find a way to convince the courts of Michigan that I am not responsible for a car we sold nearly a year ago because the jack-ass who bought it never registered it... (read all 2 entries…)

Not worth it!

Complete Frustration  — 2 years ago

We have a signed title AND a bill of sale signed by the person who bought said car. However, neither of those items matter. Michigan changed the law and no longer has a way for the seller of a vehicle to avoid paying all liabilities on a sold vehicle if that vehicle is not registered by the buyer. Prior to November you could prove the sale with the above items (this being the law at the time we sold the vehicle) and you would not be liable for the damage, fees, storage, and towing of the vehicle.

Now where do we go? I just don’t know. We’ve been fighting with the police, towing company, and the Motor Vehicle people. They’re all pointing fingers at each other, but the police and courts claim there’s nothing they can do, the law changed and left no way for us to protect ourselves.
