Rosalind Wise took her husband's advice when he found a gently used 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee at The Car Spot.Wise loves her new/used vehicle, but has yet to receive her tag. That's because The Car Spot has seemingly closed.Used car dealers have 30 days in Georgia to process paperwork and transfer the title to its new owner. If the car is financed, the lender holds the title until the debt is paid.Temporary tags are good for 30 days. If a dealer falls behind, the buyer can request a 30-day extension, but in DeKalb - where Wise lives - one temporary tag extension is the limit.The Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division (CPD) confirmed Wise needs her title. The office provides steps to replace missing or lost titles online, but the process is time-consuming and may require a lawyer.Wise doesn't have time. Like other buyers, time is running out, and she can't afford to wait months for a new title. But if she drives with an expired tag, even with her paperwork and insurance coverage, she and other drivers could be stopped by police.Read more here: https://bit.ly/44BLaVn

Garibaldi claimed he didn't hire the demolition crew and instead is blaming his client.Cater disputes the claim and said Garibaldi left a disaster. Almost daily rains after crews removed the roof ruined everything inside the house. The damage forced Cater to move into his backyard shed.Read more here: bit.ly/3DrxUa5
