Sold a car over a year ago- still getting parking tickets

[Howard]

DMV still hasn't figured it out?? Just think..the same people that run DMV will run obama care.

No they don't, you god damned idiot.

 

[DaTT]

Depends on the state fellas. In Texas, the plates stay with the car.

What if you have personalized plates?

 

[rh71]

just seems so involved to sell a car privately - a lot easier to sell trade in at a dealer (yes they will rip you off).

Obamacare won't be running the hospitals.

Take her to small claims court. Start documenting all the time you are wasting cleaning up due to her inaction. Sue her for your time.

At the very least, you will get her attention.

Such a suit will probably be laughed out of court.
Small claims is intended for damages. 5 minutes of his time is not going to get a judgment; maybe the $0.50 stamp/envelope will

Obamacare has nothing to do with the DMV; are you really this stupid?

In Michigan plates usually stay with the seller and first the seller fills out the title for sale, then the buyer, then the seller gets a copy made with everyone's info filled out. It's the buyers responsibility to transfer title and obtain plates which also requires insurance.

Still registered to you? Report the car as stolen. Next time they run the plate to write a parking ticket she will get pwned.

Then you get pwned for filing a false police report.

What are you on about? The seller can remove the plates and registration sticker if they choose in Texas. There is even a downloadable tag for you to print out if you buy the car on a day the DMV is closed and the seller has done such.

OP, take this as a lesson learned. Never sell a car with plates and if possible accompany the buyer to get the car registered in their name.

I suppose...stupid me for thinking I could just follow the instructions on the DMV web site. Guess I should go buy a big book of forever stamps.

Yep, that's the problem. Do you have her address?

 

[bignateyk]

Shred the bill of sale and report the car stolen. That'll teach the bitch a lesson.

No they don't...When I got rid of my last car last December, the dealer (Lute Riley Honda in Dallas) took the plates off the car and gave them to me...

Are you really that stupid and cannot figure out what he means??? If you know your friend is a really bad with money, would you loan him $1000?

 

[jayzds]

You should be able to mark it as sold and your name should be removed as the owner.
Here is Arizona you can do that if you sell the vehicle and leave the plates.

It absolutely would get laughed out of court but it will do two things. It will get her attention. Second, the judge will likely yell at the moron after yelling at him for taking up his court time.

Either way, I bet it gets resolved. All for a small filing fee.

If I had signed documents proving I did, in fact, loan him $1000, yes I would. Because he can forget all he wants, the fact that he signed an agreement to repay doesn't negate that. Is having a really bad memory a valid excuse for forgetting to pay your rent for the month? I'm sure the landlord will understand. "Oh, you have a really bad memory. It's okay, don't worry about the month you forget. It's okay!"

I can see that your decision to get off your meds on your own has clearly given you newfound wisdom.

Bwahahahaha.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Report the plates as stolen.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Are the tickets themselves in your name? If yes you're kinda screwed and you'll have to keep persuing it. If they're not in your name I would just drop them off in the person's mailbox. (going to assume you got their address as part of the transaction process)

Most normal people would just say no...

Why would you even post this as a possible option? Would you really go through all that trouble for money you will probably never get? Just because he signed some papers doesn't guarantee he will pay you back...

That would be filing a false police report.

I did this with a friend. I had to fight tooth and nail to get the money back (and I did some of the work), but I got it.

Also I sold another friend a laptop, not knowing he was bad with money. Got shafted $300 in the end. Cheap lesson all things considered.

But now I leant one $500 just recently. I'm not too concerned if she pays me back though, we've been friends for 10 years and I'd just see it as helping a friend in the time of need.
