clear title (Consumer Law & Fraud)

Tue, 19 Nov 2002 21:24:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? New Jersey
We live in nj, but privately purchased a motorcycle from a guy in ny. my son bought the bike for $5000 i checked it out and thought everything was fine. when he went to get title,registration, etc. they said it didn't have a clear title. when we talked to the guy at first he said there was a mistake at the bank, with further investigating i found he still owed on the bike. now my son has the bike but can't get the title until the guy pays off his loan. he is stalling and i tried to get the police involved but they say I have to take it to court. i tried the borough's clerk they said it was over small claims $ and would have to get a lawyer. where do i go from here? i tried to press charges but i'm not getting any help. please someone steer me in the right direction. i feel like i let my son down, i didn't think the guy could sell the bike and give him a title without actually owning the bike.
please help.
