ok so about 6 months ago i got my crx, i had a 1988 integra modded and i was trading for my rex, we traded np, i got the bill of sale with his signiture and mines then a few datys later i went to the dmv and got a bill of sale form and mailed it in... well the guy dumped the car a while ago and now today i get a letter in the mail saying that i have to pay these outrageous fees for towing and storage. but that car was sold to HIM!!! i was wondering if any of you guys would know what is going to happen . am i going to have to pay those fees ($3000) for it. it should be in his name and even if its not i have a bill of sale with all VIN #s and dates etc im worried that i have to pay that ****...


any info would be greatly appreciated

 

call your dmv and ask them...

 

Present your case @ DMV, You may already be in the Clean- but DMV paperwork often lags.. Hope you kept any/all supporting doc(s) to show them

 

bump bump bump

 

did u fill out a release of liability?

 

yeah and i mailed to the dmv before the 10 days was up

 

A couple of years ago my parents had something similar happen to them. They called the company that towed the car and told them that they had sold it and that they didnt want the car. After that they never heard anything else about it.

 

any other feedback fellas

 

so you signed over the car to him, but did he ever bring the title to the DMV to claim ownership?

if he did not and he dumped the car its still your car.

If you made copies of the title and bill of sale to transfer ownership you should be alright.

Personally if they try to say its your problem i would call a lawyer, but only if i could prove that the car was in fact sold and no longer in my possession.

 

yeah i have 2 bills of sale one sayiong that i XXXXX trade my 88 teg for ,XXXXXX's 90 crx vin#xxxxxxx and visa-virsa is that what your asking?

 

bump for the help

 

well if you have a document that says the car is no longer your and was sold to XXXXX then you should be able to go to the DMV or atleast call them and explain what is happening. get some answers from them as to how this situation can be fixed since it is no longer your car.

the problem is if he didn't take the title to the DMV and claim ownership its legally your car... the only thing you have is the bill of sale which says its not your car anymore, but it really is if the title was not transferd.

can you contact the new owner and ask him what the hell is going on?

if he just bailed the car and now your stuck with the bill thats wack. if the dmv says you have to pay the bill you'll more than likely have to pay it... BUT you can go to small claims court and sue the new owner since he signed the bill of sale which makes him the owner...sort of...

the reason why DMV is calling you is because the title must still be in your name. You need to get more information from the new owner like ... did you submit the title... where is the title .... see if he'll even give you a copy of the title or the original with his name and signiture on it that way you can nail him in court. call the dmv explain the situation ask them what you should do and who to talk to. call a lawyer as a last resort.

 

i also see you 17. sit down with your parents and discuss. they may have some insite as to how to resolve this without you having to pay.

 

my dad will kick my ***... but he knows


thanks alot manson
