Stephen:

You may not remember me but i am Sam's Father. I was there with Ben in May when we came to look at the Camaro and when we purchased and loaded it up to bring it to Iowa. I have been following the discussions you have been having with Ben and Sam concerning the title for the Camaro.

I feel that your actions, or lack there of, have been totally unacceptable in this matter. Federal Law requires you to license and title a repossessed car within 12 months, and yet you failt to do that. Secondly, whenever you sell a car, you are required in all 50 states to provide a valid title for that car when you sell it..

And i will also mention that i have the bill of sale which you signed and sent it to same. On the bill of sale, you state that you will deliver said title to Sam free of all encumbrances etc. That means it must be in your name first.

I feel you have failed in both of those matters. This situation has placed Sam and Ben in a precarious situation with the bank we deal with.

Here is the way i require the situation to proceed. You must make a journey to South Carolina to register the title in your name. Then you will transfer title of the car to yourself in Virginia. After that, you will sign the title over to Samuel XXXXX. And then you will send all pertinent information to me, Mark XXXX at XXXX Mason City, Iowa 50401.

In case you are wondering. I have copies of all the paperwork that you have in your hand, as does my bank. I will allow 30 days for this matter to be resolved. At that time, if we have not received a valid title for the car. I will ask the bank to take the steps it needs to take to protect its investment and i will contact the proper authorities to move on this issue. I believe a car that is sold without proper title is considered a stolen vehicle by most law enforcement and i fully intend to report it as such.

That being said, if you do take the steps necessary to get us the proper title, provide me with your expense receipts and i will willingly help you with those costs so that does not become too much of a burden to you. But i will do that only after i have the title to the Car.

I regret that i have to take this stance, but we did in good faith buy the car from you and you in no way indicated there was any problem with the title, or for that matter, that you had never titled the car in your name. It has been over seven months since we picked up the car . Please work with me so we can get this situation resolved.
