Thumbs down Should I help this guy? kind a longggg

Traded Fxxd Truck for Volare. Guy never registered truck. Turns out he had expired D/L. Truck was impounded. He asked me to go to court and tell them it is my truck so he can get it back. Towing co says they will bill me for charges cause title is in my name.
My stance is; I am not going to lie in court and claim the truck is mine!
I don't care what the Tow co does with the truck because it is not mine now because I signed the title releasing my responsibility.
This is a nice Kid, but, maybe he has not learned his lesson yet cause this is his second ticket for a suspended license. It will cost him $1500.00 to get the truck back cause the court has a 30 day hold on it for $39 a day.
I would like to help, but, I will not do anything illegal by lying to a Judge.

I say 'not my problem',

what say you guys...??

I say absolutely not. You dont want to put yourself in that position. Like you said, you signed over the title,the truck is his, not yours and its not your problem. Hes got to learn his lessons, you should let him.

Default Did you

Did you fill out a release of liability? If not and he hasn't registered it in his name they will ding you with the lien papers of the vehicle and it will go on your credit. As part of the lien they have to contact the registered owner for an attempt to get their money, and you to get your property back, as it is shown by their records. This could wind up being a big mess for you to.

I spoke with the local police..they told me NOT to claim the vehicle because it would be a lie..If they go after my credit I can fight that because the Police Report has him saying "I just bought it".

You are NOT responsible for it once you signed the truck over to him. However, they still have you as being 'the current owner on record', so it is possible that you will get papers served to you about it. IF that does happen, use the police report (you can get a copy as you are involved in this matter) to prove that it was sold and nolonger your property. Do not lie for him, no matter how much he cries around or begs you to do so.

This is one reason that most states require the purchaser to have the vehicles titled in their name within 10 days of purchase. It keeps the good guys GOOD.

I had Caddy when I lived in TN some years back....sold it to a guy who worked for a salvage yard. He put license plates on it from some of the junked cars and never put it into his name....I got a paper saying that the car was inpounded (they thought it was still my car as it was on record) and that I would be charged $40 a day until I got it. He had been caught driving drunk....so they took the car. He wanted me to get it back for him and I did not do it. HE could not get the car as he had not put it into his name. This might be the reason that this kid wants you to lie for him, as they will not let him have it.

Default Open Title???

Chances are the truck still has an open title; seller signed, but no buyers name on the title. They will take any vehicles that have open titles, as it is against the law in most states now.

Gripe Update

Well since the State was not notified of the sale I have to go to Court and tell the Judge what happened and hope he releases me of responsibility.
Costing me $50.00 to see the Judge, but, if the towing co doesn't get enough out of the truck, I am liable for the difference.
I have the Police Report showing him in driving the truck whenit was impounded. I also have a witness when we signed Titles.

I can either try to sell the truck (now I have no title) or pay the difference after they sell it.
As soon as I found out about the report of sale I filed one...too late for this one though, so I don't know if I can even file for a lost title now!
I guess I am just too trusting, stupid, ignorant & naive.

You know if you right click any of those in Microsoft Word, you'll get even more synonyms!

Actually, you did most of this right except not turning in the release of liability.

By posting here, you are reminding us what could happen if we forget that too. So, thanks.

Just got back from Court.
Judge says it is my responsibility to pay the Tow and Storage.
I set the wheels in motion to get the Title back so I can re-sell it and get some of my money back.
$1500.00 will have to be paid.

Default Believe it!!!

They do not swear on a bible in Court anymore either.

The State has no way to know I signed the Title cause the Kid didn't do his part.

I know this is a shoulda, woulda, coulda statement, but anytime you sell a vehicle to a private party, get a copy of the signed title (signed by you) and a copy of the bill of sale (with both signatures). The bill of sale could even be a written note (better if notarized) stating that you sold the truck to private party for blank $$$. Both parties sign. It sucks that they got you for the impound fees, but at least you have the opportunity to re-coup some of your losses by reselling the truck. Just think what could've happened if he would have totaled it.

Thanks Doc !! You reminded me it can always be worse.
The repair shop is going to help me sell the truck since they are on a main road it will be easy.
When all is said and done I am going to buy a Pizza Lunch for his whole crew to thank them for being honest and helping me get the Title back from that flake.

I wouldn't get it back for him if it involves telling a lie in court.
