Paying the Price...Still
Months after the fact, after my lifeline and mobility was so
violently taken from me, after an Asian woman hit and totaled
my parked vehicle in the middle of the night back in March during
the Daylight-Saving time change, where the woman took out
3 vehicles that night, first mine, then the truck parked in front
of my vehicle and hers, I finally received a small settlement
from her insurance. I had been searching
endlessly for a replacement.
But the small sum did not afford much in terms of
replacing my vehicle and lifeline. And the challenges it
imposes on getting to the places to search for a replacement.
But I finally found what appeared to be a good deal on a
2005 Nissan Quest van.
But turns out, nothing good about it.
The guy who sold it to me was quite sketchy.
He LIED to me about absolutely everything
in regard to this vehicle. And I so wish I could turn
back the hands of time and not purchase
what turned out to be a Junker.
One of my deep weaknesses is trusting people,
being too trusting, which has caused a lot of
harm to me and in my life as a whole.
Being too honest and too trusting
have cost me enormously.
First off, the guy told me it was a clear and clean
title, it’s not, it is in LIEN status from previous
owners. FAILED SMOG across the board, as the
Check Engine light had been disconnected as had the
Fuel Gauge and Odometer, both blank, and
the Catalytic Converter, removed.
I didn’t know it was in LIEN until I went to the
DMV to get it transferred and registered in my
name. Then the DMV demanding that I owe them
all the back fees for someone else’s inactions.
Not only that, but they forced me to get the SMOG.
When I returned to the DMV showing the SMOG
Failed, they told me I had to repair it and get
another SMOG until it passed.
That will never happen.
When I took the van in to be inspected, found that the
wiring has to be redone, everything inside the van
and under the hood needs to be replaced and repaired.
I took it over to the Carwash across from Wendy’s and was
overcharged for it being a van, not only was I overcharged
for the service, they did a crappy job and to boot, the battery
was dead when it came out of the wash and parked.
Turns out, the tow guy put in a wrong sized battery,
And put it in backward with the cables barely connected.
I have reached out to the tow guy several times,
he has chosen to ignore me entirely.
Instead of doing the right thing, he chose
the opposite direction. Certainly not a show
of Integrity, Character or Honesty on his part.
These are simply not things he stands for.
The DMV refuses to release the title and
registration to me, until the back fees
from everyone else is PAID off and the
Blasted SMOG passes, leaving me in
a difficult place, to say the least.
I reached out to attorneys; they refuse to take the case.
So, time and again, I find myself paying the heavy
price of another person’s actions. That is really messed up!!!
Still paying the price….
