What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I had a verbal agreement with a guy to fix my truck, he towed it out of my property to his friends shop. I was only able to give him partial payment as I lost my phone and contacts. I drove by the shop several times but was never able to reach him. I have no other means of getting in contact with him, however he had previously showed up at my house when I was unable to answer my phone. Stated he was worried as I am a single mom of 3. I am confused as to why he had not reached out to me after the truck was taken. it has been almost 8 months now. he has yet to do anything to the truck. I did receive a letter from the dmv for a notice of pending sale. I have called several times and left my info so that the mechanic can call me back. The shop will not give me any info on how to reach him. I asked how can I go about picking up my truck and they have given me different quotes on according to them storage fees. when I stated I am willing to pay but that they need to deduct what I have already given the mechanic they state they do not know anything and that I have to wait for his phone call back. the dmv paperwork states the lien will be held in a week. and the primary interested party is the mechanic. go figure. How can I handle this
