Wow, this video brings back some terrible memories of when I co-signed a vehicle for a family member. I was a young teenager so I didn't know any better. My family member stopped paying on the vehicle and I got a call from the loan company so I paid off the remaining balance and had the Title sent to me in my name only. Called up a tow company and showed that I had the title in my name and we went and picked up the vehicle. It was scary and messy. My family was mad at me for a while but we reconciled. The one thing that lesson taught me is to NEVER, I mean NEVER co-sign for anything else. I won't even co-sign anything for my own child. My child knows not to even ask me.

I'm on the lady's side. If she has title then the trucks paid in full. She just has to fill out the info on title and go to BMV to get it submitted. She needs to get a lawyer and sue the seller. If the seller handed her the title then he was paid in full. She just needs to go to BMV with title to get her name transferred. It's an open shut case if she decides to take the seller to court.
We had a copy of the title, which means she didn’t have it. Not only that, it wasn’t registered to her, so legally it wasn’t hers. As I said above, just because it’s in your possession doesn’t mean you own it.
@Towtruck_Dustin if the title she had was signed by the previous owner, meaning he released all interest in it, then it belongs to her..doesn't matter if he is the current registered owner or not.. He signed a legal document stating he is releasing all interest in that vehicle BEFORE applying for a lost title..if she has a title signed by him then the title was never lost!..The previous owner is a scammer.
@mebe2k That's the current owner's fault and now the truck is gone. She never showed anything so it's her word against what the repo operator has on file.

I can’t lie as much as I love the flat beds, repos are much more entertaining to watch, Question, I wonder what’s the story, how does one owe payments for a 47 year old truck? I didn’t know you can finance an old truck
I get that it's a job etc, but you know the one good thing if the world devolves into some kind of zombie apocalypse? No repos -- I'm not quite sure why this started showing up on my feed, or why people are so intrigued by this, but shame on this guy.

