Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

I purchased a 1997 vehicle on 3/15/13 from a used car dealer. Paid in full with check that has cleared. To date I have not received the title, nor has the title transfer been made available to the DMV- in 4 days the second (and final) temporary tag will expire, & the dealer has still not been forthcoming. What recourse do I have?

Also, be sure to tell the dealer that you are contacting the Georgia Used Car Board to ask that the dealer be fined up to $500 for not getting title and tags done within 30 days as mandated by law (and start the complaint TODAY): http://sos.georgia.gov/plb/usedcar/complaint.htm .
