Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Oklahoma
I bought a car from a person for 1800 with 500 as down payment and agreed to make monthly payments. No written contract no agreement on what date to pay no agreement on the amount each month. I lost my job last month and told her i couldn't pay because i didn't know when I'd have a job again. Told her to take back her car she said no she wants her money. No she is saying that she is going to accuse me of stealing her car. Can she do that? All I have are the receipts for the payments I did make but we have nothing in writing. I owe her 600.

If you have reciepts payable to the owner and/or title to the vehicle and/or proof that the owner recieved these payments you have established and secured your agreement.
You may also had established a full payment for the vehicle if no written contract was provided stipulating the amount owed or payable.
And, based on your statements, it appear that you did not sign an agreement to pay any set amount for the sale of the vehicle which leaves very little legal recourse for the previous owner.
As such, he/she cannot accuse you of stealing the car without cause for civil liability or civil suit. The reciepts should serve as proof of purchase or a bill of sale and it establishes you as the new owner of the vehicle.
I hope this helps.
