Re: my new car

If the title is in your name it is your vehicle. Because she took out the loan, she owes the money.

However the bank has a secutity interest in the car and can forclose on that interest if the loan is in default.

Suggest you refinance the debt and get her off of the loan.

I am unclear why you must send the title to her bank.
