I bought a car from someone about 2 months ago and I am getting ready to fix and sell it. There is no bill of sale. I only know her first name, and the location where I had the tow truck guy pick it up (her boyfriend's parent's house).

She never registered the car: she bought it from a guy who signed the title over to her, she signed the title, but never registered it. I told her that she'd have to get it registered and send it to me - which she was totally cool with. In the past 2 months, I have tried endlessly calling her, leaving voice and text messages, trying to get this title. She answers me 1/5 times, and when she does she says that she got it in her name but is always busy and cannot meet me, and always says she can do it the next day, then won't answer for a week.

I've tried calling from other numbers, and either her or her boyfriend will answer and they just play dumb. I've even offered to pay the cost for her to title it but she doesn't respond.

What can I do? I'm thinking of driving to her boyfriend's parent's house and asking them for help. If that does not work, how would I go about titling this car?

Also, I found this website, www.reversewebdetective.com and will give the address of where the phone is listed at. The girl is 19 (and a meth addict I think) and I think the phone plan is with her parents. It's 14.95 to check, anyone use this service before?

Thanks,
Justin

 

she probably doesn't have the title...meth, when used in large amounts, makes people crazy...

 

tell her you'll give her extra money on top of the $ it takes to title it, and if she still balks at that, you know for sure she doesn't have the title

 

Well I did see the title - I held it in fact. But the title was signed by her and the guy she bought it from. She drove it for 6 months and didn't title it.

I thought she was on meth because her bf's parent's (where I got the car) lived in a rural area in the outskirts of Atlanta, she talked my ears off (I was trying to leave and she wouldn't stop talking), and she kept itching her face and neck.

 

You know I just thought of that. I might try texting her that tomorrow.

 

Check into getting a title for an abandoned vehicle. I think you can get that for about $50 in Georgia.

 

 

well i offered her 50 bucks, and no response.

 

I used to do PI work and would always start with sites like whitepages.com and anywho.com. If you get an address look into usps.com to see if it's valid. Further information you might have to pay for i.e. Lexis-Nexis etc.

 

tell her you got some good ish you can trade her for the title?