I had a Bank order to Recover a vehicle from my youngest brother. Without a second thought, I completed the Recovery Contract. Was the family mad at me? Nope...because my brother had a bad habit of Living way beyond his means.
How can you reposes a vehicle that the bank has no leinholder? Sounds illegal to me. 😅 man I'd tell her to get off my wheel lift. Screw these ppl. I would of let that pallet fall and not waste time
@@Towtruck_Dustin I understand but you slammed the pallet against the garage and she probably heard it. Being more stealthy will save you a lot of headache. Just trying to help. Have a good night, be safe.
This is an unfortunate family matter. This truck is a beast. Has a 390 in it. I was one of the owners of it for a little bit. It's low-geared and straight-piped. It's been sitting for a few years. It's a beast of a truck. Won't get in the middle of this situation though.
My first tow-truck was a '76 F350 (In the 90's)...wish they still made trucks like that! Simple, bulletproof and cheap when they were new. They could do what trucks were intended to do...no carpet or electric tailgates, like on these over-priced ridiculous delicate monstrosities. I'd love to have the truck in this vid!
This is a prime example why you always register your title immediately. Even if you're not gonna license it for a while, it doesn't take hardly anything to get a title in your name quickly.
@@perez-gaara Abso-freaking-lutely. The last used car I bought from a private seller was a 1974 VW Beetle back in 2010. Even though the motor was out of the car as the previous owner had blown up the engine (gotta watch the valve lash), the car registered the next day, as there was no way in hell that I was going to dump time and money into rebuilding the engine, only to get screwed over.
@@perez-gaara There does not have to be a sales contract for there to be a reposition. I've had to run repositions exactly like this. All you have to have is the original title and paperwork. Proving you own the vehicle and be willing to pay the toe company to go get it. Generally, you wanna inform the police and dot your eyes and cross your teeth? But then you can just go get it. A few years back, there was a scam similar to this where somebody would sell a car and they would turn around and have the car repaid because they sold the car with a replacement title but kept the original. By the time it got into the courts, the person who pulled the scam was already out of the state. What I'm saying is if these people were honest and were given the really needed to register it back in their name. Or this brother could have taken it any time he felt like it. I never heard anywhere in the videos that there was actually a contract.
It'll be pretty bad for the P.O. if these people have a signed clear and DATED title with no lien on it in court. Even though they failed to transfer in a timely matter, getting the truck repoed claiming to be the owner after you signed the title away will get you some charges.
dad sold a73 dart he gave me but was to sick to make title to me not realizing what hes doing ( cancer meds ) he didnt even sign title guy boult it signed his name for him dont mean i can have it piked up and say its still my right or wrong after titles signed you own it
If her story is true I feel bad for her. If she has a son throwing a fit. Anyway I always figured matters like this were civil and you couldn’t just send a tow onto someone’s yard for a civil matter. But I’m probably wrong.
im not sure how it works in the US but here in Canada, tow companies get hired by the courts after the lien holder decides to file his case and they issue what is called a Warrant for Repossesion so the sheriff of the courts will show up with the tow company, hand you the warrant and you have no choice but to surrender the vehicle, but they can also reposses the vehicle and are not required to give you information.
Pretty smooth! A friendly critique, though: Don’t ever hand the angry/upset person your phone; she could have thrown it or taken it, even if it’s a work phone it would still be a hassle, and with it being unlocked she could get numbers or potentially emails or any other important information off of it.
That’s a very true statement, I was on a repo a couple years ago. I let the lady use my phone to talk to the Lien holder. She didn’t like what was required. She threw my phone down to the ground and shadowed the screen. 🤬
@@Towtruck_Dustin nope civil charge destruction of private property, you'd have to sue in small claims court, maybe get a lawyer then try to collect on the judgment.
You dont own classic cars do you pol. 50+ year old vehickes alot of em dont have titles. Some older vehickes never had titles back then. But usually whwn you buy older classics.. Its a bill of sale.. As titles are long gone. Not on record anymore either. Or the person who owned it died. I have a 76 Thats bill of sale only. I gatta get a title for it but i bought it. With it sitting in the field for 22 years. A written bill of sale is legal to show you own the vehicle. In this situation though they have the titles and just didnt transfer it. Which is stupid on there part
If you watch the video pol, you’ll notice the first words out of her mouth are “I have the title” The title does nothing if the new buyers are avoiding taxes and costs and never get it transferred. This truck isn’t 50 years old. Most states do have antique and vintage titles. I’ve had a 1966 C10, and a 1964 D100 Sweptline. Both had titles pol. When you try to chest the system…you risk losing. The owner is the person on the title. End of story. @@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305
@@Nevoexpo If I were in that situation my friend. I’d communicate with the lien holder. My experiences have shown time and time again. They’re willing to work with people. They don’t want the collateral back, just the payment or payments. I never judge anyone in that situation. It is various reasons why some people are delinquent and sometimes it no fault of their own. Laid off of a job , health issues etc. I have always given them respect whether they wanted it or not. 💯Therefore it’s not personal to me in the sense it’s a job in which had to be done.
No it was not personal neither did he care about not damaging the truck. He jus threw the chain all on the tailgate half-assed. He made it personal when he did that I hope the repossor sees this video.
@@NevoexpoIf you don’t like it, make sure you got your shit in order BEFORE getting a vehicle you’ve never had! It sucks! But guess what? Legal consequences.
You need to be be careful with private party repos, if the seller has not filed a lien against the title this is theft that is why I always refused these types of repos! Though this sounded like a lot of family drama and can rope you into a domestic abuse situation.
@@51-FSuh I hope you know they can be on her property cause if a repo comes and repo your car then you have to let them know something before commenting 🙄
@Knglx guess it's different from sate to sate, but here unless it's got a judges oder, they have to leave if they are told to. Now if they are hooked then they can take the vehicle. U can't make them drop it but u can make them leave.
unless they take the title to the DMV and have it put in their name, it’s still in the original owners name and they can take it back, plenty of stories of that happening
Some people may be asking themselves why would he put so much effort into repoing such an old truck. It's because these old trucks are worth a ton of money (even if it's a shell) and the people trying to steal them know it. That's why I always used micro switches (or brake line locks) on all my old hot rods so the only way you can steal it is if you carry it away lol.
I have a 1969 step side Chevy that my pops gave me it's still sitting till I can get some money to build it and rap it how I wanted they live in the woods but I still want to put something in front of it because I know people that came by be wanting to take it
@@ماسلاوانسیان-ص5ظ I think nostalgia has a lot to do with it. Whether it was a truck you rode around in with your grand dad or the first car you had in high school. Some people just want the car they always dreamed of having when young but where too poor to buy it then.
Anyone with any knowledge on the current market will be glad to not just fleece you but totally shear you bald on your logic. This truck will sell for at least $15 grand all day long. 20 year olds with their college fund and UA-cam money have pumped the market. @@GMbowtie350
every time ive ever bought or sold a car from a private party, after agreeing to buy i would agree to meet them at the DMV with cash in hand, that way we can pay, sign the title over and get the plate at the same time,
This is why Pennsylvania makes it mandatory that you transfer the title at a title place (AKA tag place or notary). You are not allowed to just pay cash for title in hand. This is to protect both parties. Old owner can't be held liable for what happened after the transaction and new owner has proof of ownership, notarized.
Same here in CA. I had to junk a car I never got the title transferred because it wouldn't pass smog. But the DMV strait up told me you never bought this car. I ended up having to pay the junkers 300 bucks to come take it, they told me they would have to cut the car in half.
So true about pa, even tho I don't like their state inspection but it does come in handy buying used cars from private sellers when they say it's out of inspection but it will pass and I'm like why can't you do inspection for sale.
@@TorryGood and that inspection is a joke to begin with. Overall though PA is OK. They even did away with registration stickers. You do it all online and print your registration yourself. I read somewhere that just the postage, envelopes and stickers save $5 to $7 million a year.
As a Maintenance Supervisor we helped the Sheriff's Department execute evictions. Sheriff would hand the resident the eviction notice and we would remove everything from the apartment and put on the curb off the property. Some of them were pretty hairy at times. The bad part was if the resident wasn't prepared or stayed with the belongings the Vultures showed up and helped themselves to the furniture. Sad, especially with children.
It's sad to think of how many out there have no problem doing that to someone at a low point in their life. Here in a small town of around 10,000 I wouldn't see people taking stuff unless it had a 'free' sign sticking to it
@@StrawIsEpic I’m in Atlanta Georgia. I seen plenty of evictions. They put everything out on the curb just like he said. And it’s like a first come first serve😆. Pretty sad and pretty f***ed up I seen children crying outside when it was cold and wet with no where to go and no way to get all their stuff
Because she knew they screwed up by being too lazy to go get the title switched. Regardless of who was right in this deal without the title in her name she has no leg to stand on if the PO wants to play these games. The state can't account for the old title being signed by a seller sitting in the new owners home.
Just curious, maybe some folks more in the know than me on such matters can enlighten me...if they genuinely hold the title, how can anyone else get a repo order for it? By not registering it, did that leave a back door for the original owner to get a replacement title for it?
If they genuinely held the title they wouldn’t be freaking out about the repo. They would know that their getting the truck back and some sort of compensation from the tow company, probably a couple of free tows.
Yes, by not having the title officially transferred by the state, the PO was still the "official owner" as a matter of law. And so the original owner could contract out on a repo like this to recover it, and the towing company is in the clear (legally speaking, but the company definitely has ethical issues with willingly taking part in a scam). This is one reason why it's important to transfer title ASAP....... as the PO can simply file lost title and get a new one then do something like this if they wanted. Best to do the official transfer immediately.
@@davemccage7918 Getting the truck back after such a point would involved lawyers and the courts, which costs money. And given the lack of ethics of this two company and the fact they are willing to operate just within the limits of law, I doubt they would get shit from the tow company. The tow company got its money from the PO, and the official paperwork on record with the state clears them of any "wrongdoing" in terms of law.

