Either way. If OP paid for the car and she registered it in her name it's not right.
You don't know that. Why is the mother involved in the first place? He is starting the whole thing wrong anyway. Buying a car with money borrowed from brothers friend with the promise of paying him back with the money he thinks he will have sometime in the future? Makes no sense. He is up to no good and the mother found out and kept the title as insurance. On top of that he has the gal to come here and brand his mother as a thief.

No i would never do such a thing i have too much respect for my mother, even if you take into account this incident to do that to her. Thats going overboard, borderline juvinile to do that to her. I will admit it is a funny idea, but it would be more than wrong to do that to my mother. Now if you were talking about my passive agressive redneck step-grandfather......

Btw is step-grandfather even a word? Lol

Either way. If OP paid for the car and she registered it in her name it's not right. Whatever was happening between OP and mom previously has nothing to do with the purchase and title transfer. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that ......

There is more to the story it was the result of a petty arguement the day that she was going to file the title transfer, but regardless IMO (although im baised) theres no situation the excuses the motive to use the vehicle as leverage in a revenge rage. And for those of you asking why i asked my mother to do the title tranfer is because im 21, and never bought a car on my own before and i was going to do it with her to learn how to transfer a title but had to work which resulted in her putting the title in her name after the petty arguement.

First of all, there is no reason to be rude. Secondly, my mother knew about the deal and it not money i THINK i will have its money i have saved up and will be making in the next few weeks. I have a job, so its really not that uncommon tp hear of situations where people borrow money like this. Is it not the same thing as taking out a loan? youre still paying money back.... And last time i checked if someone pays for something and you claim ownership for it instead, thats stealing. I dont care if youre family or not, stealing is stealing. So now all she has to do is call the cops and report it stolen and im arrested and she gets the car. Yea, thats stealing.

She can not call the cops and report the car stolen, because it wasn't. She would have to take you to court and if what you say is true, her chances of prevailing in court are zero.
You can't allow someone to drive your car and then report it stolen. That is why car dealers always go with you on a test ride. If they allowed you to drive the car, and you don't bring it back, their only recourse is to take you to court because they allowed you to drive the vehicle, you didn't steal it. When they allow you to drive it, it's not stolen no matter if you fail to return it or not. It then becomes a civil matter.
Once again I say, drive it and enjoy it, it doesn't matter who's name is on the title. and contrary to what one posted said, you can certainly get the vehicle insured no matter what the title says.
Hopefully you and mom will have a better understanding after some time passes. Forget the drama, drive it an enjoy it and pile heaps of love on good ol' mom..!!

And why would you pay for a car without witnessing the title being signed over to you by the previous owner?

Something Smells funny and O.P. is not telling the full story.
At 21 years old you're a grown damn Man, why would you need your mothers help to do something so, so simple?
Who's driving the car right now?

Man, I've read a lot of dumb threads on CD lately.

I simply don't know how some people make it through the day.

It was bought from a family member, so would a bill of sale still be needed? Again because of my lack of experience in this situation, i dont know how this works....? Because my brother bought a car a while back and i dont think he got a bill of sale and he just transfered the title in his name and they never asked for it. The only reason i know this is because i have heard this issue come up before about not having a bill of sale.

Because the car was bought from a family member and again like i said, i didnt know how to do it, with this being my first self-paid car and all, and i trusted my mother to handle it while i was at work.

Ok again stop being so rude, just because you know how to do something doesnt mean everyone else in the world knows how. There is no more to the rest of the story, bought a car from a family member. Never bougt a car before, so i dont know how to file the paperwork, trusted my mom to do it while i was at work, and she turns around stabs me in the back. To be honest age, doesnt mean anything. And im not a grown ass man at 21, i'm still a young man so get over yourself. Im barely the legal age to drink. Most kids my age are barely know how to apply for college or balance a bank account at my age, but you can thank the education system for that.

All I know is what I read. What I'm saying is whatever the previous disagreement between OP and mom has nothing to do with the vehicle. If he wants to borrow money from a friend to buy something and the friend allows it and OP is a legal adult then mom has no say in what adult OP does. Now if OP is a minor that's a different story.
Just because mom doesn't like it doesn't mean she can stop it or do as she did

You're right!
Could your dad ,maybe a uncle help you out in all this?
Maybe have a older male family figure talk to your mom. Or Maybe have the person that lent you the money go talk to your mom. At the end of the day, you're still a young man and you're going to need an adult to handle it for you.
