I bought a truck from a guy and it was not in his name it is in some one else name what can I do?

ask him if he has the title and why he didn't put it in his name and why he didn't give it to you personally i would give the car back to him because before you can transfer it they have to sign it kinda like a bill of sale from the previous owner i would back right out of that it could get real messy i would tell this guy to get the title signed by the person whos name is on it then buy it this could open up to be a big mess and your a innocent by stander it won't help the situation at all this is the guys fault that sold you the car cause he didn't get the vehicle released cause its not in his name thats what i would do
