Hi everyone,
My uncle received a DUI in 2005. He was advised to transfer his vehicles into someone else's name until everything cleared (I don't know why). Long story short, he transferred the title to someone that was living with him at the time. He thought he could trust him. When my uncle tried to put the car back into his name, a lien had been placed on the title for unpaid child support, which his "friend" hasn't paid for years. A Federal Marshal came looking for him and told my uncle he would get his title back. He just wants the vehicle out of his garage and said that I may have it if I wish.
The car is only worth a couple thousand dollars, if that. I have tried contacting the person that the car is now registered in with no luck. He has been on the run for several years and has a warrant out for his arrest. He could be dead for all I know!
I have been trying to get this title cleared for the past few years now, and can't seem to find a solution. I contacted the child support agency and they said that he would need to call them to negotiate a price to take the lien off. First of all, I can't contact him and second, he owe's around $50,000, and I'm guessing they would want more than what the car is even worth, but they wouldn't tell me anything.
Another question I have is why hasn't the state just repo'd the car? It has been sitting in the same spot since November of 2005 when the title was transferred.
ANY help would be appreciated, because I have just been running around in circles for the past few years trying to title this vehicle.
Thank you!
