Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Apr 25,1013
Question:
Do i owe the franchise tax board for the registration of an RV that was in my chapter 7?
Im not sure if this is a bankrupcy,or a consumer legal question
I filed and sucessfully completed a ch 7 last june 2012.
We stopped making payments on our rv and the atty said the bank/creditor would contact us about picking it up and It may take several months for them to do so. (btw its still at our home apr 2013)
Heres the issue:I received a couple past due notices for the registration that was due sept 2012,but ignored them due to the completed bankrupcy which included the RV in question.
I just received a notice from ca state franchise tax board informing me they would garnish my wages if I didnt pay the registrationpast due w/ penalties.
I went into a local franchise tax board and presented the issue ,as Ive explained ,to them. They said it didnt matter,and that I owed the Registration plus penalties and if I delay any further they will attach or garnish my wages.
I was not aware I was obligated to pay the Registration after it expired sept 2012,since I had filed ch 7 in June,and was granted in the ch 7 . Oh..incidently...The date of the finilization of the ch 7 may have been after the due date of the registration.
Thank you
Sincerely,
I M Estupido

FTB is right. As long as you are record owner of the vehicle you owe the registration on it.
