A Mercedes, A Lawyer, Unpaid Tickets, District of Columbia Sued
Did I Get Your Attention?
The District is being sued by the lienholder of a Mercedes-Benz that was impounded for unpaid parking tickets and then sold at auction for less than half its value, without any warning to creditors. Ten months after selling Stephen Yelverton's Mercedes SLK350, the District finds itself the defendant in a federal lawsuit, potentially being forced to pay thousands more than the vehicle was worth.

Case in point - any US jurisdiction - creditors repossess a car and it is damaged to an extent of 'less than half its value.**' It is later sold at auction for the lesser amount. The creditor then has the legal right to collect the difference from the debtor. Most of the time it isn't easy to do but judgments are handed down every day in cases like this. * - Car value books are only a guideline reference, not at all a hard and fast rule ** - "VALUE" of a car is whatever anyone will pay for it, again not a hard and fast rule. BUT, when legal actions are in play (purchase contract, lien, impounding and auction - but especially the lien) contractual obligations must be met. If the city sold this car WITHOUT satisfying the lien, they wrong and their legal dept. knows it.
