File a police report.
Some common signs are... Lack Of License Plates Vin numbers scratched off and/or VIN stickers removed. Any ID stamps on engine parts scratched off.
When your car is 'stolen", you file a stolen car report with the cops. Then your INSURANCE will pay off the loan. The lender will deal with the insurance co. and alls well. You dont have a car, but no payments either. BTW, the insurance co. HAS to be sure its stolen or they wont pay the loan off.
In illinois, what is the law concerning license plates taken off your car that you sold privately?
none
Not possible to report them stolen unless they go jacked off in a car lot
Online car data checks are very useful to anyone who is considering purchasing a used car. These checks will reveal whether the car has been stolen, written off, or has an outstanding loan on it.
IF the car was stolen, reported as stolen to the cops, the ins. should be paying the loan off. IF the ins. co. does not think the car is stolen, they wont pay and its as if the car was NOT stolen. So, you have to pay notes and insurance on the collateral. Bottom line??? HELP the ins. prove it was stolen and the problem will go away. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
You are allowed to remove personals that ARE NOT attached to the vehicle. The license plates stay with you, not the vehicle.
Not if the car belongs to you. The license plate isn't sold with the car. You take it off before you sell it.
only the registered owner of the vehicle can report it stolen. If the kid took off with the parent's car, it is still not stolen...it's considered "taken without permission" because it is known who has the car. this can also be reported to the pd.
Try asking your local dmv.
You can transfer your license plates from one car to another, in the state of Illinois. You must be the owner of the vehicle the license plate is being transferred to.
