Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

Well i sold my old motorcycle 6-29-08, and today i get a peice of paper saying it was towed and that I am the last registered owner, since the bike was a salvage bike i didnt have a title so i guess the nig i sold it to didnt turn in any of the papers to transfer ownership to him. So the peice of paper in the mail says i owe the towing company about a G. My question is this, since he never registered the bike, its still technically mine, so can I go and pay the fee to get it out and have the bike be mine again? I have a peice of paper stating that i sold the bike to him with his name signiture and date stating that I sold the bike. What should i do?

if it is worth a 1000 to get the bike back then get it back. if not dont pay call the towing company and explain that you sold it awhile ago

not that easy. if you didn't file a report of sale, technically you are responsible. however, if he didn't file for a title transfer... it's a gray area, and you can go get the bike back. you'll probably want to see if it's been laid down or not before you plunk down any money. tell them you want to see it... and if they won't let you, tell them you have personal property underneath the seat. it's law that they have to give you reasonable access to your vehilcle, even after the impound.

plus 10 on that^

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

Well it was a while back, but I believe i mailed in a report of sale and release of liability, but he didnt register it, therefore I am the last registered owner. Im gonna go check it out on monday, Think I have any chance of lowballing the towing co and getting it out for cheaper?

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

does he have a receipt like you have? If so...id be worried about him challenging you down the road for ownership

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

can't challenge ---- if he sells it again. >:D

I ran into a similar situ in WA. Parked my bike in "someone else's spot" at an apt. complex. It got towed and it was more to get it out than it cost ($200.00 bike). I told them "keep it". They said there fee was $500.00 bucks for the tow. I told them "I didn't call you for the tow, nor did I request that service, now kindly ---- your self." They said they would take action and blah blah blah. About 3 months later I get a letter saying they auctioned it off at the impound for $445.00 and I owed them $55.00. Once again I told them to ---- themselves with sharp objects. I signed a release of title agreement and told them to sue me for the remaining amount. About 9 months later, the ------- the sold it too got like 6 parking tickets from the Seattle One-tyme, and DMV send a letter saying there are "unpaid tickets, licence suspension, blah" I Go to the DMV and explain and they told me, to tell them, to shove large object into their ---- cavities. End of story.

yea and then two people have receipts from him for the same bike....

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

im hoping the nig I sold it to got arrested and that's why it was towed, he paid me in all 20s and drove a monte carlo on dubs, I'm gonna ask them what happened on Monday.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

hell, I'll pay for it and pick it up.



Couldn't hurt to call the sheriff station and see what they have to say about it. Any advice helps.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

you should go check it out and see if its fucked up, if not then pay the money. then keep the reciept and if he ever comes looking for it tell him he owes you that before you will give it back.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

pay to get it out of imnpound asap. if you dont, the price will go up and it the bill will be submitted to a collection agency.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

I hear many stolen bikes end up at the wrecking yard. check with the original owner to see if it was stolen...

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

---- it, let them come and try to get my money. I got 2 bucks in my bank account

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

Wat!?!



I thought you were a baller.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

Call the dmv or better yet go down and see who the registered owner is. If its in your name and you have ownership aka pinkslip its yours. Also if this dude knew it was towed and wanted it out he would be on top of it not letting mail get sent to you.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

real ballers dont leave paper trails ;)


Went to the DMV and they said statefarm ins co is the registered owner, so i don tknow whats up but ---- em

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

who do you even talk to about what to do? DMV doesn't usually know ----. Could the guy you sold it to have been insured and just not transferred the title?

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

I Talked to some fat black woman who typed up some bs in her computer. I am pretty sure she was incompetent, as most dmv employees are

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

ya..... not usually the place for good info. I have a cop friend I can give a call tomorrow if you want and see what he says about it.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

if you submited the release of liabilty and he didn't complete transfer, you will be labeled the registered owner with him being the lien/legal owner.

meaning you get it out, he holds true ownership and can come get it if he wants.

if you didn't submit release of liabilty, it's a different story. it's yours. just make sure you apply for a new title [say you lost the orignial, to make te original one he has invalid] and plates while you are at it. Salvage cars still get issued pink slips don't know why you didn't get one.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

Same thing happend to me.

Sold a car to a coworker
mailed out the release of liability form that same day
Coworker never registerd it
Sells it to a wetback
Car gets impounded
Tow yard sends me the bill (1200)
I tell them i dont own it
3 months Later i get a collection notice
Go to the dmv and get a printout stating that i released interest in the vehicle 3 days after i sold it. (cost me 5$)
I call the collection agency manager and told him i dont owe them ----.
They tried to scare me and threatened to sue and ---- up my credit.
I told them they would lose and i would countersue them for wasting my time.
I fax them the DMV printout, and a bill for 5$ for the cost of the DMV form.
I now called them 4-8 times a day in an attempt to collect the 5$ they owed me.
It was fun ------- with them. for a change.

So yeah go to the DMV and get that printout. and take them to court if you have to.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

That line is a ------- gem right there.

Re: Old motorcycle towed and form mailed to me?
 

me: "Hello sir, Goodmorning. My name is Albert Frias and Im calling on behalf of myself, this is an attempt to collect 5$ that you owe me"

them: click

oh man that was fun. i should have just let them take it to court, it would have been fun to see the look on their faces when i busted out the DMV printout.
