Countersign Affidavit of Title Made Easy

Group title release

- Just going to New Jersey Motor Vehicles can be a nightmare. But I, I double down and cause this problem myself. Sheer stupidity. Hi, I'm Nancy at Kneble's Auto Service Center. Something as simple as changing a title into my name, after buying a used vehicle, turned into a fiasco. Which was kindly pointed out to me, it isn't the first time I did this. Thanks Fred, I really didn't need to know that. Save yourself from this problem. The seller filled out her name on the back portion of the title, and I signed my name on the back as the buyer. No problem, I'm still in the clear. Here's where the error happened. On the back of the title in addition to the sellers name and address and the buyers name and address, it asks for the odometer reading. Now I put the mileage in the space, and to my haste I checked off the box below. That states, "I herby certify to the best of my knowledge "the odometer." Bingo, that's all I read. I never continued reading the sentence where it goes on to say, "The odometer has exceeded it's mechanical limit "and the reading started to zero." Really? I couldn't have finished reading. I was in such a rush, only for the cashier at motor vehicles to kindly point this error out to me. She said, "Being this is a title is a legal document "and you cannot alter it." The only way to correct my stupidity is now have the person who sold me the car sign a Title Correction Form and have it notarized, which that can cost money. I can't believe I did this. Now thank good my seller was local, but can you imagine if you had to go track your seller down in another state? My seller was very kind and she quickly filled out the form and got it notarized at our local bank. It truly could have been so much more aggravating and stressful and who wants that. Don't shoot from the hip, like I'm told I do. Spend time reading before you sign something, especially if it's a legal document. Prevent problems before they occur.
