Robert Givens took my money for a 2000 Jaguar S-Type, changed the terms, added false fees, and relisted the car while still accepting payments. Gambrills Maryland

On June 10, 2024, I entered into an agreement with Robert Givens to purchase a 2000 Jaguar S-Type for $3,100 under a bi-weekly payment plan. Rob agreed to hold the vehicle while I completed payments. However, despite making consistent payments, Rob changed the terms, added false fees, ignored settlement attempts, and relisted the car for sale multiple times while still collecting money from me. Payments were made consistently, but later Rob claimed additional late fees that were never part of the agreement, raising the total amount to $3,579. By October 30, 2024, I had paid a significant portion of the total, leaving a balance of $784.34 (which included Rob’s unauthorized late fees). However, Rob demanded $1,029.68 instead, even though he had agreed to continue the deal after a short pause in payments. Rob initially agreed to let me continue making payments and finalize the sale after I resumed payments.

Despite this, he listed the vehicle for sale THREE separate times while I was still paying. This is clear evidence of bad faith, as he was collecting money from me while attempting to sell the car to someone else. On December 27, 2024, I scheduled a final payment and car transfer at 6:45 PM. Rob delayed the process past 10 PM, making it unsafe for me and my partner, Chelsea Roden, to continue the transaction that night. To ensure the deal went through, my partner paid Rob an additional $700 down payment to lock in the sale. Instead of honoring the agreement, Rob relisted the car again and refused to finalize the sale. On January 6, 2025, I reached out to Rob one last time, asking to finalize everything. Rob ignored all communication, refused to transfer the car, and kept all payments made. His actions now amount to fraud, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment as he has both the vehicle and my money while attempting to resell it.

Rob’s actions violate multiple legal standards, including Breach of Contract – He agreed to a payment plan and car transfer but later refused to comply, Unjust Enrichment – He kept my money while refusing to complete the sale, Fraudulent Misrepresentation – He accepted payments while actively listing the car for resale, Failure to Transfer Ownership – He collected money for a vehicle without legally transferring ownership, and Possible Criminal Fraud – If proven that he never intended to complete the sale, this could be criminal fraud.

To hold Rob accountable, I have already taken the following steps: Filed a Complaint with the Maryland Attorney General – Consumer Protection Division for fraudulent auto sale practices, Reported Rob to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) for failing to transfer ownership and possible unlicensed vehicle sales, Submitted a Fraud Report to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for deceptive sales practices, Filed a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to publicly expose his actions, Reported His Actions to Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist to prevent him from scamming others, Filed a Ripoff Report to create a permanent public record of his fraud, Preparing a Circuit Court Lawsuit for Replevin (Car Return), Full Refund, and Legal Fees, and Contacting Local Law Enforcement to explore filing a fraud report with the police. I am seeking one of two resolutions: Immediate transfer of the 2000 Jaguar S-Type to me as originally agreed, with all title and registration documents, or If the vehicle is no longer available, a full refund of all payments made, including the $700 down payment, and Reimbursement for legal fees and damages resulting from his deceptive practices.

If Rob refuses to resolve this issue, I will proceed with the Circuit Court lawsuit and request the maximum legal penalties against him. Rob has been given multiple chances to resolve this fairly but continues to ignore communication and violate agreements. His actions have caused financial harm and emotional stress, and I will pursue all available legal avenues to hold him accountable. Next Steps: File Circuit Court Lawsuit for Replevin, Breach of Contract, and Fraud. Obtain a police fraud report for legal documentation. Continue applying pressure through consumer protection agencies. This document serves as a complete case summary and legal record.
