Yeh and then at the end Harvey said it wasn’t done properly?

@@Mocharocks9966 Exactly...I hate to hear that she is still in limbo. The judge should've just written the letter, so it would be handled.

@@shannontrent9228she legit said at the end on top of them writing the letter I’ll write one as the Judge verifying the findings regardless. So she did and you can’t assume it was the company who messed up the paperwork and not the lady who got herself into the mess.

My car was stolen. I had the same Insurance Geico. I told police I would pay for them to bring my car to me when found. I called every day and I got the run around about how they were still searching. A few weeks go by and my insurance adjustors tells me they found my car the very next day. That they told the police and sent out a letter. Straight bull and the letter didn't come until after I found and called the tow yard by going through strenuous pass a long numbers to call😢

I believe them about him asking for money. You can tell the owner is greedy.

@wvrjl Definitely. He asked for money to just write a letter for crying out loud. Glad Judge M. enacted a court order for the letter to be written for free.

Now I don't even want to scroll the comments until after the verdict..the suspense

​@@1991Mekaright lol

Ummmm....did you hear what Harvey said at the end? The letter that the plaintiff needed was done improperly, so she couldn't get the bus license she needed. In the end she got no justice.

Right once he admitted it I knew they were getting the runaround

EXACTLY

I don't know how they could possibly legally release the plates to them, when neither of the plaintiffs are the ownerr. The judge looked at the ownership and it was in somebody else's name. All she has is the boyfriend's word that it belongs to his son's mother, who he apparently doesn't speak with anymore. It could be stolen for all the judge knows. She should have immediately turned them away unless they had some proof from the actual owner that the car was actually theirs. IF the car was theirs, that means they jumped the title. If they jumped the title, I don't know how they could even have insurance on the car. A whole bunch of things the judge just slid right by.

you clearly didn't see that the plaintiff gave the judge the title with their name in it.@@wvrjl

​@wvrjl What do you mean? The plaintiff had the title in her name, AND it is registered to her. They hand her the title at 10:33. The judge says, "Yeah, she's got the title".

cause she was bothering me not explaining well

I hear you, but I see it the other way too. People come with their story ready and drawn out to tell the judge, she has to wade through that to get to the actual facts that are pertinent. Hence the cutting off

@@poppaexo yep I get it

She has to pull out pertinent information. In this case, however, how does she know the car isn't stolen??? Any stolen car will havevthe ownership in the glove box, and the car is NOT in their name. Either they jumped the title (so how could they even have insurance if they don't talk to the owner?) or THEY stole the car. How would the judge know??? And she slid right by that.

I kinda agree with letter for payment of tow/vehicle storage that they never paid. If I towed a vehicle, then stored it for a minimum of 1-3 months, I'd have demanded payment for what I've done for you and the city before of my free will I do anything else for you. That being said I'd probably give the letter after a court order. But I agree it was a complicated case, but I'm not a lawyer...(and probably just ignorant 🤣).

​@@MR.Drowsy158 they have a contract with the city, they should take it up with them.

Towing company needs to make their money just like every other business. The car sat there taking up space for over a year Therefore, they couldn't put another car. That was actually to make them money in that space That's why they Want their money.

@@perfectlyimperfect9129 After a certain amount of time it's considered abandoned and they can do what they want with it. They should know their business enough to know that. This is all on them and their own negligence. They should take it up with the government they have a contract with, not the plaintiff.

@@marthal8862 They do know that, which is something they actually explained at 9:48. "We have to wait for 907 paperwork, that gaves us owernship". Hell, even as you said, they have a contract with the government which means they have more paperwork and restrictions. I've worked for the government; something that would normally be a two step thing becomes a ten step thing once the government gets involved.

Her job is to be entertaining, which sometimes comes at the expense of clarity. The plaintiff did minimal effort to find the car. When she ran into some road blocks she said “meh it’s totaled anyway, no harm nor foul.” The police sent the notice to wrong address. When plaintiff later found out she would be charged insurance she found the tow truck company. The tow truck company was unreasonable about the letter and plates.

Yes, it’s so annoying.

ALL ourt tv judges do it. They interrupt and cutoff (even demean), the litigants for entertainment value, brevity and try to make the cases more interesting. Also, most of these judges are Type A personalities. This is probably what got them to the big stage in the first place, at least in part.

​@cdog4100 She didn't do minimal effort. They wouldn't tell her where the car was, and kept giving her the runaround. As soon as it's in their possession, they should tell you, but they don't. They just keep on stringing you along for some strange reason.

Dude, she doesn’t even let her husband finish talking. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of the backstage interviews during Covid but he can’t get two words in before she cuts him off man.

