Legal Question in Business Law in South Carolina

I bought a car and paid by cashiers check, for my sons fiance. Well, she packed her things and left. The agreement was that she continue to pay me back each month until the $7,000 was paid off. She is refusing to pay for the past three months now. I made the mistake of putting the car in her name when I bought it, for insurance purposes. Can I take the car back even with it being in her name, if I have a cashiers check receipt showing I paid for it?

As a Franchise Attorney I can say the following. You will need to go to court to get a verdict against her for whatever she owes. You can't simply take back the car. As you probably know, it was a mistake to put title in her name. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
