My question involves a marriage in the state of: California
Good morning!
In our divorce I was awarded our car. The ex-husband and I agreed upon it. The car loan is not in my name. It's in my ex-husband and his friends name. Within the past 3 months I have tried to get financed so I can put the car in my name and I have also tried to trade it in for something newer and more reliable. I was denied for personal loan, an auto loan, and etc. (even with my dad co-signing who has good credit). I looked into why I was being denied. It turns out my ex-husband stopped paying the rent (we lived in base housing and he's military) from December 15-31 and January 1-31 and pocketed the money. Since I was on the lease I'm now in collections for $3000+. Due to being in collections for that amount I can't secure any type of loan. It's impossible for me right now to get the car in my name. The car needs repairs done on it (so I can sell it private party) but due to being in collections I can't secure (even with a co-signer) a small personal loan. My dad went and financed a car for my children and myself. So we would be in something reliable and safe. I have been told by the banks and dealerships that had I not had the $3000+ collection I would have been able to get out from the said vehicle. My ex-husband is taking me back to court since I missed a payment on the car. At that time I was wanting to ask the judge if he could reverse the judgment on the car. I have tried everything I can do.
