I found Mr. Wasserman's e-mail and phone number on the bar association site. I e-mailed and left a phone message as well regarding this matter and telling him I would be updating the Federal Trade Commision on this file (previously filed a complaint against them), and would be including his name in the report. I also told him I would be contacting the bar assocation regarding him, and would report to both the FTC and the bar in either a negative or positive light in regards to his actions on my file.

Hours later, there was a message saying he would review the file, then just a few hours after that, a message saying the file was closed and that no further collections actions would be taken. I then asked for a letter from Mr. Gomez of AAA Credit Collection. Mr. Wasserman said he would advise his client to write one, then came a message that I would be receiving said letter.

I guess I'll be ready for the next guy, and by the way the report to the FTC and the bar will still be bad. These jackals tortured me for 3 months before I could get this resolved. His rationale act of actually reading the documents that I ran around to provide him came way too late, particularly since he DMV and Sheriff's Dept. both said they had this information from the start.

Thanks for the clarification! That's an entirely different issue altogether.

If everything you say is true, it doesn't sound like there is any legal basis for holding you liable for this debt. Mind you, I'm not capable of giving you competent legal advice, so don't take this as such.

If you want to just get the matter off the table, a quick faxing of the documents which belie your liability, along with a letter stating that you are aware of and will enforce your rights under the law, should suffice.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to escalate your efforts a bit.

But if you really want some legal vengance, it may be available to you in the form of an FDCPA suit or even an abuse of process claim. Find a local attorney and see what he thinks.

Best of luck!

I guess further clarification is necessary. To begin with, the car was mine, fully paid, before selling it. The person purchasing it from me paid in cash as well. The money the collection agency is attempting to collect is for towing and storage of the vehicle after the previously mentioned arrest of the driver. I received a notice of pending lein sale from the Sheriff's department, and was told by them over the phone that since the car had been sold by me that I did not need to respond.

On 7/21/06, I received the first notice from the collection agency for a bill of $704.56 for towing and storage for the vehicle that had not been mine since 10/04. The DMV Vehicle Registration Form clearly shows that a man purchased and filed DMV paperwork regarding ownership and registration on 5/1/06. I am unsure if it was the same man arrested on 5/30/06 while driving the car, therefore causing the impound. All I know is the car is not mine, DMV forms prove it, and both DMV and the Sheriff's Department have told me that this information was known by the towing company, the collection agency, and their attorney prior to their attempt to collect from me.

What exactly are they trying to collect from you? I'm having a hard time understanding your report.

Are they trying to collect on an outstanding note stemming from your purchase of the vehicle? If that's the case, why wouldn't you owe the money? Selling the car to someone else doesn't relieve you of your personal liability on the note unless the lender agrees to it. You can't unilaterally substitute another debtor in a consumer credit agreement.

In such a case, you remain primarily liable on the debt to the original creditor, and your remedy is against the person to whom you sold the car.

Or is your issue something completely different that I'm just not catching?
