This is exactly it. Unfortunately, lenders don’t review documents the moment you buy the car, and I can confirm my job has had to do “return/repurchase” transactions for customers when their lender said “mm, nah” days or weeks after the purchase.

If they try to bond the title, the state will reject it and the lender will step up efforts to fuck them over for trying to circumvent the process. Circle of sovcit life.

It’s true, but they do exist!

Something Awful has been around since the very early 2000s, and they charge $10 to get an account, and the same to reinstate a banned account. It’s actually pretty nice because the fee tends to keep all but the most dedicated trolls from doing anything particularly stupid. And yes, I know they created 4chan, but the main forums are trying to be better people over the years.

It’s not signed yet, so they haven’t paid for anything. The sales consultant believes they’re actually paying in ‘cash’ (which for these purposes could mean certified funds or a non-CarMax lender) and gave them the bill of sale to show them the amount needed.

It depends on the state, and whether he’s financing the veh- excuse me, ‘carrier’. Although I’m definitely sure that where I work, he would be politely told that he needs insurance, a valid license, and there’s no way he’s leaving with a TRP instead of license plates; he can’t transfer plates that are not recognized by the state, and he doesn’t live in another state that would let him leave with temp registration.

Finance companies are loath to turn down money, and as long as the sovcit presents at least some proof of income a lot of finance companies will accept them.

There’s one company I work with that requires a bunch of stipulations, but if they’re there, you can get accepted (with a ridiculous APR, of course).

Vehicle finance/repossessions and child support are also up there. This one is a vehicle finance company that I work with daily.

That’s really smart! I’ve never heard of a cat that could use a knob before.

How does he open doors? I’d love to hear more 🙂

I wonder if the VIN and other vehicle information is behind one of the blacked out lines. The length of the second one looks like it could be there.

That’s my thought too. Someone up thread mentioned that the VIN and vehicle info are missing, but he blacked out certain information so it could be behind that.

It’s close enough that a harried person trying to get through their day could glance at it, go ‘yeah, this looks right’, and do whatever.

Looking at it, it’s so close that I would have believed it, and I see these all the time. I’ve never seen one saying they were sending the title to have the lien removed, but in the state I live in they send it to you and you have to take it in to have the lien removed. If this is a fake it’s actually decent.

That’s incredible. I’ve seen sov cits send letters to my management about the contacts, and had people try to keep from registering their vehicles to “stay private”. It never works, and it ends with their vehicles being repossessed because the lender says “you’re a moron” and takes it back.

Without a driver’s license no reputable dealer will sell to you. If you don’t intend to register, forget getting any kind of financing. Financial institutions require you to title the vehicle and (in most states) they keep that title until you pay it off. If you don’t register the vehicle chance is you didn’t title it either. I work with the finance institutions that partner with my dealership daily on stuff like that.

God, these people make me laugh as much as they make me depressed.

Care for some popcorn?

Chase is particularly hard-assed about payments, and I’m speaking from experience paying off cars for customers who are financing through them. It will be a delightful shit show for this guy.

But not usually the amount the person owes, which is why they’d rather keep you paying than have the car repossessed.

Oh, bless. Chase is one of the companies that will happily let this person have enough rope and then pull the trap door lever.

But he’s not arguing! He doesn’t answer questions because he’s private and thus travelling, which isn’t driving, and thus he doesn’t need to answer the questions, thereby in accordance with UCC 101.69-LOL… /S

What the actual fuck. He told a small child searching for a lost pet that if she rang his doorbell again he “might pull her hair”? What kind of crazy fucktrumpet do you have to be to not only threaten a SIX YEAR OLD with a gun but also threaten to pull her hair like a schoolyard bully?!? What is WRONG with this guy?
