In May we bought a car from someone we knew and paid cash. We told her to just give us the title when she got it. By September, we wanted to sell the car but we still didn't have the title. We called her and she didn't respond to messages. When we did get in touch with her she told us that her credit union that she had her car loan through needed our proof of insurance. The credit union told me that there was no reason they would need our insurance and to tell her to call them. I left 9 more phone messages without a response before I told her that I would call a lawyer if she didn't call back. In January she called back and told me that the credit union would send her a form to fill out to release the title. She said that the credit union charged her for not having insurance on the car before we bought it which she did. In March I still didn't have the title and called her credit union. They told me she had just paid off the loan. The reason we wanted to sell the car was because it got bad gas mileage and we moved out to the mountains where we were going to have to drive a lot and we needed something that could be driven in the snow which this car couldn't. I would like to take her to small claims court for extra money we had to spend on gas, studded tires we had to buy to even get out of our driveway during the winter and pain and suffering due to stress over this. If what she says is true, and the credit union did charge her for insurance when she had it, I feel it should have been resolved months ago. Would we have a case against her?
