Legal assistance with car and ex-partner

Questioner

Hello, Together with my ex I bought a car that I used for years, but that was in his name. When we broke up he wanted to keep the car and give me 2500. After a long time I received 1750 with the message that he thought this was enough and could not give the 750 because he did not have it. Now I absolutely disagree with that. But he no longer answers his phone and does not respond to messages, so discussing this is not possible. I am in possession of the keys and car papers. Can I take the car, put it in my name and indicate that he can have the car back + papers as soon as I have received the remaining 750?

Lawyer

You and your ex have an agreement. Your ex doesn't follow through. You can put your ex in default. By sending a letter. I want to include that. You can also suggest your ex to borrow the remaining amount? You can then use the vehicle..

Thanks for your response. The intention was that he would lend money, but he doesn't want this anymore. I would like to send a letter, hoping that he will pay. If he still doesn't do that, can I take the car without any problems and in my own name?

To send the correct letter I have -the way of living together (marriage? etc..) -the way of recording (or not..) -etc. necessary.
