Sold my truck and buyer is trying to stop payment

[htmedic]

Tell the guy you will take the truck back in the same condition in which is was sold, running. You didn't blow up the engine, he did.

Thank you I would gladly take the truck back if it were in the condition it was when the buyer took it. It was a nice looking good running truck.

Thank You I would gladly take the truck back if it were still in the condition of which it was sold which yes was running it was a very nice looking and good running truck.

There is no way you could have legally conveyed this vehicle in a title transfer to the buyer who blew the engine.

You were committing tax fraud.

Don't sit on titles and flip vehicles

BTW the buyer was a dummy to not notice this was not your title, but it is still your fraud.

Yes and since joining this forum I am now aware that I broke the law.. I didn't intentionally break the law I had no clue it was illegal I assumed it would make it easier on the buyer instead of waiting for me to get the title then signing it over to him and him sending it back in. I am not claiming not to owe anything in fact I would gladly pay the title and tag fees. I just don't find it justifiable that I am responsible for taking the truck back when the buyer blew up the engine and I lose everything. I am a good honest person who sincerely thought I was doing no harm and I am willing to take care of the tag and title. I will however know from this moment on to put all vehicle I buy in my name immediately.

Wow.. Don't know why it posted the one thread twice. However, I am very thankful for all of your responses to my question as this has been stressing me out so badly since Saturday. I feel like a major criminal. ..... I have one more question what are the odds of me being able to just pay for the title issues beings I have a bill of sale from when I bought the truck?? And if I were able to settle the title issues is the rest history due to the fact that I have an as is signed bill of sale from the buyer that blew up my truck?? Or is there a severe worse case senario??? I ask simply because my drama would unfold over a holiday were I am unable to contact an attorney until Wednesday

P.S.

Really appreciate everyones help and honest opinions you guys have been great and I am o so thankful I recieved a response as I was stressing to the point of tears over this issue. Now I am just stressing Thanks everyone for your assistance

first, just chill. As you said, it was not intentional. Life happens. I doubt anything will come of this other than the possibility of late title transfer fees, the required taxes, and little else. It's not like they are hunting down somebody that ignorantly made such a mistake so they can send them to prison.


The big question is; what do you want to do to resolve the buyers issue? If nothing, attempting to title the vehicle now would be a problem for you, especially since you don't have the title any longer.

I doubt the buyer even knows WHY he has a claim against you.

Did the check go through. ??

Well the buyers angry calls of blowing up the truck stopped and the check did clear. I spoke with a friend that is an attorney an she agrees that the guy propably wouldn't know if he had a case. However, she did advise me to sit on the money for a spell and see what happens. She said if he wants to blame the truck blowing up on me then he must take it to a certified diesel mechanic and have it looked at at his expense. Then he must prove that I had something to do with it blowing up. So I do believe I'm in the clear thank god. I did tell the attorney should the buyer want me to pay for the title and tag then I would beings that was my fault. She said as long as he is able to go ahead and transfer the title then I should be fine on that as well as the title was already signed and notorized. She did however inform me that I am to never do this sort of thing again. So now I am playing the waiting game. What would you think a good amount of wait time would be???

Just so you know, Justalayman is correct. The cashiers' check cannot be stopped in this case. There are very very few instances when a cashiers' check can be stopped and this is not one of them.

Take back your truck otherwise you can warn to him that I will go in court for getting my payment. Hope you will do it to ask for going court and you can also take some advice from your personal lawyer.