I think that if they have the title and the owner signed it and they have a bill of sale from the owner, they shouldn’t be allowed to tow it without a court order. They need to see a lawyer. If it’s true what she said, then that’s a jerk move by the owner. Especially if he’s their son.
Yes if she could show you signed bill of sale and title it is hers that’s hope every old car is sold and if I was in that situation I would’ve stood my ground right or wrong
@@Towtruck_Dustin So they have a signed title which no one is gonna sign without payment? Looks to me like the previous owner is trying to scam them to get it back and keep the money. Even if they didn't register it if they have a signed title thats ridiculous to tow it without a court order.
@@redtra236 Yea a signed title means someone sold, but seems the company is more focused on the profit they gained from a repo then wondering how and why this lady has a signed title.
No respect on this one. There is some hinky shit going on and you just took sides. Could possibly even open yourself up to a lawsuit regardless of "having repo papers" plus I'm amazed you didn't get met at the business end of a shotgun!
that was a family court matter you should have never got into. because if they prove they paid in full you just stole there vehicle. which you can be charged and sued for !!! that's when it comes to family shit I walk away from that and have the cops deal with it !!!
About 30 years ago i was (briefly) a one ton wrecker operator. As far as securing a steering wheel, I was taught to do a simple hitch with a rope, pinch it in the front of the door jamb and do a simple knot to keep it from going slack. Seems a lot simpler than messing with a ratchet strap.
I used to pick up junk cars when I had my wrecker. I'd just use an old fan belt looped through the steering wheel and closed in door jam. I like Dustin's use of the ratchet strap better though.....

