Q: Nearly three years ago, my sibling agreed to put a vehicle in their name, i make payments. They refinanced w/o my knowin
I haven't any receipts of this other than bank transactions to them, insurance the whole time, dozens of witnesses.
The contract stated there would be 36 fixed payments of $X, however, about 12 months in, I was requested to bring the vehcile to the finance comany for an inspection. After which, the payments went up ~$6
A few months ago, I asked how much was due on the car, I was told "about $7,000" which only paid $7,200 for it" I can't imagine only $200 have being paid from principle. I wholeheartedly suspect they refinanced the loan. Now I should have only three payments (<$1000) yet apparently there's ~$5,000 owed.
I took great care of the vechicle with maintenence and upgrades. I care not so much about the vehicle, but I wish to extract the equity that I paid for (especially with an extremely high interest that I paid) and the punitive consideration of being betrayed and blatantly lied to.
Should I file criminal/civil case against them?
