Unless you have a signed contract or bill of sale stating the terms of the contract, you may be in a bind.
How did the bill of sale to the DMV read, and did you have a separate contract drawn up?
This would be a civil court matter as far as I can see.

Reason: ed
There is a contract signed by the seller and buyer stating the purchase amount of $7000.00 and the weekly payments. In addition, the buyer signed a statement on her compamy letterhead indicating the April 1 payment and another statement indicating the payment on April 14. Both statements attest to the fact that there is additional money owed and a promise to meet weekly and make payments. I'm not sure how the bill of sale to DMV read.

If it is on a company letterhead, and signed by the payor, you have every right to pursue legal action in their regard.
However, you cannot repossess the vehicle without a warrant from the court. This will have to be taken up as a civil matter, and the presiding judge will have to dispense with the monies owed, or refundable if any.
I recommend consulting the local court justice. Most of the time they can be engaging, and willing to advise you toward a course of action. Or contact a local Court Clerk, and I'm sure she/he could point you in the right direction as well, if not "pencil you in" to have a brief chat with a justice.
After all, if you voted for them, or even if you didn't, you are still a constituent.
