Ok,



so i work as a mechanic, we got a car in and it was wrecked badly, about $3k worth of work.



People didnt want to put that much work into it, plus they were moving to florida. SO they gave me the title to the car, and basically gave me the car.



So i went to fill out the title today and i fucked it up, basically now the title is no good, cant use it to register the car now.



Does anyone know anyway to get another title reissued? This lady whos name i son the title moved to florida and i have no contact with her.



Im ******* pissed off because now i basically threw a car away that i put work and money into to get back on the road.

Go to the DMV.

DMV, but it costs money to get the new title.

i went there. they told me i either have to wait 6 months for some bullcrap "inadequate evidence" thingo, or mail the lady a form (even after i told them i have no idea where she is).



i need the car asap, i wanted to get it regged and insured today so my g/f has something to drive around in, but i fucked it up like the ******* that i am.



I am having the worst day of my life and it keeps going downhill.

I don't know if this will work, but run a carfax off the vin to see if you can locate this person. You can probably pick up a work number off there, old address.

well i have their old address, and ehr name bla bla bla. But i dont see how that could help me at all, im really pissed off at the moment.



how the **** does a title become void when i scratch out something I WROTE, and its not even important info it was just my name.



Seriously i think this rule should be changed, i just keep saying in my head "how the **** is a title void because i scribbled out some letters"



like, seirously HOW THE **** IS THAT POSSIBLE.

If they actually give you the form to mail to the former owner...I would just fill it out yourself and forge their name.



Sounds fucked up...but it worked for someone I know...and it was in NJ.

cant you temp permit it without changing title or whatnot?



canada law is different i know but just tossing the idea out there

ColinRX7

temp permit trip permit or whatever

never scribble on a legal document... draw a line through it.



Not much you can do, file the paperwork, wait the 6 months and quit stressin, ain't gonna do you any good.



If that's what makes the worst day in your life then I'd say things are going pretty well
