Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Connecticut
Two years ago, my 31-year-old daughter, stupidly secured a car loan for her boyfriend (at the time), because his credit was non-existent and hers was good. The car is titled, insured and the loan are in her name. He pays the car payments (directly to Chase) and some insurance payments. Unfortunately, the payments are seldom made ontime, so there are heavy late payments and her credit is suffering. She recently received notice that the car is not registered because it failed inspection. Unfortunately now she owes more on the car than its worth. Because of these difficulties and her desire to no longer have any connection with this person, she asked him to either get a loan himself so that she will no longer have responsibility for the car or return the car to her (they have not dated for over a year) so that she can sell it and try to begin to repair the damage to her credit. He refused. Does she have any legal recourse?

Since she owns the car she can just take it.
