My response:

If the Title of the "vehicle" was signed over to you, what are you worried about? It's yours. Just show your evidence of ownership to the judge. Case closed.

Is there something more to this story you're not saying?

The thing that I am worried about is, Atv's do not have titles. They have a certificate of origin. The certificate is given by the dealership only. I spoke to a salesman he said that if someone signes the back it's null in void.

From the NJ Motor Vehicle Division:

You need a notorized letter from the seller. He never gave me that. At the time I didn't know that. Do you think he will win because of that?

No one on this forum, especially since we are removed from the issue, can 'tell the future' to see what he might say, what you might say, or how the court might rule.

I didn't ask for sarcasm. I just wanted a little help.

Excuse me for my temporary lack of civility and sympathy. Please let me try again....

"Do you think he will win because of that?"
*** What a stupid ass question to ask. We have no idea what claims he might make. We also have no idea what inane and ridiculous response you might make to his claim(s). Hell, we don't even know if the court will give more credibility to him than to you. And because of that, there is no way that ANYONE can answer your overly vague idiotic inane 'fortune telling' question.

Damn, your right.... I do feel better.
