Moved back to my home city about a year and a half ago, my dad said I could stay with them as they have a giant house and no one in it. Only condition was that I would need to have 2 cars signed in my name and pay the insurance on them.
They for the whole time I lived there were not legally allowed to drive from duis so I agreed with the understanding one was mine and the other would be for her daughter and my dad could use when he was able to again.
They are raging alcoholics and a month or 2 ago we all had a falling out after listening to her scream like a maniac to herself until 6 am for the 3rd day in a row. I said mean things, she said mean things. Been staying with a friend and my mom on and off but just found a new spot.
Now that I have somewhere else to move in at she is demanding I bring the truck back and that it was always suppose to be hers. I will gladly sign over the rights to the other vehicle but idk I feel like I should be allowed the other. I drive her to court meetings, AA and to pick up her kids when she still cared enough to meet with them.
I lost hours at work doing this and am conflicted cause they did pay for it but made it clear multiple times that it was for me until I called her out.
Title for the truck and suv is in my name but all of my belongings besides a suitcase of clothes are there still. I have no problem signing the suv over but I need the truck for my commute. Idk if this is even the right sub I just want advice and to know if I’m being unreasonable.
NTA, the cars are in your name and you paid for them. Return her stuff and block her.
I did not pay for them, but was told I would receive the truck because they could not put it in their name and to get insurance on the vehicles. The only other driver for both has been her 16 year old daughter that doesn’t come over anymore. They can get their licenses back in the next month or two and now want to change the agreement.
ESH. For agreeing to this plan to allow them to circumvent rightful restrictions against them driving cause they are drunks only to complain they are drunks. Duh. Thats why you conspired with them remember.
Fair, they weren’t driving before but can both get their licenses back now so they are wanting both vehicles
Do not give any cars back until your name is taken off the title. Probably one of the reasons they made ypu do that was to keep the vehicles when they aren’t supposed to have one. And to make sure you are held responsible if one of them takes a car and gets in trouble.
NTA, the cars are in your name and you have been paying for their insurance. Return the SUV and keep the truck, especially if as mentioned if the title, it was gifted to you
NTA…but try tred carefully until you get your stuff back. Anything she does in that vehicle right now is in your name. Don’t hand her anything without proof of insurance.
You signed up for a HUGE amount of risk! When, not if but when, one of them takes a car and gets caught, or crashes and god-forbid injures or kills somebody it’s YOU who will be held responsible.
I understand, they were not driving until now that they can get licenses back so I wasn’t worried but this all happened right when they are so I’m feeling a little extra worried.
Your name on the line makes you liable for accidents both cars.
Do not return till your name is off
Cancel the insurance on the vehicle your not driving. It put you at risk of getting sued if they cause a accident.
NTJ. Keep the truck but get your name of the SUV now. If something happens it will fall on you. If they unfortunately get behind the wheel well drunk and kill someone. It will you who will be paying for it. You should never let someone talk you into having their titles in your name. It’s one of the worst things you can do. Plus you could also get into legal trouble for fraud. Best of luck and get your name off asap.
NTA. First make sure no one else can drive either vehicle right now. If you can’t get keys back report it stolen. Second get your belongings. Request a police escort if needed. Hopefully saying you’ll sign over the SUV after you get your belongings and no one is allowed to drive it while it’s still in your name will be sufficient. Third sign over the SUV. Check what you need to do to make sure it’s legally out of your name. Only after this is done hand over the keys. Last tell them you’re taking over the truck payments and will keep it in your name for your use.
Their previous payments were for allowing the daughter to drive the other vehicle and transporting them when they didn’t have their licenses. This was probably much cheaper than other transportation options they would have had.
