What is the name of your state? California but I now live in North Carolina.
Here is my situation. In May of 2002 I sold a car to a salvage yard for $100.00 and signed over the pink slip. THREE YEARS after I sold the vehicle I get a collection notice in the mail for $957.00. Apperantly the vehicle was sold to someone else and never registared and was towed from a place that is 400 miles north of where I orginally sold the vehicle. It was towed in 2004. I have contacted the salvage yard and they will not deal with me and told me to have the collection agency contact them but they won't. I have been searching frantically for the bill of sale but have come up empty, maybe because of the move across the states. Now I have a blemish on my credit report that I had no idea about. what do I do next? Does the soldiers and sailors act protect us from scammers like the salvage yard?