Not sure about the law in TX but all they had to do in CA is close and lock the driveway gate and it's inacessible W/O a court order to enter the property. but that dang pallet banging like a shotgun didn't help

I did repo for a few years in the late 90’s and never had anything that old. Oldest I had was a ‘89 iroc.
I can’t lie as much as I love the flat beds, repos are much more entertaining to watch, Question, I wonder what’s the story, how does one owe payments for a 47 year old truck?
I didn’t know you can finance an old truck
Never mind I watched the complete video. He stopped payments.
Turns out that it was a family dispute actually.

Pretty dangerous not checking the Vin# and if someone was injured.
Lmao if someone was injured? What are you talking about 😂
That's what happens with family you can never trust family😂
Idk how bad you fall out with your mom or dad you never and I mean never try to leave them in a messed up predicament 💯
To repo a 47 year old truck from your mother is pretty pathetic.
Aside from the interior, that Ford looks like it's actually a nice ride, especially if it runs...🤘🏻🇺🇸
It needed a little love, but it definitely had potential to clean up well!

Nice old truck.
Instant waterworks for sympathy
She towed him they should have transferred the title but Dustin towed the truck. Feel bad for the lady but that language was funny.
Good luck finding parts for that hunk of junk. Only thing good on it is the cab and bed, if it’s not beat to heck or rusting out.

This looks fun, good work man
Nobody screws you better than family
I get that it's a job etc, but you know the one good thing if the world devolves into some kind of zombie apocalypse? No repos -- I'm not quite sure why this started showing up on my feed, or why people are so intrigued by this, but shame on this guy. I get it, pay your bills, get it titled, that's what everyone says in these comments. This job is right up there with time share salesmen or extended warranty phone calls, can't end soon enough. Gross.

We tied s wheel off on vent window back in the day no steering lock
Tough one but good job
Thank You!
What year is that tow truck
Why do people plead with the repo man? There's no point.
I would never repo anything from my mom or dad ever. No matter what.
I had a Bank order to Recover a vehicle from my youngest brother. Without a second thought, I completed the Recovery Contract. Was the family mad at me? Nope...because my brother had a bad habit of Living way beyond his means.
@curtekstrom9531 that is understandable
Bro this house looks familiar. That santa on the roof. Yoo i think i delivered here 3 to 4 days ago😂😂

The son is definitely not a momma's boy
Repo means repurchase agreement
That’s why u never trust anyone not even family they’ll all screw u over when there not getting there way u should of reg it of or was urs
How much does the lein holder pay the repo company for a haul? Amazing business.
It depends on the situation.

Yep. Exactly why calling the cops wouldn’t do her any good.

How can you reposes a vehicle that the bank has no leinholder? Sounds illegal to me. 😅 man I'd tell her to get off my wheel lift. Screw these ppl. I would of let that pallet fall and not waste time

