You will need to remember the year that you sold the vehicle. There is a form that you have to fill out and send in to them along with $20.00. It takes about 3 weeks turn around time. I had to do this because I sold a car and filed the release of liability but they never updated the DMV records so when it was towed by a tow company they queried DMV and it still showed me as the registered owner (DMV was and still is back logged) so they sent me the tow bill, which I ignored and it ended up on my credit. <br /><br />I took care of it and got it cleared but it was a hassle and took 3 weeks to get the DMV paperwork back. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50 Deep</b> <br /><small>Member # 6216</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,1,18,21,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> requesting the release of liability wont work if you never submitted it. but if you did then thats the best bet. if you didnt then you will need to find some documentation with the new owners name, address, and sell date. once you have that info you can show it to franchise tax board and see about getting your money back. as far as the DMV you need to send in that release of liability with the sale date and the new owners name. but you will have to do all the footwork as the departments not going to track anybody down.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 18, 2008, 09:19 PM: Message edited by: 50 Deep ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
