My car blew its motor half way across country and I didn't have the money to fix or tow it. after it sitting there for several months I signed the title over to the garage as I would never have the money to go back for it. Did I commit fraud because I am in the middle of a money litigation??
Additional information
I am sorry, this is all new to me.I am being sued by a family member for allegedly owing them money. The claim is in the state of wa. and will be going to arbitration next month due to the amount of $$ being sought. I had taken a trip across country after I had recieved the summons and my car broke down in a remote area. The garage said the engine was blown. I had no money to fix nor tow the car,so I left it there. A few months later, when I could not pay for storage, or attempt to retrieve the car, I signed the title over to the owner of the garage. This person is nothing to me, just garage where I broke down. So, after having read somewhere that people are accused of fraud for selling vehicles during a civil lawsuit, I was prompted to ask the question. Can I be accused of fraud?? I recieved NO money for the vehicle. It legitamately broke down beyond repair and I could not afford to haul it out of there. I did not transfer the car to be deceitful, I truly could not fix it or haul it, so I left it. Answers (2)

Your question is unintelligible. How does the "money litigation" come into play? And what do you mean by "money litigation"? Is it a lawsuit that involves title to the car that you signed over to the garage? Is it a lawsuit over the failure to pay a credit card debt? It is impossible to answer your question without more information.
