I sold the car.  I no longer own it.  I live in Texas.  Evidently he didn't turn the title in and I'm getting his parking tickets...I can't find my bill of sale.\n\nWhat do I do???????

Contact a lawyer.  Make sure you take care of this right away so you aren't charged with something more serious than just parking tickets!  The attorney should also be able to tell you what documentation you will need to show to the court to prove that the car was not in your possession at the time the tickets were issued.

IF you sold it ( depending on the state, in TN for example you are required to take your tag off of it at sale\n\nYou will be notified of the impound but the driver will get the tickets for driving it without stickeer and so on.\n\nYou will have to most likely prove you sold it to them, and that they failed to transfer the ownership.

Contact the DMV/BMV where it was located.\n\nIf it was yours, you can order a C.L.U.E. report.

You are focused...\n\nThe order stands, and I read from your last question it was in small claims court. That will be tough. It will take money to track him down, and the most you can be awarded in small claims is $2K.\n\nTalk to the sheriff's office and to an investigation agency. You'll have to get this person under your thumb, since as soon as you find him, he can change jobs. Also, make sure the court notifies the credit bureaus to post a judgment.

Sorry dear, but whether they encouraged you or not, it was you who signed those papers and there is nothing you can do.  You have free will and no one forced your hand.  Yes, they may have been misleading and that is morally wrong, but from a legal standpoint, they did nothing wrong. When you signed the documents you should have been fully informed (by reading the entire documents thouroughly) and if you did not do so, you cannot blame the car dealership.  It sucks that you are stuck with this high interest rate, but you locked yourself into that one.  There is no legal action you can take since they did nothing to force your hand to sign those documents, you did that, not the dealership.  Just because you make a mistake doesnt mean you can blame the company for it.  It looks like you may just have to deal with it or sell the car and buy something cheap (with the cash).  It isn't wise to finance a vehicle when you  are having money problems, anyway.  A vehicle is not a good investment because the value only decreases, it never increases.  Looks like you got yourself in a mess that only you can get yourself out of, not the law.

Why do I feel you are leaving out some important details here?  What's going on?\n\nThe dealer has the right to get a credit report on you if you have applied for credit with him.  Did you have a business transaction with this dealer (signed or otherwise)?  If so, you don't have a leg to stand on.\n\nIf no, then he is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.  See the link below for the entire text and see what the law says.\n\n\nIf you did have a business relationship with him, I don't see anywhere in the law that prohibits him from getting it 8 times.  He has to pay for each credit report, so if he wants to do that over and over that's his privilage.  You can contact the credit reporting agency and explain the situation.  They may remove some of the disclosure reports.  Be prepared to give them a good explanation.\n\nNow, if you were not applying for a loan, and he did do all of this, you can sue him for any damages that happened as a result.  Were you denied credit because of your now lower score?  Was the interest rate higher because of it?  Were you denied employment?  How were you damaged.  \n\nYou can't sue him just because your score went down.  You can report him to the credit bureaus, and they can deny his access to future credit reports.\n\nOn a happy note....if you can prove that he willfully requested credit reports, and you did not have a credit application or business relationship with him, he can be sued for $2500 for each violation. \n\nYour next step is to contact the credit agencies. Good luck

Consult a local lawyer.  It shouldn't cost for a consultation.\n\nThere are lots of issues raised by your question, enough that even if an answerer actually knows Canadian law they would not be able to provide a full answer.  I for instance don't even know enough about Canadian law to know whether it is just Canadian law that matters, or if provincial law also matters.\n\nHere are some of the issues:  does title insurance cover it, under the law or under your specific policy?  If not, do you have a cause of action against for fraud, intentional or negligent misrepresentation, against the seller?  Or for negligence or nuisance against the parking lot operator?  Or against the inspector who inspected the house prior to purchase?  Is there another insurance policy that might cover the damage -- either your own, or the parking lot operators?  Is there a statute of limitation issue, given that this happens every Spring?\n\nYou will also have to have a damage assessment, including your foundation.

Refer to the Song-Beverly Consumer Protection Act.  I bought a BMW 750 and it was malfunctioning a go awry from the moment I drove it off the lot.  I complained but BMW just wanted to fix it.  I went in and met with the manager there and sighted the act above as well as my willingness to pursue legal action should I be ignored.  In the end, I walked over to their showroom, said I want this one, and drove their model car out of their indoor showroom at no extra charge, after changing all the necessary paperwork.\n  However, be aware that most states do have a "no cool off" policy.  That means that you can't buy a car and then decide later that you don't want it, unless otherise specified by the dealer.  You can't simply change your mind and say you want your money back.  You have to have concrete evidence that "your expectations are not met" as provided within the lemon law.  Obviously, they must be reasonable.  Good luck!

