Description

This appeal arises out of proceedings wherein the respondents sought an injunction to prevent the appellants from obtaining a repossessed title to a truck. The issue presented for our ruling does not deal with the propriety of the trial court's action in refusing to grant the relief requested, and accordingly, our statement of the factual situation will be very brief. The parties will hereafter be referred to by their designation in the trial court. The plaintiffs had purchased a ""Mister Softee"" truck from the corporate defendant. They had paid $4,500.00 down and had given their note secured by a chattel mortgage for the balance due of $10,217.00. This note and chattel mortgage had been sold by the corporate defendant to a finance company. The plaintiffs had been unable to keep the truck in operation, and the defendant Miller had arranged for the plaintiffs to lease the truck to the defendant Evans. The provisions of the lease are not pertinent. Evans got behind in his payments under this lease and also owed money to the defendant Miller. The source of Evans' indebtedness to Miller does not appear. The plaintiffs were persuaded to execute a new note and chattel mortgage by which they borrowed an additional $3,000.00 and loaned this sum to Evans so that he could pay Miller and pay them the arrearage due them under the lease. This note was for the amount of $5,276.26 which was the total of the amount Miller told the plaintiffs they owed under the old note, interest, and the $3,000.00. At the same time plaintiffs executed a new lease to Evans by which the payments were increased to retire this new indebtedness. This arrangement is not an issue in this appeal. The plaintiffs did not receive any of this $3,000.00. Evans became in arrears again, and this resulted in the plaintiffs being unable to make their payments to the finance company. That organization, having purchased the plaintiffs' note from the defendant corporation with recourse, made demand upon the corporate defendant. It does not appear that the corporate defendant ever paid off the plaintiffs' note to the finance company, although it does appear that the note and chattel mortgage were reassigned to the corporate defendant who then repossessed the truck. The corporate defendant then entered into negotiations with Mister Softee of Los Angeles, Inc., culminating in the truck being sent to California. Upon demand by the California organization for the title to the truck, the defendant corporation requested the proper authorities in this state to issue a repossessed title to the truck in the defendant corporation's name. Having been notified by the Department of Revenue of this state that it intended to issue title the plaintiffs brought their action to enjoin the defendants for making application and securing such a title. As to the individual defendants, the plaintiffs' theory was fraud. The plaintiffs had never received title to the truck. They had paid some $10,400.00 on those two notes or some $200.00 over the amount due on the original note plus a down payment of $4,500.00.
