Live in NVA and want $300.00?
Again, if anyone spots the car and we are able to get it back, we're willing to pay out $300
If you spot the car and we're able to tow it out of there. you get paid.
Anyone live near it?

We would have paid the difference from what was owed and the KBB value and then taken the car then sold it getting our money back plus no more lien but he didnt want to give the car up and pretty much said tough luck.
We want to repo it but no repo company will touch it because the car doesnt have an outstanding balance since its paid in full (by linh) and he has every right to drive the car (by law) as linh does since his name is on the title. If we could get the car back we could then put a request to remove him from the title. If anyone in NVA can spot the car and give us a heads up to where its at I will glady pay them as with go pick it up even if we have to drag it back to MD. Once the cars in our hands he will have no choice but to pay us or take us to court.

You can also take him to court for the money you paid. I know it is $6k and probably you can only ask for $5k (maybe you both can sue for $3k?). That would be a more reasonable approach.
Problem with the lawyer is A. I need to know where to send/serve the documents and B. Chances are he'll just toss them and if need be move somewhere else.
Damn viets.
To repo it I can see the issues, I understand that. but since it is also my wife's car, if we happen to find it somewhere there's no reason we can't take it. She is on the title. Once we get the car back at that point we have something to play with. He wants his car, fine pay us what we paid, if not, tough ****, we'll have the car and can easily take him to court or go to the MVA to request to remove his name from the title If needed we can easily use a lawyer at that point.

If its as easy to remove someone's name from the title once you have possession of the vehicle, whats makes you think he hasn't done that already? If he has successfully removed Lin's name from the title, you aren't repossessing the car, you're stealing it.
Unless he's managed to scape goat the system and get an abandoned title filed, he would need her signature to legally remove her name from the title. Until that happens, both names stay on the title.
Also, a carfax could confirm change of ownership on the title if there was any changes made.

We have the title in hand. He would have to get a lost title then try to remove her from the title.
Heres what would happen, you go to the DMV and do a request to remove person from a title, they will then send a letter to the address of the other person on the title, they then need to reply back, if not then the cars title will get changed.
We could go and try and change the title names and see where it goes, but at any point if he wanted to he could run the car into a building or off a bridge and be done with it. He owes nothing and hardly paid anything. So whats it to him? Best thing to do is get the car back so he loses his wheels and puts the ball in our court.
Last time they talked the guy was pretty much F you and hung up. So there's not much reasoning going on. Again we have the title in hand, as with the pay off letter from honda, as with all of the late payments 30+ from honda. I doubt we'll have a problem with it. It's just a matter of finding the car.
It's not easy to remove someones name because they can dispute it, but if he wants the car back he has to do more then the nothing hes willing to do. The car is as much linh's as it is his, so she has every right to drive it. There for taking it back is fine and will force him to do something about it.

Yeah, either way it's a lose-lose situation. It's basically down to who loses the most now.
If you could pull off getting his name off the title, you could get him charged with grand theft, or what ever charge they could stick him with. He could very well still ditch the car or destroy it, but he'll have no way to get that charge off his record. Whether or not he even cares right now is a different story because it'll haunt him in the future no matter what he does if he stays in the U.S.

Can you get him off the title without getting the car first? That way repo man would be more than happy to get it.
He needs to sign the title over, at least if we can get the car in our hands then we have what he wants, a car. Then he will be more willing to either pay us back, or sign it over since we can then easily go after him since he wont just hide. I can then apply for a title name change and attach it to a court letter requesting him to show up, if he fails to show up it should be good to go.
What if you were in his shoes and get a letter stating that there's a request to remove you from the title and then a box saying check if ok or check if not ok....

If they ask you the address, give them the last one you know. They will not get an answer and once you have the title on your name, I guess you can repo it.
Its a long shot, but I guess at this point, everything is.
I would again search for him on facebook, myspace, public records, white pages, etc....
Take the law into your own hands or write it off.
Perfect example of why not to co-sign with anyone... especially douchebags. Even my wife and I don't co-sign on each others crap.
Anyone who can't get credit on their own doesn't deserve it.

Although you are right. That's besides the point at this moment.... And as far as I understand, you cannot write it off on one year since it is so much money.
She was young and stupid, happened way before me and I already gave her more crap then I should have. I've since help rebuild her credit from 30+ late payments on her record to 700+ so shes on the right track.
More of a public service announcement with a perfect example of why not to.. :/
Hopefully you guys sort it out.
Go to the DMV and show them the title; ask them what kind of information they can pull up from the record. Minor traffic violations, or property taxes, anything of that sort may possibly get you an address of the driver that was involved.
If that doesn't work... I'm sure your wife would still know some of his friends or his associates to track him down right?
Or... you have the title.. make a bill of sale, have her sell it to you (sign both signatures) and get the new title with only your name on it.. Then you can report it stolen.

All good until the last paragraph.
I think both on the title have to sign it. And reporting it stolen is more problem that what he wants to deal with (I imagine).
Facebook, myspace, friends, public records, the current tags, white pages, etc... there must be some way to get his address. And you are right, the DMV must know where the guy is located since they must have sent the tag stickers somewhere!
