Obviously the scam this company is burdening innocent hard working people with is very wide spread, just judging buy what a search on Google and other search engines pulls up. My on-going problem with the criminals at the Rickenbacker Group is growing more dire because of the fact that Im an active duty Marine who has very little time to deal with an issue like this and was scammed while I was on a 9 month deployment over seas, thus causing me to be completely un-aware of the situation and missed important legal dispute deadlines. I sold a vehicle in Oct. 2008 to a gentlemen in PalmdaleCA only to find out a couple of weeks later that gentleman never registered the vehicle and wrecked it. It had been towed and stored in a Palmdale CA yard. Origionally that yard had come after me with a bill of around 700 something dollars for towing and storage. My father had contacted the yard on my behalf (Because Im in the Marine Corps and I was training non-stop that month in preparation for an upcoming deployment) and showing the employees my transfer of title, I was released of all fees and liability. Thinking all was good, I didn't think much more of it. It wasn't until october 2009, after I got back from a deployment, that I found out a debt of $1,400 + dollars had been reported to all three credit reporting agencies and had gone to collections. The collection agency "Rickenbacker" of Morgan HillCA is now collecting on the same car that had been released from the Palmdale CA impound yard! How can the car which my father had gotten released using my transfer of title end up in another yard over 600 miles away? Also how can a collection agency representing an impound yard post any amount of money in collections when I never received any credit from them? Are they somehow illegally posting collections? Are these people Legitimate? I've asked numerous times for a proof of debt letter be mailed to me to no avail. They claim they mail these items but every time I call to find the status of them, my mailing address somehow seems to be wrong, even when I corrected them the three previous times. The calls have become more and more frequent and predatory, they say now they are charging interest on top of the 1400 dollars, wage garnishment and arrest is likely and so on...   I am very aware of the fact that these people are extortionists who will stop at nothing to use the "system" to con innocent people out of their money. I refuse to give in and pay these criminals, but on the other hand if I don't pay, The collections report will remain and any law enforcement orvfirefighting job wont hire me because of that fact and finding any housing options after I get out of the Marine Corps will be that much more difficult to find. Anyway, Im just very agrivated with the whole situation. Is there any advice or help anyone is willing to lend a hand to my issue? Past experiences with these people?      


Thank you for reading.

The Rickenbacker Group

Hey don't despair. I read your complaint against this company and sounds similar to my situation. Well I applied for credit and found out about there was a claim against me from them. My ex-wife sold a vehicle and the people that bought it never registered it. Blah blah blah so now they're coming after me but where my case is different is that a release of liability was filed and these clowns are still refusing to clear my credit after I sent them letter of dispute and proof of release. Some wanna-be desk clerk argued with me claiming she was an ex DMV employee and swore someone had re-registered vehicle back in my name. These people are a joke. The times I did speak with them, they sounded like they just swam across the river, they're English was so bad and I'm Hispanic myself!  So I'm taking them to small claims court real soon here to try and clear my credit and take them for mental anguish. I suggest you do the same. They can't really hurt you any more than they have already so if you think you're pressed for time, you're not. They can't take you to court or garnish your wages especially if you're a government employee. I know 'cause people have tried with me. Anyways good luck with these clowns.

  Anytime you sell a car in CA, you're required to notify the DMV of the sale (within 5 days).  By filing a "Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability" form, you are cleared from future liablilty and the DMV will no longer show you as the owner of record (which is what caused all this trouble in the first place).  Just doing a title transfer is not enough and does not satisfy the requirements. 

From the CA DMV website :

"Protect Your Liability. Complete a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability. The seller is responsible for reporting the change of ownership to DMV within 5 days from the date of sale. After DMV updates the information from the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability, you will be cleared from future liability on the vehicle. The purchaser is responsible for reporting the change of ownership to DMV within 10 days from the date of purchase. "

  As for your current predicament, I'd suggest you contact your JAG's NLSO office.  They're supposed to help with issues like this.
