My boyfriend's landlord offered to serve as a protective lienholder on my b/f's vehicles. At the time, my b/f was battling massive errors on his childsupport acct & he was worried they may try to seize his property. I warned him to have the liens removed once the problems were finally resolved. But he never pressed the issue with the LL. Then a pipe broke due to the LL's negligence & caused 30K worth of damage to my b/f's property. The LL was supposed to reimburse my b/f out of a settlement. The LL botched his case with insurance somehow & now he claims since he didn't get paid my b/f doesn't get paid. My b/f a few months ago told his LL he was going to begin making his rent payment to an escrow acct. pending resolution of the flood matter. The LL tried to steamroll my b/f for rent & even threatened to have some thug do bodily harm to me & my b/f. Then all was quiet for a few weeks. The time to register the vehicles came due even tho the reg renewal on 1 vehicle had not even arrived. We went down to DMV yesterday only to be told there was a "courtesy stop" placed on the reg. of both cars. DMV admits LL didnt have to provide any proof of legal right to pursue this action but that nothing can be done til end of the month. Now we must incur the expenxe of renting a car til then. Furthermore, it is now obvious the LL withheld mail addressed to my b/f (all 5 tenants & LL's mail go to a comunal addy. Then LL distributes it). AND my b/f also said mail that involved his financial affairs & was readily identifiable as being financial in nature looked like it had been opened when he received it from LL. Is this a chargable case of mail tampering?
How can this happen when the LL has no documented proof of any debt owed on the vehicles or otherwise. How is it this can happen without any sort of notification of the reg'd owners. All other lien actions req. court hearing with proper notice served & both parties having an opportunity to appear in court. How can we resolve this matter & forcibly remove the LL's bogus lien? The term "courtesy stop" doesnt seem very courteous to me when such a BS action can occur without proper due process or the necessity to provide proof of legal right to invoke the stop.
HEEEEEEEELP
Thanx
