ARRRRRRRRRGH! Just have to vent....
So, when my MIL died we had to wait for the probate time lapse of 8 months before I could title her car she left me in her will. Ok. Time's up for the window of debtors to make a claim on the estate, so near the end of December we take care of it. Go through DMV's hellacious cattle line and finally get to someone who takes care of the title. Pay the 15 dollar title fee and they'll mail it. No problemo or so I thought. Lady says if you don't see the title by the end of January, give us a call. That's odd. I've never had to wait more than 10 days before. But ok.
Jan 31 rolls around, no title yet. So today I call SCDMV like they said- (the following pretty close transcript of the phone call to Ukraine...no, wait, SCDMV...keep getting them mixed up) - Well....turns out they mailed the new title to me on January 2nd. But I never got it. Their records show that the Post office never sent it back to DMV, so they assume that I got it. But I never received it. That's why I am calling. But USPS never sent it back to us. Yeah, but they never sent it to me either. But you should have it. Um, why would I need to be calling if I already had it? Ok, what do I do now? You have to check with the post office and see if they still have it. Ok, but then, what if they tell me they don't have it? Then you'll have to stop in person to a DMV office and speak to the supervisor of that office. WTF? Like how is this MY problem to fix someone else's F.U. all of a sudden?
It's been a long time since I got a title for a car through DMV. So they have this thing now that you have to pay $20 on TOP of the regular title fee if you want it printed out while you wait. Well, let me tell those mother****ers right now that homie ain't going NOWHERE until they print me out a title while I wait. Even if I have to pay again for it, I don't give a **** because that's what I'm going to do. This is total BULL SHIIT. I feel like I just the same as if I had a problem with a Brother's Automotive Parts order. No matter what happens, it's the customer's fault and problem to solve.
If it wasn't for the fact that I'm afraid someone would be able to forge my name on the lost title and the new "owner" legally take the car from me, I'd just not worry about it and maybe get a duplicate title one day down the road. My luck the cops would show up with the new "owner" saying they had the legit title and I couldn't prove anything.
