A: Get a copy of the loan and see who signed it and who it was given to. Are you the only person on title to the vehicle? Check your credit to see if this loan is being reported on your credit reports (go to annualcreditreport.com). You may need to hire an attorney to sort all this out. Time is going to be of the essence.
