My exgirlfriend is making payments for a vehicle that is in my name. How can I switch it to her name?

Go to the DMV and ask them how to do it. For a car that you already own you just get the transfer of title paperwork and sign it over to her. But with a car that hasn't been paid for I'm not sure.

You would have to speak to whomever the loan is through and change the name and/or sell the vehicle to her. If there aren't many payments left and you trust her, wait until the payments have all been paid then give her a letter stating that she purchased the vehicle from you. Be careful for the DMV and insurance though. If you own the vehicle you should insure it.

The problem is that you are making payments on the vehicle and don't have the title yet since the lien holder probably has the title.

The question is who's name is on the loan paper work? If the only name on the loan is yours, then technically you are legally responsible for the vehicle. In order to get the vehicle in your ex's name is for her to apply for a loan in her name and then title can be transferred to her as well.

If the loan is in both your names, then contact the loan company and see what are the legal ways to remove your name and liability from the loan. If her credit is good, the loan company may allow her to carry the loan on her own.

Certainly, go to the county courthouse with your ex and sign the title over to her.

go to a court house and sign the titttle or go to the delar and make the change

There is only one way! You must sell it to her, have her establish her own loan, pay off the existing loan, and establish new registration and title. (Sales Manager at a Chevrolet Cadillac Dealership)

Since you don't have the title, you have to contact the finance company and see if they approve the transfer. They should if the payments are consistent.

sell her the car for $1.00 that is a legal sale. no less than that.

I would go to the place or Person whom You purchased the car from to start with then go to Your local DMV and trasfer the title over to Her and the rest is history. I just went thrue all this with an ex. good luck!!!

Since you are making payments, it's not paid for. The bank or finance company would have to advise you regarding this. Ignore the other advice you are getting, you obviously can't sell the car to her since you don't own it yet, the finance company is the legal owner and has the final say.

Talk to her about the situation!
Is the vehicle registered in your name or hers???

You need to contact the place where the payments are made (normally a finance company) and make them aware of her taking over the debt - you may also need to send them an affidavit (or other type of sworn document) that the co-domestic relationship has ended and that you are no longer responsible for her debts - the finance company should have or be able to provide you with all the information you need.
(changing the lein title / temp title, through the state will not affect the debt owed)

Go to your Bureau of Motor Vehicles and they will do it for you. You will probably both have to go and there will be a fee involved. The amount will vary depending on what state you are in.

Well here's the thing if the vehicle still has a lien on it u cannot switch it to her name. The bank won't allow it. She would have to get financing for it in her own name. If she's just paying u for the car on a private sale basis then u can go ahead and transfer the title into her name at a title bureau no problem. If the car has a lien on it then she would have to pay off the loan in its entirety in order for u to be able to transfer the title to her.
