He moved out and has no liscence so he let me keep it (even though legally it is mine since i have the title). I agreed to make payments to him for the car though. We though something was going to happen to me so i worte on a piece of paper that i was signing the car over and we had a witness, but that thing never happened. Now he's trying to screw me over w/ the car and take it back and sell it to someone else for more after i've been paying him. I still own the title. What would happen in court?
 
The person whose name is on the title is the one who owns the car. Since your name is on the title, it's still your car. It's like in a will, if I say I'm leaving my house to someone if I die, it is not their house as long as I'm still alive. In court, your ex-roommate would most likely lose.
 
Why did you put the title in your name??? It's your car, you legaly own it. If he sells the car to someone and doesn't get the papers from you, you can get your roommate for theft.
