No tags for 5 monthe

[patrick685]

On Feb 22, 2015 My Dad and I went to a Local dealership in town to purchase a vehicle. We found a car to my liking a 2014 Jeep Patriot . We put 1000 down had the remaining balance finance thru a finance company. Got the car insured drove off the same day. One monthe later we get a phone call stating we need to take the car to a local State police station to get a VIN inspection to my suprise I ask why. This isn't normal so we take the car to the station had it inspected took the paperwork to the dealership. No promblems . So Then we notice the temp tags we about to expire. Call the l dealership explain it was getting close to the expiration ask what's going on with the hard tags. Oh it the DMV they're a little slow the tags wil be in before the paper tags expire. Ok the paper tags expired . Call Dealership again , ask what's going on with the hard tags ? Oh you all need to come in and re-do some paperwork. THe car we sold you was sold to someone else but the person backout of the deal . THey never tool ownership of the car but we just need you to come in and re-do the paperwork. It is now June 19,2015 we still have not gotten the hard tags to this vehicle . My question is can we sue ? I ned some legal advice on how to handle this . They gave us another set of 60 day paper tags. What are we suppose to do?

You should consult an attorney of your choosing, tell him or her your story, show him or her ALL of your paperwork; see what the attorney advises.

You could also visit the DMV and ask what options in Louisiana are available for a person in your predicament.

The Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission is the state governmental regulatory authority that licenses the used motor vehicle industry and investigates consumer complaints involving the sale of used motor vehicles.

Maybe, The Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission can help you:

Yep, file a complaint with the MVC. There are sometimes situations with a used car title transfer that can take a while to resolve, but 4 months is pretty far outside that bubble. You can try to give the vehicle back to them, demand that your $1000 be returned and your finance contract be voided. You are still legal to drive with the temporary tag. Eventually if they do not resolve this, the finance company will demand they buy back the contract because they do not have title. You could also converse with them on the matter.