I’ve never weighed that much in my whole life lol probably closer to 110 lol

The pallet was there as a deterrent. You should of just hooked it and got out of there.
Could have, but if I damage the truck I’m liable for it.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I understand but you slammed the pallet against the garage and she probably heard it. Being more stealthy will save you a lot of headache. Just trying to help. Have a good night, be safe.
Rule number one don't trust anyone. Transfer the title in your name immediately upon purchase.
Legally they have 30 days anyway.
'76 Ford is in pretty good shape. I'm a '76er as well. I'm falling apart a bit, but I'm still doing the best that I can do. 😂
My daughter was born in '76 and she looks a hell of a lot better than that ratty truck! 😂
I'm sure you got seats though in your truck!
This is an unfortunate family matter. This truck is a beast. Has a 390 in it. I was one of the owners of it for a little bit. It's low-geared and straight-piped. It's been sitting for a few years. It's a beast of a truck. Won't get in the middle of this situation though.
Don’t matter what engine it has. Finding parts is $$$. For a junk box.
A 360
Sitting for 2 years has a mouse nest in it!
My first tow-truck was a '76 F350 (In the 90's)...wish they still made trucks like that! Simple, bulletproof and cheap when they were new. They could do what trucks were intended to do...no carpet or electric tailgates, like on these over-priced ridiculous delicate monstrosities. I'd love to have the truck in this vid!
What a random comment on the engine and the specs 😂
This is a prime example why you always register your title immediately. Even if you're not gonna license it for a while, it doesn't take hardly anything to get a title in your name quickly.
That's why you also ask for a receipt if you're buying something, so you cover your own keister.
@moosecat how do you get recipient for private party sale ? Bill of sale?
@@perez-gaara Abso-freaking-lutely. The last used car I bought from a private seller was a 1974 VW Beetle back in 2010. Even though the motor was out of the car as the previous owner had blown up the engine (gotta watch the valve lash), the car registered the next day, as there was no way in hell that I was going to dump time and money into rebuilding the engine, only to get screwed over.
@rcorn79135 it's in their contract they can go on there property bc it's not there truck it's someone's else's which is theft
@@perez-gaara There does not have to be a sales contract for there to be a reposition. I've had to run repositions exactly like this. All you have to have is the original title and paperwork. Proving you own the vehicle and be willing to pay the toe company to go get it. Generally, you wanna inform the police and dot your eyes and cross your teeth? But then you can just go get it. A few years back, there was a scam similar to this where somebody would sell a car and they would turn around and have the car repaid because they sold the car with a replacement title but kept the original. By the time it got into the courts, the person who pulled the scam was already out of the state. What I'm saying is if these people were honest and were given the really needed to register it back in their name. Or this brother could have taken it any time he felt like it. I never heard anywhere in the videos that there was actually a contract.
It'll be pretty bad for the P.O. if these people have a signed clear and DATED title with no lien on it in court. Even though they failed to transfer in a timely matter, getting the truck repoed claiming to be the owner after you signed the title away will get you some charges.
dad sold a73 dart he gave me but was to sick to make title to me not realizing what hes doing ( cancer meds ) he didnt even sign title guy boult it signed his name for him dont mean i can have it piked up and say its still my right or wrong after titles signed you own it
If her story is true I feel bad for her. If she has a son throwing a fit. Anyway I always figured matters like this were civil and you couldn’t just send a tow onto someone’s yard for a civil matter. But I’m probably wrong.
im not sure how it works in the US but here in Canada, tow companies get hired by the courts after the lien holder decides to file his case and they issue what is called a Warrant for Repossesion so the sheriff of the courts will show up with the tow company, hand you the warrant and you have no choice but to surrender the vehicle, but they can also reposses the vehicle and are not required to give you information.
If you sign as a lienholder you can have a vehicle repossessed if the buyer fails to make payments.
This is a massive lawsuit waiting to happen.
Between family members. Not the tow company
Millions of dollars I'm sure.
@@derekd8142 He meant lawsuit between the family and the person who owned the truck prior.
@@DEADCHALLELLOL they don't have the money for lawsuits.
Pretty smooth! A friendly critique, though: Don’t ever hand the angry/upset person your phone; she could have thrown it or taken it, even if it’s a work phone it would still be a hassle, and with it being unlocked she could get numbers or potentially emails or any other important information off of it.
That’s a very true statement, I was on a repo a couple years ago. I let the lady use my phone to talk to the Lien holder. She didn’t like what was required. She threw my phone down to the ground and shadowed the screen. 🤬
nah ppl dont actually do this
Sounds like a criminal charge to me lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin nope civil charge destruction of private property, you'd have to sue in small claims court, maybe get a lawyer then try to collect on the judgment.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I just looked at it as the time it would take dealing with it court wise. . I would consider it a learning experience.
This kind of situation is exactly why cars have titles.
You dont own classic cars do you pol. 50+ year old vehickes alot of em dont have titles. Some older vehickes never had titles back then. But usually whwn you buy older classics.. Its a bill of sale..
As titles are long gone. Not on record anymore either. Or the person who owned it died.
I have a 76 Thats bill of sale only. I gatta get a title for it but i bought it. With it sitting in the field for 22 years. A written bill of sale is legal to show you own the vehicle.
In this situation though they have the titles and just didnt transfer it. Which is stupid on there part

