In Ohio, you can pay off the loan and sue her and get a judgment against her for the amount you had to pay on account of her breach of the contract to pay for the car. However, there is an old saying among trial lawyers in Ohio. Getting a judgment is easy. Collecting on it is hard. If she has a job though you can garnish her wages.
