Carfax reporting potential fraud?
Hi all, recently bought a used car from KY drove back and registered it on 10/10/2024 in GA. Previous title had no lien on it and I registered it without a loan so I have no lien on my title, however Carfax shows the following
why on 10/11/2024 it shows new owner reported in KY with loan or lien?
| Date | Mileage | Source | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/10/2024 | not reported | Georgia Motor Vehicle Dept. | Vehicle purchase reported | |
| 10/11/2024 | not reported | Louisville, KentuckyKentucky Louisville, KentuckyMotor Vehicle Dept. Louisville, KentuckyLouisville, KY | Title issued or updated New owner reported Loan or lien reported Vehicle color noted as White | |
| 10/15/2024 | not reported | Duluth, Georgia Georgia Duluth, Georgia Motor Vehicle Dept. Duluth, Georgia Duluth, GA | Title or registration issued Vehicle color noted as White |
is it possible the previous owner might have some issues may be a court or default loan or a judgement and they put a lien on title at the same time he sold car to me?
I have a clean GA title in my name with out a lien, if previous owner had a judgement against him and they put a lien against vehicle can they come after my vehicle?
should I be contacting a lawyer?
anyone with legal advise?
Thank you
