Q: I dont know which form to file to sue someone in small claims court for the title to my car
The person in question is refusing to meet me so that we can make the exchange of her tags for my title
A:
Your question is a real mystery. Why would you be conveying to someone your car title in exchange for her giving you her car tags (and that's tags plural?)?? It's not legal to use someone else's tag.
But if I'm missing something, and you are seeking relief that you are legally entitled to, your local Clerk of Court likely has on-line forms, and if not, or you don't understand the forms, go in person to the Clerk's office, at any of their branch courts. Small claims court has jurisdiction when the property in question is worth $5,000 or less.
A: You might want to keep a legible copy of the buy/sell agreement between you and the owner of the car you are driving--because the police will want you to prove you did not steal the car.