Try being on the other side for once and then you will see how personal it is. 🤷♂
@@Nevoexpo If I were in that situation my friend. I’d communicate with the lien holder. My experiences have shown time and time again. They’re willing to work with people. They don’t want the collateral back, just the payment or payments. I never judge anyone in that situation. It is various reasons why some people are delinquent and sometimes it no fault of their own. Laid off of a job , health issues etc. I have always given them respect whether they wanted it or not. 💯Therefore it’s not personal to me in the sense it’s a job in which had to be done.
No it was not personal neither did he care about not damaging the truck. He jus threw the chain all on the tailgate half-assed. He made it personal when he did that I hope the repossor sees this video.
@@NevoexpoIf you don’t like it, make sure you got your shit in order BEFORE getting a vehicle you’ve never had!
It sucks! But guess what? Legal consequences.
You need to be be careful with private party repos, if the seller has not filed a lien against the title this is theft that is why I always refused these types of repos! Though this sounded like a lot of family drama and can rope you into a domestic abuse situation.
I never understand these people. All she would have had to do was keep that gate locked.

@Knglx guess it's different from sate to sate, but here unless it's got a judges oder, they have to leave if they are told to. Now if they are hooked then they can take the vehicle. U can't make them drop it but u can make them leave.
If the owner signed the title over it's not his no matter what DMV paperwork says
unless they take the title to the DMV and have it put in their name, it’s still in the original owners name and they can take it back, plenty of stories of that happening
Some people may be asking themselves why would he put so much effort into repoing such an old truck. It's because these old trucks are worth a ton of money (even if it's a shell) and the people trying to steal them know it. That's why I always used micro switches (or brake line locks) on all my old hot rods so the only way you can steal it is if you carry it away lol.
I have a 1969 step side Chevy that my pops gave me it's still sitting till I can get some money to build it and rap it how I wanted they live in the woods but I still want to put something in front of it because I know people that came by be wanting to take it

every time ive ever bought or sold a car from a private party, after agreeing to buy i would agree to meet them at the DMV with cash in hand, that way we can pay, sign the title over and get the plate at the same time,
This is why Pennsylvania makes it mandatory that you transfer the title at a title place (AKA tag place or notary). You are not allowed to just pay cash for title in hand. This is to protect both parties. Old owner can't be held liable for what happened after the transaction and new owner has proof of ownership, notarized.
Same here in CA. I had to junk a car I never got the title transferred because it wouldn't pass smog. But the DMV strait up told me you never bought this car. I ended up having to pay the junkers 300 bucks to come take it, they told me they would have to cut the car in half.
So true about pa, even tho I don't like their state inspection but it does come in handy buying used cars from private sellers when they say it's out of inspection but it will pass and I'm like why can't you do inspection for sale.
@@TorryGood and that inspection is a joke to begin with. Overall though PA is OK. They even did away with registration stickers. You do it all online and print your registration yourself. I read somewhere that just the postage, envelopes and stickers save $5 to $7 million a year.
As a Maintenance Supervisor we helped the Sheriff's Department execute evictions. Sheriff would hand the resident the eviction notice and we would remove everything from the apartment and put on the curb off the property. Some of them were pretty hairy at times. The bad part was if the resident wasn't prepared or stayed with the belongings the Vultures showed up and helped themselves to the furniture. Sad, especially with children.
Yeah I would imagine that would be tense. I’ve had to tow vehicles for the PD during evictions before.
It's sad to think of how many out there have no problem doing that to someone at a low point in their life. Here in a small town of around 10,000 I wouldn't see people taking stuff unless it had a 'free' sign sticking to it

