Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Hawaii
don't lend money
My son & girlfriend found a suv for sale ($15,000) that was real cheap & in good condition, but the person selling it neeeded the money now. I took 15,000 loan and gave it to them (they really needed the suv w/two kids and all), to get the car. They were going to get a loan and pay me back. Well, they broke up, her name is on the title / not his. She says she will pay the $302.00 a month, and so far she has. But I think I need some kind of a contract or something just in case ?
Am I screwed ? or is there something I can do ?
thanks-from hawaii

Re: don't lend money
You need a Promissory Note and Security Agreement (so you can repo the car if payments are NOT made).
DO you have all collection info: Where she banks, works, SS # etc.
