the whole story.. one of my friends came to me and told me that her bf had a car that he wanted get rid of. well me and my husband thought it would be a good idea to get it. from what we understood about it is we would just take over the payments. the guy was supposed to try to get it turned over to us and put it in our name. well about 2 months later we found out that the car isnt even in his name. its supposedly in his friends name. but we still tried to get them to help us get the car in our name. well they werent even trying to help us out so we decided not to keep it anymore. they said they either wanted the money for the payment or the car back. i told them to come get the car and they never did. they also said they would report the car stolen if we didnt give it back. they didnt come get the car so i had it towed 2day. was this the right thing to do?
