A Camper Calamity

The plaintiff says she bought a camper from the defendant. When she went to the DMV to register it, they informed her the camper had never been registered before, so the defendant needed to fix that before she could get the title. The defendant is refusing to do so, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund. The defendant insists she told the plaintiff the camper had never been on the road, and it was an as-is sale.

[@kimberlyadorno280]

The defendant has some nerve acting so annoyed about the plaintiff taking 7 months to register the camper when she NEVER did. I live in MA and she knew whether it was on the road or not, it needed to be registered and titled in her name. Nasty attitude when she started the domino effect by jumping title. You can't jump title anywhere.

[@Kayla-rd5jd]

her attitude about having to pay the taxes she tried to skip on is wild. even if the plaintiff did the registration immediately, the defendant still would have to pay. it’s her own fault! it’s annoying to shell out a lot for taxes but it’s no one’s fault but her own - she should be mad at herself & not the person who bought her camper. some adults are so unable to take responsibility it’s astonishing but not surprising at all

[@synnove1046]

@@MrV41N It’s ridiculous for you to attribute the problem in this case to the fact that both of the litigants are women. That’s just your glaring bias on full display. The fact that they are both women makes no difference. The defendant caused the problem by jumping title, whether due to a sincere misunderstanding of the law or just a way to avoid some taxes. If you replaced these women with men, please tell me how that would change any of the facts of this case? Do you just assume that no man has ever jumped title when selling some sort of vehicle? Because I have definitely seen several instances of men doing exactly that on The People’s Court.

[@faznout]

The judge said it might only be a couple hundred dollars for the defendant to get the registration updated. The defendant waited 3 years so that registration fee is going to be a lot more than $200. Cause the fact of the matter is if you wait several months or even years to update the registration and title on a car, boat, camper, full-size RV, or even a trailer that tows a car the DMV loves to charge extra late fees, taxes and penalties. So the defendant might end up paying what the plaintiff paid her for the camper just to get everything up to date.

[@The_Real_Mier]

The DMV has every right to charge a late fee. Especially when it is 3 yrs too late. Your ‘DMV ‘loves’ to charge…’ is not warranted here. (Nope, I don’t work for them)

[@punkgaopher]

The defendant knew EXACTLY what she was doing by not registering the camper. She knew EXACTLY why the plaintiff couldn't register the camper, it's just like a car: you have to get a title in YOUR name and then sign it over. I'm kind of surprised why the Plaintiff didn't realize that the title name wasn't the name of the seller (ie the defendant), that would be my number 1 question. All the defendant had to do was download the form online, fill it out, print it out, go to the DMV early in the morning and title it + pay the sales tax. She just wanted to be cheap and not pay the sales tax since "it never hit the road". It doesn't matter if it never hits the road, it still needs to be registered under your name. What would have happened if a tree took it out and you wanted to file an insurance claim? Oh wait, you can't do that because the TITLE ISN'T IN YOUR NAME. Yeah, the plaintiff should have done this sooner but I understand her train of thought, why get it inspected and registered if you're not planning on using it for the next 6+ months? Also, this could have all been solved if the defendant was up front about the state of the Title not just, "I never took it out on the road". Yeah, going to the DMV at 7am on a Saturday isn't fun, it never is but if it helps another human being out, why not? Then you'll never have to deal with it again. She can be out of your hair.

[@moparmadness0180]

Both buyer and seller knew about the title at time of sale. Seller never intended to register as she didn't need it on the road and didn't want to pay the property tax. Buyer would be dumb to not realize the name on the title was different than the person selling, not to mention, you're given I think 90 days to register before paying late fees. Buyer waited longer than the 90 days because she "knew" the title wasn't dated so she could date the title before taking it to register. What was unknown to both parties, was that the ORIGINAL seller who's name was still on that title, had reported to the dmv proof of sale so that they themselves would no longer have to pay the taxes. So when the new Buyer went to register, the dmv knew it had sold 3 years prior and the title had accrued late fees for registration. This at least is how it works in my state.
