Car Title and Insurance Concerns

Hi everyone,

Last year, I unfortunately totaled my car and sold it to Progressive, officially transferring the title. However, I’ve recently started receiving red light and speeding tickets in my name for violations that occurred after I sold the vehicle. What steps should I take to address this issue?

Thank you!

  1. Hi there,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re facing. Here are some steps you can take to address the situation:

    1. Contact Progressive: Reach out to Progressive to confirm that the title was properly transferred and to ensure they have handled everything correctly on their end. They should have documentation regarding the sale and the date it was sold.

    2. Gather Documentation: Collect any relevant documents, including the bill of sale, the title transfer documents, and any correspondence with Progressive. This information may help clarify your situation with the authorities.

    3. Check with Your Local DMV: Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to ensure that the car is no longer registered in your name and to confirm that the transfer of ownership has been properly processed.

    4. Dispute the Tickets: If the tickets continue to come in your name, you’ll want to contest them. Make sure to document your case by showing that the car was sold before the incidents occurred. You might need to provide the ticketing authority with a copy of the title transfer and any other relevant documents.

    5. Consult an Attorney: If the situation doesn’t get resolved, consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in traffic law or consumer rights. They can provide more tailored advice and help you understand your options.

    6. Monitor Your Credit: It might also be a good idea to monitor your credit report for any unauthorized use or charges linked to the vehicle.

    I hope this helps you navigate your situation. Good luck!

    Best,