I hate when a person keep saying the same thing over and over again but still watches her

Except she DOES get paid for that time. A lot!

Especially at the end when it proved that this company is run by a sleazeball trying to scam and charge them $421 for a letter..smh..

Omg!!!! I literally said this the other day and someone else agreed with me!

TOTALLY AGREE!! She can def sound like she needs to be the smartest person in the room. "How's that work for you?" "You don't give the money in one hand without the receipt in the other---just grab a crayon and toilet paper..." *Your Honor, I gave him the money, I TRUSTED him/didn't know I would be in court/list that phone* "And you trusted him?? Watch this *she turns to the other Litigant*--Did he give you the money?" I know she was a prosecutor, and she's operating as both the Judge and the Litigator of the case. In addition, she's got to keep people on topic---how many times do they take a" Mr. Toad's Wild Ride"explanation? Judge Mathis can be vulgar, Judy can act like it's HER money she's giving those she rules for, Joe Brown is a Boss with his "Man Training" lol, and Alex is the most level-headed. Yeah, I love me some judge shows!!

@@mneekifulor can you quit bobble heading! Like lady….. ppl are allowed to nod or shake their head in agreement or disagreement!! 🙄

It kills me when she does that! She will ask you a question and in the middle of your explanation she will interrupt you to ask another question. It’s like WTF!

😂😂😂 I think she enjoys yelling

Sounds like. I'm in Virginia, and I'm not even sure what she would need, besides a written statement from the arbitrator of record, as to what happened. Should she have been a little more diligent and involved BEFORE it affected her license quite a while later? Yes. But, it should not be rocket surgery for her to get it cleared up.

do they not have to pay for the tow yard holding their car for so long? i thought that he was saying that he wouldn’t write the letter bc they didn’t pay for the “storage” of the vehicle. i may have misheard or misunderstood lol i was under the impression that they had to pay them for holding the car due to other cases i’ve seen but maybe it’s different if the car was part of an accident investigation & then they don’t have to pay?

YUP, just like Fiancé said. What a racket SMH.

@@Kayla-rd5jd they don't have to pay for it being on the lot for so long, but the owner was being petty about it because it's been there for so long.

That makes sense, except the police didn’t have possession of it. It was in a tow company’s possession. Surely that leads to all sorts of issues with the chain of evidence, if that was what they were trying to protect

​@@redapol5678 🗣🗣🗣🗣 The police and tow companies are ABSOLUTELY in CAHOOTS.. PERIOD.. I CAN'T STAND HOW THESE JUDGES.. ARE STILL PRETENDING LIKE THE POLICE AREN'T IN CAHOOTS WITH.. THESE CROOKED TOW COMPANIES... THE WHOLE RING IS DISGUSTING.

@@INDIGO.GODDESS_573 thanks for shouting at me. Wouldn’t have been able to hear you otherwise 🙃

Also, the car wasn't even in her name. There is no way the tow company just wrote NY by accident, and the identical NY plates just HAPPENED to be the previous owner of the car!! Come on! And when the judge finally looked at the title, the car WAS in another person's name. It could be stolen for all the judge knows. Most titles are in the glove compartment of the car, so any car they stole would have had the title in it. She SHOULD have turned them away (dismissed without prejudice) until they have proof it IS their car. At best, they jumped titles, so how could they even have insurance? I am NOT shocked they're still having issues.

​@@wvrjl Did you copy and past this incorrect response to every question??

Yep. I think I would have just went for an order to release the plates in exchange for the title, so the tow-yard could clear it off their property. I'm really surprised that there was not a counterclaim for storage fees, for leaving it so long. They probably would not collected, but surprised they did not try. Storage fees pile up fast. And the car was there a while.

​​@@scotthewitt258- Yes, I was surprised they didn't cross sue too. It's all the plaintiff's own fault. They clearly jumped the title (I have serious doubt they HAD insurance as it isn't in their name). The judge didn't catch it, but they said, "No, they wrote down NY instead of Virginia." And of everyone in NY, the identical plates JUST HAPPENED to be the previous owner of their car??? His son's mother?? Sure, right. She even saw the car was not in their name. So why was she helping them at all? That could be a stolen car for all she knows.

​@@wvrjl I saw your comment above and that was also incorrect. The lady has the title, as Judge Milian states in the video before the phone call. She then goes to the other set of papers (the letter they sent the Fiance's Baby Mother), and she says, "who is Aaliyah....." The Fiance's BabyMother's name was on the paper the tow-yard/DMV sent her. The plaintiff had the car in her name, had it registered AND had the title. If the title were in the Fiance's Baby's Mother's name the judge would've said that is why they did not get the notice, but it all came back clear when they handed her the documents.