Any parking violations? You know ,  outstanding parking tix?\n\nIf you let them go, they can come after you I think.\n\nGood Luck with whatever it is.......

If they left with out paying for gas and all they left behind was a card then most likely it was stolen!   But why didn't you guys called the cops??  You should have made a report that such person w/ this type of car came provided a possible stolen card and left w/ out paying for the gas...   \n\nFor all we know this individual may have committed a worst crime minutes earlier! Also, in the future you should write down all license plate #'s down in case this ever happens again.

I cant state whether or not it was a legal issue. I am not an attorney. However, you have the right to complain. The trooper that gave you the ticket will have his name printed on it. Contact your state trooper's office and inquire how to file a grievance. I can't understand however, how you could drive around without the most important papers not in your vehicle. You must understand that some of the responsibility for your bad day lies with you as well.

If it has been in both your possessions for 6 months, it is community property.  Go buy a car for you and tell him to stick that one up his a**!

You should contact whoever has your loan and work it out. Maybe they'll let you pay it in installments so you can catch up.  Don't ignore it or it may go into collection and your car might get repossesed.

Nowadays, it's handled like any other commercial debt.  If you don't pay it, they will send it to a collection company, and it could eventually end up on your credit report.  But it's administrative, not criminal, so you won't end up in court or with an arrest warrant, like for a moving violation.\n\nTry writing a letter telling them your story, or and even better one if you can think of it, and ask them to waive the fine.  Tell them that the meters were marked improperly and are confusing when it comes to  which is which.  Maybe tell them that your front plate was lost or stolen, and you have been waiting for another.\n\nAnyway, it's worth a try, and it does work.  Sometimes.

Go back to Court immediately and file papers (if you don't have an attorney, either call Legal Aid or ask the Clerk of the Court -who cannot give you legal advice, but CAN guide you to the correct forms to file) to bring the violation(s) of the Court Order to the attention of the judge for a ruling. Violations of a Court Order are Contempt of Court, and I have yet to meet a judge who takes these lightly (and I have met a couple, through similar situations caused by my ex). The Court does not feel warm & fuzzy about individuals who thumb their nose at the Court's authority. Until you take steps to get these matters brought back before a judge, your ex will continue to act without impunity. In the meantime, while you are waiting for a court date, take steps to protect your share of the community property, by making everyone (like banks, credit agencies, mortgage companies, etc.) aware of the Court's original ruling, in an effort to reduce your ex's chances of disposing of the property without your knowledge or permission. Good luck with this. Vindictive and unethical ex's can be very creative and resourceful. My ex even disposed of NON community property, when he got a hold of our daughter's house key, let himself in while I was out of town, stole my grandmother's hope chest and the hand-made quilts she had made which were in it, and sold them to a no-questions-asked dealer. I was unable to prove anything (it was all supposition and circumstantial, without witnesses) - and lost everything. DO NOT remain passive about this. You must act to protect your interests NOW.\n\nIf the vehicle is long-gone, the Court will likely not only find your ex to be in Contempt (and subject to fines and/or jail time), but will likely also order your ex to pay you at least half of what he sold it for - which he must prove. You should try and track down the paperwork pertaining to the sale, as best you can, to bring with you into Court. You should also consider getting a subpeona served on the person he sold the vehicle to, to force them to come into Court and testify as to the circumstances surrounding the sale. This person will likely be viewed as a hostile witness, but they WILL have to testify - unless THEY also want to face contempt charges. \n\nTaking these actions will send a clear message to your ex that he has rattled the wrong cage. Be diligent and persistent. You are not doing these things to "get back at" your ex. You are doing thse things to protect your interests.

What you need to do is file a police report and report the car as stolen.  Once that's done you'll get your car back.  You don't need anything other then the title to have a tow company tow the car.  Once they have proof of the title showing you as sole owner (if your ex is on the title you have NO right to take the car or report it as stolen) they can tow it and ship it for you.  If you don't want a lien to be placed by the tow company you MUST PAY UPFRONT ALL COSTS, otherwise they have the legal right to a lien until paid regardless of if you didn't sign allowing a lien.  (All states allow tow companies to claim liens until paid)
