Ex girlfriend trying to make me pay for the car!!

Lips_and_Lashes

Its blatantly obvious that your ex girlfriend took the loan out on your behalf and it was not a gift. You were making the loan repayments of £80 despite it being through her bank account.

I was stupid enough to get a mobile phone contract out for ex partner; he agreed to it, picked out the mobile phone and made the payments every month. Until we split up. Luckily I was able to retrieve the phone and some monies towards the contract. Lesson learned.

Don't be an absolute coward. Return the car back to your ex girlfriend or pay off the rest of the loan. Karma will return the favour, either way.

There is a word for "men" like you in my world... And it's not very pleasant. Morally you should sell the car and pay off the loan, "gift" or otherwise. You have to be a special kind of lowlife to expect someone else to keep paying £7000 on a car you are faffing around in. I'm sure your parents are so proud of your obviously outstanding moral fibre.

Surprising how quiet the OP has gone as if he thought he would get sympathy no-one deserves to be treated the way he's treating his ex he will probably never rear his ugly head and nasty attitude again

I hope his ex comes on here and gets advice and sues his sorry arris for every penny nasty piece of work!!!

It can't and won't happen though, we have seen many threads where one partner has done similar and at the end of the day they have just had to lick their own wounds.

It's a shame all we can hope is that he gives her the car then poor woman, I thought maybe she could as he has paid but I have no knowledge of legal matters at all

The answer is usually the most obvious one, not the craziest one.

Some people think they're Sherlock Holmes. Some people never believe anything and make massive assumptions. Some people never question their stupid assumptions. Some people will never learn.

If your ex was that much of a cow to you, why would you want to drive around in a car that she bought and, probably, reminds you of her and her evil ways?

Just give her the car, they keys and the green V5 slip in her name. Send the rest of the V5 to the DVLA so it's in her name (any tickets won't come to you), and move on.

keeping the car and not paying her back is just revenge on your part, and, I've got to say, is massively childish.

I would never expect or want my partner to buy me a car, if they want to gift me something, fine, but a car on credit, never. If you can't afford to pay for something, you shouldn't. Going into debt for gifts is a mugs game.

People need to spend within their means.

I pay the whole mortgage for our house together, so my partner can enter into an agreement for her own car. She knows the score, and knows that I enable her to afford the car and effectively pay for the car indirectly. Her name is on the mortgage, so doesn't care that she doesnt make payments on the mortgage. She owns half the debt/ equity

On the previous house, I bought it in my name, but she moved in and gave me half the deposit roughly (to stop her spending it, and missing the opportunity). A fair transaction and I come good on the deal on the next house by putting her on the mortgage. I am a man of my word and have integrity, as a result I still live my said partner will be getting married soon, and have a lovely son together who is two, and am thankful I can see him everyday, and life a nice life, I sleep well at night as a result!!

You should do the right thing and give the car back to her, what she then does with it, is up to her... sell it, pay off debt etc. Its not then your problem. Regardless of why you split, you knew she probably took out the loan. Just ask yourself this, is it reasonable, and do you really hate her that much... I guess regardless of what she did, she never set out to hurt you, trusted you, and things just didn't work out, you don't need to make her suffer, just be a man and show her what she is missing in a different nice way, move on with your life! Be thankful that it hasn't got messier or later in to the relationship before you realised you both were not compatible.

Presumably the point of the OP was to "testdrive" his claim that his GF who lived at home and was in fulltime employment with a good enough wage to obtain a 12K loan needed £80 a week from him to pay for food and fares as she couldn't afford it from her own earnings rather than it was to cover loan repayments on the car (that coincidently were also £80 a month).

Hopefully he'll realize that a court will see through his claim as easily as the majority of posters here have -and he'lll simply sign the car over to her rather than ending up with having to pay through the courts with her court costs also added to his debt.

We hope to see another thread "still paying a loan for an EX's car that I took out for him" and we can get the other side of the story!

Who ever's name is on the receipt is the legal owner.

If the OP was paying for the loan, £80 a week = £350 a month, then that was the intent to pay, as £350 is about right of a £12K loan over 4 years. Whether or not the EX goes to court, wins and pursues the OP for the car and or money is another thing.
