So this problem is actually an interstate problem. We purchased a vehicle in Utah, paid for it with a check from our bank. Did all paperwork correctly, and then transferred that title into our name in idaho and registered the vehicle with no problems. Got a 2 year registration. Paid off the car in 1.5 years. Now when we are trying to renew our registration and idaho won't let us because the idaho registration was canceled 2 months after we purchased the vehicle. Come to find out the previous owner somehow got Utah to issue him a new Utah title in his name. So now the car we own it titled in his name. He then proceeded to secure a loan against that title.
Seems like fraud plain as day. We still have all paperwork. Even the check stub.
how can we get the title back in our name and shouldn't this guy be in trouble for fraud on multiple levels. Unfortunately since we paid off the loan before discovering the problem the bank has no skin in the game.
