I have a legal matter involving a contract.?

I enterered into a written contract that allowed me use of a leased vehicle and an additionl monthly payment. The other party confronted me about seeing another person driving the leased vehicle. The other party has allowed many others to drive the car, when a friend allowed me to borrow their truck for about three hours,I loaned them the car. The other party said that I violated the contract but the contract does not discuss other drivers. The other party took the car back and said that they will also no longer make the monthly payment of the money that they have agreed to pay me. The other party is a personal injury lawyer and wrote up the contract. We entered into the contact 1 year ago and there has be several times that they have threaten to take the car or stop payment of the money owed. I feel that because of their legal position they are taking advantage of me. What can I do?

If I understand your question correctly. You entered a contract that allowed you the use of a leased vehicle with the individual who leased the vehicle through the dealership. Who happens to be a personal injury lawyer.

First we will discuss the term lease trade. The term Lease Trade, as it applies to car leasing, generally refers to the concept of third-party lease assumption (sometimes know as a "lease takeover"). Most auto lease companies do not allow lease trades, or lease assumptions, at all. Considering this information the writen contract that you entered into may not even be legal.

The next question is, who is maintaining the insurance on the car? Is the car insured under your name or under the individual who leased the vehicle? Most auto lease agreements require you to maintain insurance coverage; bodily injury or death liability; $100,000 per person / $300,000 per occurance, property damage liability: $50,000, comprehensive and collision for the actual value with no more than a $500 deductible. In addition, some insurance companies only cover the insured individual not other individuals driving the vehicle who are not on the policy. In some cases the other individuals insurance company will cover the cost of the damages to the other individuals vehicle. If the vehicle is not insured under your name, I can see why the original party who leased the vehicle would not like you to allow others to drive the vehicle. However, if the vehicle is insured in your name and your insurance will cover the costs no matter who is driving the vehicle or the other individual's insurance will cover the cost of the damages to your vehicle, I do not see how that broke the written contract, especially if there was not a clause in the written contract that stated you were the only individual allowed to operate the vehicle.

In any case, if the written contract you signed and entered is not even legal, than the personal injury lawyer is in a heap of trouble, most likely he/she could even be disbared.

I would contact the Attorney General's office and place a complaint, if the Attorney General's office does not handle this type of complaint, they will give you the government agency that is responsible for handling this type of complaint and the phone number. Your complaint will be investigated by the appropriate government agency and the necessary legal action will be taken against the personal injury lawyer. Any damages that you are owed will be covered as well. This is free of charge, so you will not have to pay for legal expenses which would be very costly.

Good luck.

If your contract spells out absolutely nothing about any other drivers, then youre good and if they try to void the contract over other drivers then they are wrong and you can sue in small claims court for breach of contract. Next time have evry little detail spelled out in the contract before entering it

Present your case at small claims court. If there is nothing in your contract about use of the car by others, you will probably win. Next time, don't sign any unusual contract without having a lawyer look at it first.

IT depends on what type of person you are i obviously don't have the contract in front of me but read through it. and if you want to sue them get a lawyer to look at the contract and see what they can do for you
