Seriously now, whose name is the car in an who is responsible for the finance agreement? if the car in his name it may cause you problems getting insurance.

There is no register of car ownership in this country. The DVLA records the name of the keeper of the car, not the owner. The V5 is explicit that it is not a title document.

If you don't want to pay I would wait and see if he takes you to court or stops making the car payments, in which case it would be repossessed anyway.

Depends on the loan. If it's an unsecured personal loan (e.g. like most bank loans that aren't mortgages) then the car isn't security for the loan so won't be repossessed.

The OP has the car and therefore should pay off their ex's contribution.

"Should" seems to me to be referring to morals and seems to you to be the morally correct approach that she should pay it. That is something I choose not comment on.

Legally though he has to prove that she owes him the money by showing that during their relationship they both decided to create an agreement with contractual intention. In other words its up to him to prove the car was not a gift and that's not going to be easy if she didn't sign anything.

Until the op comes back and explains the ins and outs of the car, can anyone of us really advise?

From what's been intimated, it was a joint finance and the op has the car for their own use. If this is the case then I would say the op needs to be paying the whole finance and the bf, cheating or otherwise , doesn't really owe a penny

So he's a cheating so and so. That however is an aside to a financial agreement
