I could use some assistance.i sold a car to a Honda dealership 5 yrs ago Last month I received a parking ticket violation for it. I submitted to the court a bill of sale to Honda and the title. The license plate was not mine The hearing officer still found me guilty Broward Florida The ticket is 91 dollars Any help would be appreciated
sue the dealership for rental car rates per month and use the judgers ruling to prove you are the owner of the car they illegally used and sold.
Coward County strikes again.
Thnx great idea
With the ticket I got a lien threat notice from the towing company
Faxed them paperwork and they released the lien threat right away
So the tow yard has it I guess
Tne appeal ends 12/20 I will pay it if I lose definitely
“sue the dealership for rental car rates per month and use the judgers ruling to prove you are the owner of the car they illegally used and sold.”
Illegally? They have his sig on the bill of sale!
I would go to the dealer and demand they either fix the problem or return the car free. Talk to the owner of the dealership.
“I would go to the dealer and demand they either fix the problem or return the car free. “
What is the problem?
“What is the problem?”
That they didn’t transfer the title out of his name when he sold it.
“That they didn’t transfer the title out of his name when he sold it.”
How do you know that?
PD ran the VIN and it came up that the OP still owned the car because the dealer never transferred the title.
Do you really think they ran the VIN and just decided to send the ticket to some random previous owner 2 or three back?
It’s not like the OP said he owned a motorcycle or something.
You might want to call the hearing officer’s supervisor, relay the info to him, and ask if all the hearing officers are as ignorant and stupid as the one you got; and, if the supervisor doesn’t fix his problem, you would be going to the local government public comment time and let them know how ignorant and stupid he is.
“PD ran the VIN and it came up that the OP still owned the car because the dealer never transferred the title.”
Where did you read that?
Thnx I am starting 8 am Monday
“91 dollars.”
Just pay it. I was unfairly ticketed with a $120 “street cleaning” tow-truck ticket in San Francisco, the home of the “City Council Robbers,” as the locals say. Just pay it.
“Paying the $91 would not end his troubles.”
Good point. I did not think of that. I guess not paying is the best option and returning the envelopes to the sender unopened.
I have till 12/20 if I can’t get it corrected I will pay it.
I have to address this car vin still in my name either way
But you are right I will pay it
In Texas we have the opportunity to notify the state we no longer own a vehicle. So even if a dealer doesn’t transfer the title, the state has proof you are not liable. Also, the seller can pull the plates as an extra safety measure.
Just throwing this out there.
I traded in a Pontiac one time. I continued to receive license renewal notices for the next two years. I ignored them. I guess the dealer never resold that mini van.
“In Texas we have the opportunity to notify the state we no longer own a vehicle. So even if a dealer doesn’t transfer the title, the state has proof you are not liable. Also, the seller can pull the plates as an extra safety measure.”
Good suggestions but not legally required to remove liability. In Florida the plate stays with the seller.
You can turn it in or put on another car.
