What is the name of your state (washington state)?
I'm being sued for a car that I sold 7 months ago to an individual. I got the car at an abandoned vehicle auction held at a towing company. You get an affidavit of sale from the auction to transfer ownership. I sold the car to the plaintiff using the affidavit and a bill of sale, in which I explained I have the affidavit from an auction and not the actual title before he decided to purchase the car. He explained that he fully knew about affidavits because he frequents auctions himself. This is no clueless person, told me that he is a bounty hunter and went on and on about auctions etc. told him if he has any problems feel free to get a hold of me and I'll be more than happy to clear it up. 7 months later he is suing me for the price of the car, claiming that I never provided the title to him He went as far as making a false claims in his statement saying that I told him that I just purchased the car and I'm waiting for the title in the mail, which is completely untrue. said I never called him, and that I was unavailable and unwilling to clear up the issue with him. I never once received a call from him after selling the car to him.
can he sue me 7 months later after he has done god knows what to the car and win??
however the fact that he lied in his statement making stuff up obviously just tells me that he is trying to pull a fast one on me.
can I counterclaim for: loss of wages, emotional distress, costs and time for preparing for this bogus lawsuit?
