I purchased a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, VIN# 1G3AG54N6P6303147 [ad was on Craigslist] for $750.00 cash from R & R Towing, 2101 Bonnie Brae Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76111, Ph# (817) 454-9562 and Fax# (817) 831-0575. I paid a $300 cash deposit on April 3, and the balance of $450.00 on April 5. I received (2) receipts for the cash transactions and a title from R & R Towing. The money was paid directly to "Neka" of R & R Towing. Additionally, "Neka" of R & R Towing voluntarily had the car I purchased towed to my home by one of her drivers. On April 5, when I attempted to obtain the title and permanent tags for the car from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 645 Grapevine Hwy, Suite 1, Hurst, TX 76054, I was unable to obtain the title because DMV personnel informed me that the last (2) names on the title had no right to sell the car in the 1st place. R & R Towing, as the company, nor its owners' names do not appear on the title. Additionally, R & R Towing as a business, failed to follow the information at the top of the title on the back: "When vehicle is sold, title holder must assign and furnish this title, current license, receipt and sales tax affidavit to the purchaser who must file application with county tax assessor collector within 20 working days to avoid $10 penalty." On April 6, "Neka" of R & R Towing met me at the above Hurst DMV location. I stood next to "Neka" at the DMV window. My friend and witness, Christy Wilkerson was present also. After explaining my situation to the DMV personnel, they explained to "Neka" of R & R Towing that the best option was for R & R Towing to obtain a bonded title [when evidence of ownership cannot be proven] for the car to get the title. R & R Towing will not refund my $750.00 I paid for the 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. The car currently sits with no title in my name and no permanent tags.
