Got A Car From My “aunt”, Allegedly Can’t Move Out Of The State Until I Pay It Off. Need Advice Please.

Location: North Dakota

So last month, on December 5th I bought an 04 Honda Pilot for $2800. I put $600 down, and am paying 350/mo for it. I got it from my Uncle’s first baby momma.

Thing is, I’m moving to Indiana within the next month and a half. I told my parents about my move a little over a week ago (I’m 20) and they said my uncle “won’t let me leave the state” without it being paid off.

The thing is, on the bill of transfer, she sold it to me for $500 to make taxes cheaper on the vehicle, so legally, it’s paid off. (I think?) I planned to have it paid off within the next seven months, so to find out I must pay off my car before I leave really messed up with my budget.

It’s registered in my name, the title is in my name, and there is no Lien on the vehicle, I am the only one listed on the vehicle.

So my question is, can my uncle legally repossess my car? I know he can try to sue me in court, but I also read that if I’m making my payments on time, there’s not much they can do.

I really would like to leave before paying my car off, because I signed off on a lease, and this was totally unexpected and feels like it’s a trap to keep me up here. (My parents are crazy, I’m never buying a car from family again I fear)

Any help or info, would be greatly appreciated and any questions, feel free to ask!
