I’m looking at a vehicle and the owner has the title but the previous owner messed up signing it so the title agency won’t transfer it into his name. He had contacted the people that sold it to him and they since blocked/ingored/etc all further contact. What are my options if I buy this thing to get a title for it if I can’t get ahold of the person that sold it and signed it over wrong?This is all in Georgia but I’ll be trying to title it in Ohio since I’m Air Force and I’m keeping all my crap in Ohio.

The issue is that the people that had it originally sold it to their son and signed it over to him. He decided he wanted nothing to do with it and never transferred it to his name. So they resold it to the person I might buy it from and signed it over to him in the next box on the title. When he took it to get it transferred into his name the title bureau told him he needed to have them fill out a form. When he contacted them about it they wouldn’t do it. I tried calling and very politely explaining and he said his wife would call me back. She never did so I’m trying to figure out options if I completely can’t get them to work with me.
will they be able to pull anything if I would just get a bonded title? I’ve never felt with them before so I’m not familiar with how that all works and google is mostly full of places that want to be the ones to provide the serviceComment

If the vehicle has not been registered or a change in title ownership in perhaps the last 7 years you might be able push it through Vermont DMV..I do know for older bikes , Vermont issues transferrable registrations with a bill of sale. You don't need to be a Vermont resident...Their DMV website has details and if it's applicable for cars/trucks...one possible tricky detail is someone of authority must sign off on the VIN number..I believe there are a few other states with similar procedures..Titling companies used to be reasonable but now the fees are quite pricey.

It’s a 00 blazer, plan is to build a mild go fast/grocery getter. I can get it for 600 when most of the ones in that condition around here are more like 2k or more. At this point I’ll probably try calling again and if I don’t get anywhere there I’ll can it and watch for the next deal to come up.Comment

Stop in at the previous owners and offer them $50-100 "for their trouble" to straighten out the paper work?
