Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: credit liability

If she voluntarily agreed to let him take the car, then she cannot report the car stolen. You will want to discuss that with the local police, however, in my experience, they will not even take a report because the car was voluntarily given to the boyfriend. Also, I assume you and your daughter are in Oregon - you should re-post this to OR attorneys, as the issues surrounding your daughter's liability will be governed by OR law. Generally, however, unless she can find him and get the car back, you need to track him down and help the lender repo the car to mitigate her damages.
