Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Assuming payments on a used car

I assumed payments on a used car. I have signed a contract with the lein holder. The contract states that I assumed payments, but it dosent say when the payments are due or how much I have payed or what I still owe. The previous owners are refusing to reimberse me for the cost of the smog and still have not signed to car over to me, I have had the car for 3 months. The man I assumed payments from is a car referbisher and said that The repairs needed included a boot and a window motor. I took the car to a mechanic and the costs for the suposed boot is over $600 because the car needs a new axcel. This man knows about cars, so he lied about what the problems are. The lein holder has refused to help also.

California has a "strict liability" law that the seller always has to pay the costs of the smog repairs, without exception. You are entitled to this and more based on your facts.
