Ok here is the situation I'm in right now. I bought a wrecked vehicle from a dealership with a Certificate of Destruction from the state of Florida. I understand all that is implied with that kind of title and that it needs to be inspected. I live in the state of Ohio and it is legal to get it inspected and get a self assembled title issued to the car so it can be driven around on the street. So I fixed the car up and set up an appointment at the local state highway patrol office only to find out when I get there that they wont inspect it. Reason being the company did not put the title in my name. The car was not registered in the Companies name from the get go, there for they did not sign it over to me. I called them and told them what happened and they told me to give them the title. So I did about 6 to 7 months ago. Every time I call them (3 or 4 times a week) they continue to tell me they are working on it. Nothing has been done and all I get from them is lies. What should I do???

Definitely... go see a lawyer now. Even if you don't sue, if they hear word from your lawyer, it may speed up the process.

There's a gypsy curse that says: "Get into a trail, a lawsuit, and win it".
I think you'll be loosing your money and time.
And there are some questions I make to myself.
Are you sure you bought a car? Or a piece of scrap iron, a piece of junk ? If the vehicle had a "Certificate of Destruction", doesn't that mean that what you bought had been a vehicle, but its not more one?
I suppose that if you get a "Certificate of Destruction", the title from the vehicle is destructed too.
Besides, you say you gave them the title you had, so what prove do you have to sue?
I don't think you will ever be able to get that car driven around on the street.
So, use it to play with it. Drive it at the countryside, or at some beach, or at some race track, perhaps as an stock-car. Or sell it, as a hole, or by pieces.
But don't sue, it will be useless. The next time, check titles are OK. Luck.

i'd contact an lawyer and characteristic them call the broking. i imagine you're going to take heed to from them somewhat immediately and get your vehicle decrease back. the historic "You simplest qualify for a larger activity and we provided your vehicle so that you does no longer have a decision" trick is used throughout. do not ever take the vehicle till the deal is healthier. in the journey that they did only promote your vehicle, they'd might want to provide the cost of the vehicle back. now no longer what they agreed to provide you for commerce in notwithstanding the certain life like marketplace fee which will might want to be a lot more suitable. yet you elect some approved help in the different case they're going to easily walk over you thinking you're stuck in a demanding position and so as that they imagine they have the better hand.

You may have a legitimate case to sue for fraud. You should seek the advice of a lawyer in your area.

Report this to your State attorney General. Heck report it to their State attorney general too. It is fraud. You should sue to get your money back and sue for damages too.

Take your bill of sale and file for a "lost title" try that avenue if you haven't already.
