A:
I'm sorry to hear you're facing this situation with your sister. Start by having an open and honest conversation with her about the payments you provided for the car. Sometimes, clear communication can resolve misunderstandings and help both of you reach a mutual agreement.
If talking directly doesn't lead to a solution, review any written agreements or records of the payments you made. Having documentation can strengthen your position and clarify the terms of your arrangement. Make sure to outline the amount you’ve paid and any expectations regarding repayment.
Should the issue remain unresolved, you might consider involving a neutral third party to mediate the discussion. In some cases, seeking advice from a legal professional can provide guidance on the best steps to take next. Taking these actions can help you work towards recovering your money in a fair and structured manner.
