title problem

[marinetanker]

I boutght a truck from a guy dirt cheap. The title wasnt ever sighned over to him properly. Then he sold it to me and now i got a truck that is in excelant condition and want to start driving it but cant get it titled. Im in NC the title holder and title are from oregon. And the guy who sold it to me is in texas and ive tried for the last 4 years to get a hold of them. i tried to send the title and the money already and got a letter back saying i need a form to remove the guys name that i bought it from, basicly as if the titled guy sold it to me with no middle man. But the persons name who sighned it in error(the guy i bought it from) has toi be the one to sighn it. Since i cant get a hold of him this dosent help either. ANY SUGGESTIONS? can i get a nother truck with a good title for cheap and swith some stuff?
