In Nov 2004, just before leaving home for military service, my son sold his car. The title of the car was in both he and his father's names. They, and the buyer, all signed a Bill of Sale, and signed over the vehicle title to the new owner. We also mailed the Notice of Vehicle Sale to DMV. In August 2005 we received notice from a collection agency regarding a towing bill. I phoned the collection agency and was told that the car had been towed from a city street. I told them that we no longer owned the car, and faxed over a copy of the Bill of Sale. Three days ago my son was served with a summons naming he and his father for a Small Claims Court case brought by the collection agency. We checked with DMV and found that the buyer did not register the car, and that DMV did not receive our sale notice.
Should we deny the charges and go to court with our Bill of Sale, or pay the amount requested. This has never shown up on either our or our son's credit report and I am willing to pay to keep it that way. Thank you for any advice.
