Hello Dinelle, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I had a truck that was bought under false pretenses and sold to someone else with a forged bill of sale and title. The title to the teuck still shows in the DMV data base in my name. I made a police report when it happened but they have done nothing and its been over a year now. I just wanted the truck back
