Truth right here, find a way to get a settlement.
It's true. I had a flatbed registered in my business name that was sold to a guy who never put it in his name and I recieved a $4 toll violation in the mail from Orange County. I called and explained I didn't own the trailer and they didn't care. She suggested I just send in the $4 to clear it up. I refused on principal. Got a second notice a few months later for $4 toll and $400 penalty. Called and got someone helpful on the phone that was able to tell me the license plate of the tow vehicle, which was not registered to me. She was able to excuse the whole thing. I got nother toll violation in the mail a few months later. This time I just paid the $4 to make it go away. Eventually I'll run into the buyer of this trailer and we'll have a chat.
This type of crap drives me crazy..yet a scumbag can rob,rape and pillage and be out on bail in a few hours….and possibly no charges.
if it jumps from $4 to $400 for non-payment, that's about 100 trips through the toll lanes. I do that in 3 months :dunno: I understand the part about not knowing though, you'd have to be completely cluless
This is why it is important to fill out the Release of Liability and send it to the DMV or AAA when you sell a vehicle/trailer. It prevents this problem.
ROL means exactly DIK in this state... I have done it every time and still get those BS notices. I once had Homeland show up on my door step about a car I sold, then got traded in afterwards by the buyer. Apparently it went to auction and was then used for a Coyote's runs. They didn't give 2 shits about that paperwork or that I had filled it out online and dropped a hard copy off @ the DMV. I think that ROL box in the front gets dumped in the garbage each day instead of being processed.
I do that every time. Mailing it to the DMV is pointless, I've had good luck walking it I to AAA so that's the only way I do it now. I also make a copy and file it in my DMV folder.
I do the same thing AND fill out the one online and staple them together with the exact same info. Other than going to the DMV with the new buyer and witnessing it get taken out of your name there is nothing more you can do.
