Well I really fucked up. I met a lady at the homeless shelter when I was volunteering and I tried to help her.
She was at the shelter for 2 months last October. I had an old car I didn't want any more so I offered to give it to her. Agreed to help her get her divorce. Eventually cosigned an apartment.
Why did I do this? I really felt bad for her, and I had this extra time and a car I didn't need. I thought it would be easy and make me feel good too help.
So what happens? For 4 months this woman delays taking over the insurance and ownership, so I'm at risk whenever she drives. I'm still the owner... Finally I had enough. She was dodging me, so I went over to her apartment (which I co-signed for).
My car is not there. But her husband's truck is there. So I talk to the neighbours and find out 1) she's back with her husband and they are living in the apartment I cosigned for together now, 2) she gave the car to someone who is driving it so I have to report it stolen, 3) when I call her on this shit she starts crying and telling me this nonsense, then calls HIS phone and says I'm bring mean and she's crying to HIM then.
When I served him with divorce papers he said he was going to stab me in the neck! The cops didn't' want to charge him. Now I have to go back to the SAME cop station and tell them my situation to help get my fucking car. Like an idiot.
Fuck, lol, this is so ridiculous. I have learned my lesson and I am not doing good deeds for strangers ever again!
OMG. End rant. Hugs appreciated.







I am sorry that happened to you. You are not an idiot, you are a good person who sees the good in others and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Just focus on your charity volunteering next time rather than getting involved with an individual and you will make a difference. For now, look out for yourself and see if there is any way to get your name taken off the lease so you won't have any problems in the future if they don't pay their rent.
