Need help with used car lot and getting title/lic. plate

[mustangguy289]

I bought a truck from a licsensed used car dealer in Arlington on July 26, 2011. I took the loan through PenFed, paid for the vehicle, signed papers, and got temporary tag. It is now 9/20/11 and my temporary tags expire today. Penfed is threatening to up my interest from 2.49 to the interest for a non-collateral loan which is 8.99% or higher ( the letter said would be max rate) if the title is not received.

I have called them a few times and keep getting the run around. Starting today I will be calling the manager everyday until I get what I need.

What else can I do? Anybody ever have this issue?

The truck has been great except for one minor issue with the rear brake disc and they fixed it immediately for free. Yesterday my wife found a few complaints about the company on the BBB.

The company is Leach Investments LLP. I would not recommend them to anyone. They are very unprofessional.

Tell them you are calling the attorney generals office to file a complaint of unethical business practices. If that doesn't work, time to call a lawyer.

Does threatening the first really do anything?

Maybe you can call whatever part of the state govt issues dealer licenses and file a complaint. I would assume they have rules as to how long they have to pay the taxes and get the title issued.

Please remember to always check companies out with the BBB.

It did in the one instance I had a issue with this. They will shut down a business in a hurry.

I found that number of the Txdot page. I will be calling at lunch.

Just pulled an auto check and the last event was on 7/21/11 when they did the inspection before I purchased it. Still list it as a 1 owner vehicle. I do not think any steps have been performe to re-title the vehicle.

These issues are best handled in person if possible.

Grow a pair of balls and go down there instead of calling. If they don't have the title inform them you are free to accompany them to the title office(which is practically across the street) immediately. Have you not noticed yet that passive aggression gets you no where?

At what point would you recommend he starts jumping on car hoods?

The owner is out of town until Thursday. Going there today would do nothing. Once the owner is back I will go up there. Hoping to resolve the issue without using my own time unless needed.

Around te time his interest rates triples due to their incompetence.

How many calls have you made? Sounds like you've used up plenty of your own time already.

If you aren't going to go down there then start calling them every hour on the hour until they get you a fucking title. Call the owner's house. Call the manager's house. Just keep calling no matter what. When their wives get sick of your shit, the title will magically appear in your hands.

That is sort of how I got my SVO repaired after All State tried to fingerblast me on the deal. I don't think they expected my level of commitment!
