I actually feel sorry for this person. It sounds as of they’re getting properly fucked by bureaucracy and ended up in SovCit while looking for a solution, as opposed to starting there and causing their own problems. They’re not trying to
- Not have a driver’s license
- Cancel a debt
- Repudiate contracts or documents
They’re just trying to have a car. At worst, they’re simply kind of dumb for not having things lined up, but there were times in my life when I was just as discombobulated.
I agree. This poor schlub did a Google search (“no license or birth certificate”) and a bunch of sovcit pages popped up. It’s an example of why this shit is toxic to people in general.
I’ve never been in such a situation, so I’m genuinely curious how this plays out. Can they really say this after all the paperwork has been signed? Isn’t this something they should have checked before selling him the car or approving the loan? Is this actually his problem or is he getting bullied by the lender?
The sale contract with the dealership probably has some language like “contingent on final approval from the loan company,” and the lender probably has their own rules about only approving loans for people with a valid driver’s license. The dealership should know those rules, but I think this person is getting caught in the very unfortunate but definitely real bureaucratic nightmare where it’s often your own responsibility to know that someone who you believe knows the rules better than you is wrong.
That said, everything up to the last few sentences sounds like they’re trying to do things the right way, but if they try using One Weird Trick™ to keep possession of the car they’re probably going to cause much bigger problems for their future self.
Kinda weird Georgia requires a full Birth Certificate for a Driver’s License and doesn’t take another state’s at least provisionally.
The problem is likely that Georgia only offers driver’s licenses that fully comply with the Real ID law while the poster might not have gotten the Colorado driver’s license when Colorado offered Real ID driver’s licenses.
OIC. My state still allows for plain old Drivers Licenses. Though I have a feeling disenfranchisement is a feature, not a bug for Georgia’s decision to do it that way…
Is this really a thing moving interstate in the US ? Holy batshit insane there the . More so then his ramblings.
In Australia, taken in proof of new address along with interstate licence, get new photo taken on the spot,. few days later, new license.
And you really can’t own a car without a licese, why ??? What if you don’t drive but the wife does becase you lost yours ?
I have never purchased a vehicle on finance, so I have no idea what the go is in Australia I guess.
