They sold me a car with a bad title and then disappeared

Erika305 started this conversation
I don't know if anyone can help with this. I've tried everything already and I have all but given up. See, last semester I bought a car from a man I met online. He introduced himself as the title holder and sold me the car as is. The problem is, when I went to register the car, the title was not the most recent one. When I called him back to complain he came and brought me a temporary tag for my car and said he would contact the REAL owner and get the updated tag for me. He never did.

I was driving around with the temp tag, the police pulled me over and had their guns drawn because the SELLERS had reported the tag stolen. Now I have a car and no title or no tag. I contacted original owner listed on the title and she refuses to help me by giving me a new title saying, "I am tired of this. I sold that car, the man resold it twice. I am not giving away my information to a stranger! Stop calling me!"

Everyone gets away. I get no car and I'm on the bus.

I called the police. They didnt even come. I filed a police report as soon as I realized I had the wrong title, nothing happened. Unless the original owner decides to help me by giving me permission to get the new title I cant do anything but junk the car. Its an old car 2000 Chevy but it was all I had.

I tried having my friends call the lady because the lady doesnt speak English but the lady is so upset and won't accept anymore phone calls.

I wish I didn't have to go through handling important matters by myself but I don't have anyone to help me. I'm alone in this journey.

Hello
I am sorry, I wish I could help you. It is hard when you are alone dealing with major issues.
Give her time and try to reach her again.
Maybe getting someone who speaks her language might help and get her to give you the title. What a pain. I don't like facing things alone either. Sometimes we have too.
Wishing you better times.
