Is the lien on the car? Looks like this was a separate loan you took out to purchase a vehicle for him. do you have anything in writing from him as to repayment? Verbal agreements are enforceable if they can be performed within a year. So that defense is gone. However, if you can show that he has been paying you all along, receipts, deposits in your bank, then you could take him to court.
