
You got hosed buddy!
