Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: a written response

the site does not permit attachments. You cannot expect to keeop the car and not make the agreed upon payments. You need to contact the plaintiff and see if you can work something out. If you can't pay as agreed or the seller is unwilling to accept different terms, then you will need to give the car back and there will likely be funds owed in addition to just giving the car back.

Frankly, however, if you have not paid for the car in 6 months, it is not reasonable to expect to keep it. The court will most likely rule against you in any hearing and a judgment will be entered. You should speak with the lender and try to make arrangements for payments if you truly want to keep the car. You will not find charity from the court or the lender.
