What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I bought a motorcycle off Craigslist over a year ago now. I live in Shrewsbury Pa. Southern York County. The woman I bought it from signed the title on the wrong line after she insisted on going to her bank to have it notarized for free instead of going with us to AAA to transfer it over, where it would have cost $15. When I went to get the title changed over they recognized her error and told me I had to have her get a new title and sign it on the proper line. That was a little over 3 months ago now. Every single time we text her to see if she has gotten the new title yet she says she has been very busy and hasnt had time. Now I am out $1,000 for a motorcycle I technically dont even own yet and cant even get tags on, and it is sitting out in front of my house depreciating in value while she is playing games with the title! I am curious if there are any protections under the law concerning this issue and can I take her to small claims court to get my money back? What should I do?
