    Default Private Party Repo

    My question involves an auto loan or repossession in the State of: West Virginia/Texas

    My now ex husband lives and works in WV, and I moved to TX for a job, He filed for divorce later, He has my Pickup that is in my name on everything. But will not give it back. I have offered to go and get it after he failed to have it at an agreed meeting place with it. He has now stopped all communication to me.

    Some people have told me to just report it stolen, but I just want the truck back not getting him arrested.

    I also talked to my creditor about it, they said they would repo it to help me out but that would mean I lose the truck

    Or a private party repo, Cause as i stated above I just want it back, is it legal for me to have a repo order put on it?

    Default Re: Private Party Repo

    I wouldn't expect the police to treat this as a theft case. How do your friends propose that his keeping possession of the car post-divorce constitutes theft?

    If the vehicle is in your name, and only your name, if you locate it you can take it. But if you do that it makes sense to let the local police know what you're doing and to document your ownership to them, such that when your ex- calls to report the car stolen they will know that's not in fact what happened.

    Does your divorce judgment give you the right to possess this vehicle? Because if it gives him that right, even if it's in your name, he is entitled to possession.
