Default Strange legal mess - boat.

Clams, it would seem sensible that, since you weren't there and can prove
it, that should be enough.

But I saw a post on some blog the other day that court is not about
justice, it's about who can win.

Good luck.

Off topic tax registration/tax story follows:

I sold a Yamaha motoscooter. Filed the appropriate DMV paperwork. DMV
sent me a registration bill about nine months later.


When my father died, my brother and sold his car to one of my co-workers.
When the personal property tax bill arrived, we paid the tax on his truck
(which my son now drives) and sent a note to Northampton County, Va.,
saying that the car had been sold and moved out of state, DMV had been
properly notified, and asking if tax was still owed.

Six months later, in the spring of this year, I got a tax notice for the
personal property tax PLUS late fees and interest.

I sent in the payment, along with a copy of the original note, and letter
saying politely that, after they waited six months to respond to my
inquiry, it seemed to me that charging ME a late fee was inappropriate.

A month later, the county refunded the entire amount.

I was shocked.
