My son put a down payment on a 1996 Toyota Rav 4 in March of 2017. In April he made his first payment. Then in April, the clutch went out. He tried to contact the car lot to no avail. I called and did not get an answer for over 3 months. Then out of the blue, they called me and asked for a payment. I asked about no one answering phone calls and was told that the partner had broken his back. I explained the issues with the clutch and that my son no longer wanted the car. They said that they would fix the car and add it to his note. My son decided he did not want the vehicle due to their lack of communication. So I began the process of trying to get ahold of someone again. When I finally got someone I told them he didn't want the car. They said they would come pick it up, Several months go by and they never came. Then one Sunday a very shady looking man shows up and says he is the car dealers friend and he was there to drive the car off. I again explained that they will need a tow truck. He said he would be back. Again months go by and he shows up at 930 - 10 at night. There is a big fiasco because they did not identify themselves and they threatened my husband. We had to call the police. Again they planned on driving the car. It is now November and they have not removed the car from my property. They will not answer when we call. Can I claim the car and get the title so I can do whatever I want with the vehicle?
