Legal Advice please help?

Please help here's my situation: I stupidly signed a car to my name so someone else could make the payments, after she begged me and even had the salesman call my job. So she made a couple of payments before I got a call from the bank saying her checks bounced so he threatened to take action so I immediatley went to the bank and paid 1295 dollars. I contacted the girl and she refused to give me the car back I reported it stolen and I told her I did just that and finally a couple of days later she gave it to me. So now I'm stuck with a 23k car that I don't want or need. Here's the kicker though she wrote a letter saying after the 6th payment she would put it into her name (that's what the bank told her as to how many months) and she had it notorized by the State of Illinois. Can I take her to small claims court for this? I was thinking of taking the car back to the dealer and taking the hit and I pay the remainder of the unpaid balance after it's sold at the auction and take her to court and make her pay the remaining balance. I can get a lawyer and take her to court based on that letter. So should I keep the car just in case or just give it back to the dealer? I already have a car not of my own and tried trading them both in but it's so much negative exquaty that if I took another car they'd put me in a 2008 with a $700 to $800 a month payment. Please help guys.

It's best to hire an attorney for this matter. It looks like she left you in the dumps. Better get back at her with a lawsuit.

Small Claim won't help you because of the amount is larger than allowed.

What you should do it sue the lady for breach of contract. (Your verbal agreement with her for co-sign the car is a contract.) As soon as you can prove it, you can sue her for that ground.

A lawyer is always good help. But they may charge high.

Try to resolve it without the court is the best way, such as selling the car, and sue for the remainer in Small Claim will have the highest change of recovery.