I noticed that......
Seemed like the emotions just ended when Campbells said they had a copy of the title.
Like magic 🎉
Funny how that works lol
Because she knew they screwed up by being too lazy to go get the title switched. Regardless of who was right in this deal without the title in her name she has no leg to stand on if the PO wants to play these games. The state can't account for the old title being signed by a seller sitting in the new owners home.
Just curious, maybe some folks more in the know than me on such matters can enlighten me...if they genuinely hold the title, how can anyone else get a repo order for it? By not registering it, did that leave a back door for the original owner to get a replacement title for it?
I think its whoevers names on the title never transferred the title they just paid for the truck
If they genuinely held the title they wouldn’t be freaking out about the repo. They would know that their getting the truck back and some sort of compensation from the tow company, probably a couple of free tows.
@davemccage7918 some one takes your property yes you would be upset
Yes, by not having the title officially transferred by the state, the PO was still the "official owner" as a matter of law. And so the original owner could contract out on a repo like this to recover it, and the towing company is in the clear (legally speaking, but the company definitely has ethical issues with willingly taking part in a scam). This is one reason why it's important to transfer title ASAP....... as the PO can simply file lost title and get a new one then do something like this if they wanted. Best to do the official transfer immediately.
@@davemccage7918 Getting the truck back after such a point would involved lawyers and the courts, which costs money.
And given the lack of ethics of this two company and the fact they are willing to operate just within the limits of law, I doubt they would get shit from the tow company. The tow company got its money from the PO, and the official paperwork on record with the state clears them of any "wrongdoing" in terms of law.

@@WhiskeyTango68 Last I saw, he was out, but his career was done. Very much a shame because he was very good at what he did!
I think that if they have the title and the owner signed it and they have a bill of sale from the owner, they shouldn’t be allowed to tow it without a court order. They need to see a lawyer. If it’s true what she said, then that’s a jerk move by the owner. Especially if he’s their son.
Those are just the things you need to transfer the title. Not prove ownership. Until you register it in your name, it isn’t legally yours.
Yes if she could show you signed bill of sale and title it is hers that’s hope every old car is sold and if I was in that situation I would’ve stood my ground right or wrong
@@Towtruck_Dustinthat’s just dumb. You’re telling me I can sell a car and have your company repo my car back before the new owner can title it 😂
@@Towtruck_Dustin So they have a signed title which no one is gonna sign without payment? Looks to me like the previous owner is trying to scam them to get it back and keep the money. Even if they didn't register it if they have a signed title thats ridiculous to tow it without a court order.
@@redtra236 Yea a signed title means someone sold, but seems the company is more focused on the profit they gained from a repo then wondering how and why this lady has a signed title.
This is next level not being able to afford the bills. How could the repo not exceed the value of the vehicle?
Thanks to people like Richard Rowlings and other shysters, these trucks are 10k or more all day long.
No respect on this one. There is some hinky shit going on and you just took sides. Could possibly even open yourself up to a lawsuit regardless of "having repo papers" plus I'm amazed you didn't get met at the business end of a shotgun!

Now that’s a tow truck! Wow it’s a beauty
About 30 years ago i was (briefly) a one ton wrecker operator. As far as securing a steering wheel, I was taught to do a simple hitch with a rope, pinch it in the front of the door jamb and do a simple knot to keep it from going slack. Seems a lot simpler than messing with a ratchet strap.
I actually keep a rope like this in my truck, but I wasn’t in my truck.
I used to pick up junk cars when I had my wrecker. I'd just use an old fan belt looped through the steering wheel and closed in door jam. I like Dustin's use of the ratchet strap better though.....
Having one of those old "The Clubs" and jamming it in a spot where it wont move will hold the steering wheel straight as ever.
I just used to carry an old fan belt...loop it through the steering wheel and through itself; pull out the slack and secure it in the door jamb.
No gun play is always a good day for a repo pick-up
That’s not very common, unlike what you see on TV.

I had to do that with a car I sold once gave the dude a year to change it over and he kept getting me in trouble with his city eventually the fines cost me more then he paid for the car so I went and took it back
Yep. That what a lot of people don’t understand. You’re still legally responsible for it if they don’t change the title over
The interesting thing about 47 year old trucks is that they are going UP in value.... A brand new truck, is going straight down.
That’s what so many in the comments section don’t understand

Once the bank issues the repo order there's nothing the owner can do about it because its a issue with the RO and the bank or the private seller
Not sure about the law in TX but all they had to do in CA is close and lock the driveway gate and it's inacessible W/O a court order to enter the property. but that dang pallet banging like a shotgun didn't help
The law is the same in Texas. Can’t force entry if the vehicle is locked in private property.
How much was the repo cost? You repo'd 4 wheels of scrap metal. Man. Oh. Man.
They'll be telling everyone the truck was stolen. Yee! Haa! Stay safe.
