okay so I bought a car a couple months ago and I never received a title. I bought it from a used car dealership in the moment they didn’t get me a title they said I have to wait * 30 days so I was using paper tags but eventually, I was never able to receive the title because the car they sold me. I guess they had to bond out the title but what happened is the dealership went bankrupt I’m wondering if I could sue and if I can get some type of compensation, and if it would be worth it, the dealership is located in South Carolina I live in North Carolina
