Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I was incarcerated and my brother got my vehicle out of the towing yard, he was the co-signer of this vehicle. He turned around and sold my truck without my permission, do I have any legal rights to the money I have paid into this truck?

Because your brother was the co-signer on the truck he had every right to sell it. The issue then becomes if there was an agreement between you concerning the use o fhis credit. If he can establish that his credit was at risk, because th epayments were not being made etc, then you would likely lose any claim against him.
Not to mention that family relations would be further stained as a result of litigation.
