Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Lawsuit for balance of vehicle loan?
I signed for a vehicle for my now ex-boyfriend. Everything was in my name but we had a verbal agreement that this was his truck and he was to make the payments on it. We broke up, and about 1 1/2 months later he decided to drop the truck off in my driveway and leave me to deal with his mess. Of course the truck has a high amount of negative equity. My question is, once I get the truck sold, am I able to take him to small claims court and sue him for the balance (loan is $22,000 and I'm hoping for $15,000 for the truck)? I do have an email from him in which he acknowledges that it is his responsibility and he will get the truck problem taken care of. Do you think I have any chance? Thank you so much for your time!

Re: Lawsuit for balance of vehicle loan?

Yes, you have evidence of any oral contract. Also the limit for DJ court is $8,000 plus filing fees.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
