Complaint Review: Central Collection Unit of Maryland

 The Maryland MVA would not let me register my new vehicle advising I had to arrange payment first of over 4, 000 to the Central Collection Unit. I had not owned a car in the last 10 years and this was my first notice of this debt. When they told me the debt was on a truck owned by an ex-boyfriend I told them he had left 12 years ago. Apparently I had been listed as co-owner. After we split he had let the insurance lapse and not turned the tags in. I advised I had signed the title over to him when he left. The CCU would not give me any information as not my debt. They want me to agree to take over his debt on videotape before making any payment arrangement. This is like being screwed over again by him 12 years later. I did not do anything wrong and had no way to know about this or prevent it. Yet I have no alternative but am being forced to take on a debt I do not owe in order to be allowed to drive in Maryland.
