I have been getting no where as to receiving my title and now they want more money.How can I sue them to have the courts deem me to be the owner?
A:
You have the right to seek legal recourse if you believe a company has not fulfilled its obligation to provide you with a vehicle title. Consider gathering all pertinent documents, including sales contracts and any correspondence with the company, as evidence of your ownership claim and the company's failure to deliver the title. You may file a claim in small claims court if the amount in question falls within the court's monetary limits. If the amount exceeds those limits, or if the case is complex, you may need to file in a higher court.
If the business has been sold, the new owner may have assumed liability for the previous owner's obligations, depending on the terms of the sale. Seeking legal advice from an attorney can provide you with tailored strategies to address your specific situation and help determine the best course of action, which may include filing a lawsuit to have the court recognize your ownership and compel the delivery of the title.
