Sunridge RV filed for bankruptcy last month walking away from $10 million in debt and some customers have been able to claim their trailers from the locked up lot but others have not been quite as fortunate.

Leah Elliott is being forced to pay for an RV that Sunridge sold to another customer.

Elliott is the owner and registered debtor on the title for the 2011 trailer but Sunridge's bankruptcy trustee says he's giving it to someone else next week because it was bought just days before the dealer went bankrupt.

Elliott traded the trailer in to Sunridge for a new one at the beginning of February and that's when the dealer contracted to pay off her $24,000 loan to RBC.

Sunridge didn't pay then and also didn’t pay a month later and when the dealer had the purchase money in hand from the new buyer, the cash was put in its own bank account.

The details are contained in a letter from the bankruptcy trustee and yet RCMP tells Elliott that there's nothing to investigate.  

“How, with dates and times and how your paperwork works, I don't understand how the system not can just allow it to happen but to see it blatantly before their eyes and still nothing on my behalf to be done,” said Elliott.

An RCMP spokeperson confirmed to CTV Calgary Consumer Specialist Lea Williams-Doherty that while dealers do have a legal obligation to pay off liens before reselling vehicles, it comes from contractual law, not criminal law so unless intent to steal that money is apparent, RCMP won't investigate.

According to the provincial auto regulator, AMVIC, there is no law it enforces prohibiting dealers from selling vehicles with liens still attached however, if a dealer fails to disclose the existence of a lien to a buyer or if it fails to pay off a lien as promised to a seller, AMVIC will get involved.

AMVIC is now investigating Sunridge RV, but Elliot says it's too little too late.
