Re: auto repo
Never, never, never make "hand-shake" verbal agreements with people. ALWAYS make agreements in writing.
First, make sure that you have all documentation of payments made to the person. Since the person is seeking to repo the car, you can force him to show proof that you owe money. In addition, he will have a hard time showing what the agreement was too, since he has nothing in writing either.
You may be forced to file in court to get the court to sort it out. It's also in your favor that he is refusing a payment you're trying to make (assuming that it was on time).