That always irks me. Pretty sure she made millions per year off this show. And the filming schedule is very light.🙄

EXACTLY!!!!! That annoys the Hell out of me. Judge, you ARE paid for your time and aggravation; VERY well. It bothers me even more when Judge Judy says it, as she is paid millions of dollars every year, and she doesn't even do a good job, ignoring the law half the time, and dismissing without prejudice when a case is too complicated.

​@@elvickRULES- I read that she makes one million per year, but that is STILL plenty. Judge Judy, who also says it, is even worse, as I read that she males millions per year (I read $45 million per year).

I figured that would happen. They jumped titles. They normally wouldn't even get the plates back, as the title wasn't in their name. I don't know how they even had insurance that way.

Extremely rude

Then don't watch her

@@papawhelp I would like to see what you would do if the judge called you a bobble head 🤔🤔🤔

She called him a bobble head because he kept moving his head all over: nod, shake, nod, nod, shake...

no him...he was bobing his head all over...didnt u watch?

Aren't claim adjusters scammers to

Well, if you're a claims adjuster, apparently you missed the part where she only had liability insurance. There is no claim. Against what part of a liability only policy is she going to claim damages?

​​@@JeremiahLOsbornethey obviously aren't talking about THIS particular issue..they are talkin about what they see and notice, dealing with these tow companies all the time. And the tow people ARE scammers and WAS holding the car hostage for money

@@Shellygrrl2573 If you think that tow company was holding that car hostage, you didn't listen. It's not the tow companies responsibility to find the owner. In fact, they did what they needed to do, by the book. They didn't do anything wrong. The only reason that the plaintiff is here now was because she can't get her license back until she takes care of this situation. Who lets a tow yard keep your car for a year and a half? She was going to screw them over. She got into an accident, and they came and picked up her car. They did exactly what they were supposed to do. It's the plaintiff who failed, and because you didn't even listen to the case, you completely missed it. If you don't want to deal with a tow company, then don't have your car towed. If you need it towed, pick your own company, like a grown up. Don't let the cops do your job for you.

​@@JeremiahLOsborne WTF, are you NUTS?! She didn't have her car towed, it was STOLEN, and once the cops recovered it, they had the car towed to a lot. The innocent bystander (car owner) then has the unfortunate dilemma of having to pay upwards of $300 for getting their car stolen! They purposefully don't tell you where your car is so those fees can rack up.

When was the last time you saw an accountant that looked like that guy? I think that the towing businesses not as complicated as some other professions, so it tends to attract people who would be better off as tow truck drivers as opposed to accountants.

They r....

ya they did, the plaintiff's problem is with DMV now because there were errors in the paperwork. seperate issue.

@@inspyr9 the paper work the judge enforced they send though....the tow company could have purposefully done it wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

​@AmandaHof The letter from the tow company would have to be accompanied by some other paperwork. The impression I'm getting is that the plaintiff's paperwork contained an error, not the tow company. Maybe the application was submitted incorrectly?

It's ALL on the plaintiffs. They clearly jumped the title. Their story of NY vs Virginia made no sense. Suuure the person in NY with identical plates just happened to be the previous owner of their car - his son's mother??? I don't think so.

​​@@mandylynnhoff- No, the plaintiff's jumped the title. The tow company wouldn't know the previous owner of the car. Yet THAT was the name registered for the car (which also means it probably had no insurance, despite what they said). The plaintiff's story made ZERO sense. "They wrote down NY instead of Virginia," and the identical plates in NY just happened to belong to the previous owner of your car? Your son's mother?? The judge saw the title and it was in a 3rd parties' name. She only has the boyfriend's word that it belongs to his son's mother. And even if it does, who's to say they didn't steal it from her? He admitted that he doesn't speak with his son's mother anymore. Either they jumped the title (which makes having insurance difficult), or the car is stolen. Either way they have unclean hands and zero proof the car belongs to them.

😂😂😂

They weren't honest in court. They jumped the title. It was clearly in his exes' name, which was the previous owner of the car. The tow guy said that was the name attached to the tags. Their story of, "They wrote doen NY instead of Virginia" was bull. Sure, of everyone in NY, the person with identical plates JUST HAPPENED to be the former owner of the car, his son's mother???? Wow, what a coincidence!!

​@@wvrjl Watch the darn episode again! Loud and wrong!

Think that through, because their story made ZERO sense. The police / tow company wrote down NY instead of Virginia, and of ALLLLL the plates in NY, the IDENTICAL plates JUST HAPPENED to belong to the previous owner of the car??? His son's mother???? No! They clearly jumped titles. That's why the "paperwork wasn't filled out correctly."

