My fiancee is here in Nova Scotia, w/in 8yrs of retirement, and his credit is a DISASTER; I live below the poverty level on less than $600/mo on Disability, Supplemental Social Security, in govt. subsidized housing in America, can’t afford to turn my heat on, don’t have a car and my credit is EQUALLY BAD. As he is in the hotel field and I have a degree in it and could start into the field within a year, I might be able to work within a year or 2. Due to donations, we have the basics for a wedding (will need rings) but ONE of us CLEARLY needs to relocate and WE NEED MONEY ADVICE!!! WHERE DO WE LOOK, WHO DO WE GO TO? Our banks? HELP!!! We come from poor, long gone families that can’t help, and I have preteen children that I don’t have custody of, but are with me, from time to time. We have citizenship issues to consider, too. Where do we go for advice?

We Sold A Car With Frame Damage, Have A Title Mess, What Now?
We recently sold a car as a “parts car”, being honest–we had a clear title, it was an old car with the frame rusted through. The buyer came with a tow device, and said he wanted to buy the car as a donor car for another car he had.
The first red flag was, he said he was a notary, and notarized the title himself. We don’t know if he filled in his name on the title–we had never sold a car this way.
Anyway, he bought the car (for very little money), and I called the DMV being nervous about the damaged frame–they told me I could be held liable if this guy sells the car to be on the road, and I should get a copy of the title and junk it, to protect myself and others.
When I called the guy, he said he thought the damage wasn’t that severe and wanted to repair the car (it’s a uniframe, 15 yr old car, the frame shop told us it couldn’t be made safe by welding the frame–a new frame would cost far more than the car is worth).
This car shouldn’t be on the road–what do we do now?
