Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

I have purchused a car from a friend and had agreed to pay an X amount witch was all verbal no written contracts. I had moved and lost contact with him and still owed x amount of dollars on it, a year later after never hearing anything from him i got a phone call stateing i need to turn the car over or i'll have a warrent issued for my arrest. I knew i still owed so i turned the car over he told me he needs to get the paperowrk they will mail it to me. I never recieved anything in the mail called repo man several times i had set up times to meet him to get paperwork and both times i tried he was a no show. Then he said he would come to my house with the paperwork and he had cancelled and i have not heard anything from hom since. Just wanted to know if any of this is legal he did sign the title over to me.

You really screwed up here. You should not have given the car back. His only remedy if you failed to pay was to sue you for money, not repo the car.

Now, you have a car out there that is titled to you that you dont have. If it is in an accident, you will get sued.

You need to get the title out of your name and make sure that makes you two even.
