David vs. Goliath or Broker Tammy vs. Freddie Mac

Once upon a time, my husband returned from Germany after having served his country and went to the Georgia DMV to get a new Georgia Driver's License.  His previous Georgia license had expired while he was out of the country.  He did have a valid California Drivers License as that had always been his "home" address while in the ARMY.

When the lady at the DMV entered his data, she said "Sir, we can not issue you a license since you were driving in New York without insurance". 

Donald said, "I've never been in New York."

Lady said, "Sir, we can not issue you a license since you were driving in New York without insurance". 

Donald said, "What do I need to do to take care of this, I have never set foot in New York, it wasn't me"

Lady said, "Sir, we can not issue you a license since you were driving in New York without insurance". 

Donald said, "Mam, I'm trying to get a job with the state, who can I talk to so that I can get a Georgia Driver's License."

Lady said, "Sir, we can not issue you a license since you were driving in New York without insurance". 

It took a few phone calls, and a few days to get the state of New York to fax documentation that the gentleman with the same name as my husband, but a different year of birth and different social security number to Georgia to clear the issue.

Well that lady MUST not work in Georgia anymore.  She must work for Freddie Mac now.  I have been working on getting titles to a manufactured home foreclosed on by Freddie Mac last December for weeks now.

I spent hours on the phone yesterday hearing.

"Mam, it's under $50,000. We're not going to transfer the titles"

WHAT? 

"Mam, it's under $50,000. We're not going to transfer the titles"

My buyers loan cannot be funded without title transfer.

 "Mam, it's under $50,000. We're not going to transfer the titles"

Do you even care?

"Mam, it's under $50,000. We're not going to transfer the titles"

My buyer and his wife and 4 kids gave notice where they rent and may have to live under a bridge if you don't transfer the titles.

"Mam, it's under $50,000. We're not going to transfer the titles"

Well after about 50 emails and two dozen phone calls to different people at this attorney and that attorney and other people at Freddie Mac.  Lady sent me the following email:

 Spoke with DC and they are in the process of getting a copy of the title. Call me if you need me.

Thank you and have a great day.

I don't know who or what DC is, but early this morning the attorneys office called me to get the title numbers and VIN numbers so they can order duplicate titles and transfer them for closing. :)  I even got a two week extension so they can get this done.

I'm feeling a little like David. 

When dealing with the federal government, I have discovered, throw reason and logic to the wind and beg.