The judge wasn't letting her 😒

They should have been turned away (without prejudice) because the title isn't in their name. Either they jumped titles or they stole the car. How could she possibly tell them they have a right to get the plates back when the car isn't even registered to them?? They clearly have nothing from the actual owner, saying that it is their car because the plaintiff's boyfriend isn't even talking to her anymore, he said. And that's if his story is true at all. It could just be a stolen car. It's actually ridiculous that the judge insisted the tow company release anything regarding the car, when the car is not theirs! In addition, If they jumped titles, then how could they have insurance on the car at all?

Lol love that whole spoiler alert 😂❤

A cluster . . . thingie, LOL.

I couldn’t either! And I watch twice! Ugh

Exactly!

I know I felt sorry for her! Thankfully her fiance was so calm and was able to get through to JM.

​@@jennifersilvestriSERIOUSLY. I like JMM but she needs to learn how to slow down and listen. Lay of the coffee ☕.

@@jennifersilvestri love having people like him on my side in stressful situations

Yes. But it happens all the time when cars are an accidents, and there's no hope of repairing them. The tow company has to fill out paperwork with the state, and the state will then declare the vehicle abandoned. Then the tow company can get rid of it.

@@JeremiahLOsborneor you can do like I did when my car was totaled. I released my interest in the car so that it didn’t create more hassles and unnecessary paperwork.

She didn’t have the accident… she was a victim of a crime. That is not the same thing. What if anything the the car thief have to pay?

@@bbayley3121 That's what she should have done from the very, very beginning. But she didn't take the time to figure out how it all works. The tow company can't just simply get rid of the vehicle without her permission, literally. She has to give them the title, and then they can junk the car. I mean, you're going to have to pay for the tow truck company to come and get your car from the scene of the accident. And then if they have to junk the car, you might have to pay some more money. But it's probably better than having a wrecked up car towed somewhere where you're going to have to either look at it all day long or pay to have it stored.

@@teeshante that is true. She was the victim of a crime. But that doesn't mean that she gets to leave her car wherever she wants to. The car got wrecked, and the police had to get rid of it. They couldn't just leave it wherever it was. So they called the tow company, and the tow company came and got it. Her insurance was not the right kind of insurance to fix her car when something like that happens. You have to pay extra for that, and she didn't. It is unfortunate for her, but given where she lives, if she were to have full coverage it would probably cost her double the amount of her insurance, which is probably already in the hundreds of dollars a month. I forgot. She can either sue the car thief, or if the car thief is convicted, the judge can order the thief to repay the victim.

Even though the tow co. Still didn’t give her the correct paperwork on purpose for money!

🤔

For the 50th time, The.Title.Is.In.Their.Name. The judge looked at the title and saw it was in her name, not that she had it, otherwise she would have mentioned it wasn't their name on the title. When she read the other person's name on the white sheet, that was the document the dmv sent to her

.No, it wouldn't have. Even if she hadn't abandoned the car, the tow company never stole & crashed their car. It's not their responsibility. Sometimes, you have to pay for things that weren't your fault; that's the world. In addition, the SUPPOSED tow company error made NO SENSE. The tow company wrote NY instead of Virginia (according to the plaintiff) and, of ALLLL the plates in NY, the identical plates JUST HAPPENED to belong to the car's "previous" owner, his son's mother???? Actually, the car is STILL registered to that third party. The judge asked to see the title and it DID have the "previous owner's" name listed as the owner! So how, if they have no contact with the previous owner (according to the boyfriend) can they POSSIBLY have insurance on it??? In fact, considering the car is not in their name, She legally should not have helped them at all. For all she knows, this car could be stolen. It's in a third party's name, and as far as I know, we have no proof showing that the car actually belongs to them. They should have been turned away.

Makes you wonder, don't it? Your car gets stolen, the police "find it", they don't call you first, they call a tow yard, and BAM. You're drained 300 bucks for someone stealing your property

Add to ur comment "everybody" forgets it's a 30 MINUTE episode so testimony has to be to the point. Milan really has no choice but to hurry testimony along to fit it into that time frame

?

While I agree about the letter, she SHOULD have asked to see the title. I would bet money it's still in his exes' name. The tow company said the letters went to the ex, which means they never bothered registering the car in their name. This BS about "they wrote NY instead of Virginia." Sure . . . the identical plates in NY just HAPPENED to belong to the previous owner of the car??? LMAO!! While I do like this judge, I can definitely name instances where I believe she was absolutely wrong. But mostly, she's right. Better than Judge Judy.

How is she to get it out when they wouldn't tell her what tow yard it was in, and they wouldn't tell her any information on it? Tow Yards and Police do things like that
