I'll try to keep this brief. In Dec. 07 my husband took my van to a local shop for minor work. $2,400 & 4 months later, it still isn't working. We still owe him $1,000 & he's given us an estimate that another $1,100 of work needs to be done. We finally got a 2nd opinion, & mechanic #2 won't work on the vehicle at all - he says the engine is shot due to a misdiagnosis by Mechanic #1.
The balance was due 4- 15-08. We've been trying to deal with him, as we feel we shouldn't owe him for ruining our car. He recently came to our home while we were gone & took the van w/ a key he had made while he had it. He has not sent any written notice etc. He does have a contract that my husband signed saying that he gives consent to reposess the vehicle & apply for title if the balance is not paid.
1. I own the van - not my husband. Could this be a loop hole?
2. Does he have to give notice or apply for title before taking the van?
Any advice would be appreciated. We're in MO.
