Alright, so it’s been a bit since I last posted on this topic. Here’s the update so far.
On Friday the 10th, I filed a complaint with the DOL concerning the matter, and then the next morning the 11th, I sent the towing company a certified letter explaining that they cannot hold me liable for this vehicle and included photocopies of the various documents saying that I filed my Report of Sale and it is valid.
So, I waited. Hopefully I’d either hear from the DOL and we’d move on from there based on what they said, or I’d hear from the towing company and hopefully they’d back off. Neither of which happened. So I waited a bit more.
Anyway, come Friday the 24th (two weeks after submitting the complaint), I call up the DOL to ask about the status of my complaint. Apparently they didn’t have my complaint on file. So I give the gal my email address, the email’s subject, the date at which I sent it, and she managed to find it. Apparently they’re transitioning from one group handling this, to another group, and some things are being missed.
Anyway, later that day I received an automated email from their systems saying it had been received, so hopefully at this point it’s being tracked a bit better. Anyway, It’s now been about a week since then, so I’ll wait till early to mid next week and reach out to them again to see where we’re at. It’s dealing with the DOL, so that’s not the most fun, but at this point, I’m not sure what else I can do short of the even less fun option of getting a lawyer involved. So, we’ll see where it goes.
