<prompt> Human: Ok, so this is a slightly long story, so bear with me:I recently moved across country to get out of a rut, get away from family drama, etc. Its been the hardest year of my life, and it was necessary. Here is where things turn bad. I sold a car right before I left. The car had a loan for 10k. Moving expenses were more than expected. It was my first move, and I dramatically underestimated the costs. Long story short, a large chunk of that money is spent. The new owners of the car are wondering when they are getting a title, and I am trying to figure out how to get it paid off.I was also anticipating receiving some inheritance, which is roughly the amount the car was worth. I told myself it would be fine, but Ive just found out I wont be receiving the money until mid-Spring. I am working hard, and I make enough money where I could get the loan paid in 4-5 months, on top of my other expenses. But, that doesnt help me now.I understand how irresponsible my actions wereare, but all this happened pretty shortly after losing one of my parents and the subsequent shtstorm hence the inheritance. My credit is in the poor category, due to a year of unemployment that I am still trying to catch up from. I am basically really, really nervous about the legal repercussions, as this all could be construed as fraud though I have absolutely no intention of screwing the poor person who bought the car. Is there any way out of this? I feel if I contact the buyer and fully explain the situation, they will run to the police screaming fraud. Are there personal loans I can get? Help!I dont mind taking a high-interest loan with a 1-2 year term, as I think I can afford it and it saves me from potential legal trouble. Id even take a second job if I need to. I try to be as honest as I can, but this is really one of those oh my gosh, I am screwed moments. I should also add that there are few, if any, people I know that Id try to borrow several thousand dollars from.TL:DR: I sold a car with a lien on the title, and no longer have the money to pay off the loan and am now crapping my pants at the consequences. I wasnt attempting to defraud anyone, circumstances just sort of crept up on me as they sometimes do. I would love some advice on potential solutions.  <response>: Youve got to make good with the people who bought your car. They spent money, but they dont have a title on the car to show for it. In my mind, correcting this is more important than trying to stay out of deeper debt. They are likely to sue you if you dont deliver a title soon.I agree a short-term loan 1-2 years would be good if you can get one. Make sure you get a loan big enough to pay off the car. Youve got to get that title in your hand, and then mail ASAP to the people who bought your car. When you receive the inheritance, put it all toward paying off that loan. Then do whatever it takes to pay off that loan.
