Problem title transfer

[Gene]

Hello everyone,
Iam new here.


I just buy a used travel trailer Dutch man 24 feet from a middle man on craigslist.

He gave me the original title from previous owner. Problem is on the " Bill Of Sale " he signed his name as a seller.

So, when I go to tax county ( Orlando orange county) to tranfer. They refused to do it and said bill of sale is illegal.

The worst part is the lady at title tranfer office wrote a note on the original title that "the buyer try to tranfer with different seller name".

Then she printed out the new Bill of Sale and required signature of the owner name (on the original title) also with his driver's license copy.

Now, I am stuck because the owner and the seller moved out of state. There is noway to contact them.
Did someone have any experience like this and how to solved this problem?
Any help, please? Thankyou.

I can't help with this but am sorry that you are having trouble.

Is it possible the trailer was stolen? Did you have the VIN checked before purchasing?
It just sounds fishy to me that both the original owner and seller have moved out of state and can no longer be found.

Alabama used to be a "no tittle" state. Maybe you can work something out up there.

Curious if you have sorted this problem out yet and what was the outcome?
