If you live in the United States, your state has an agency in the tax collector's office or department of motor vehicles that keeps those records. You should contact them. If they tell you to come in, bring your paperwork.
Could be a mechanics lien.
Can a collection agency place a lien on a home belonging to a spouse not on title?
Forever. But what you can do is ask for a release of lien from the dealer. Once you get a release of lien from the dealer, you go threw the normal titled process in your state to obtain a lost title.
Do you have title? Check title to see if lien has been released Check with RMV/DMV to see if lien has been released
you will have to find out who has a lein on it have them fill out a fourm of lein satisfy. In most states a lien holder is recorded on the title and the lien holder will keep the title until the lien is paid off. After the lien holder is paid off, they will sign the title to release the lien and give/send the title to the owner. The title office can tell you who has a lien on the title.
This would depend on where you areNot in Alberta CanadaAnother AnswerThere is no value in filing a lien on a customer's driving license. In order to file a lien, a judgment must be granted by a court for an amount due. The lien is filed against an asset, such as the automobile and its title.
Contact your DMV. They have record of this. If you took out a loan on the car when you bought it, the dealer or the bank documented that they were the lien holder. When you finally pay off your car, the bank will mail you the title. If you have the title, but still think you owe money on the car, contact DMV and find out if it's documented.
No. You don't get a title with any liens against it. Even if you do, it becomes null and void in the face of a legally binding lien.
A lien title means that the car has a loan against it. If you do not have a "clear" or non lien title, the lender who hold the clear title can and does have the right to get the balance of the loan from you. The purpose of the lien title is to enable the car buyer to get the legal requirement for driving the car from the state. It's like renting the car in essence; the lien title is almost like the lease agreement for an apartment.So if a lien title is all there is...don't buy the car. It's not his to sell.Somebody has to settle the lien before you can legally own or register the vehicle.
NOMO is not a title-holding state. What that means is: the owner of the vehicle holds the title in hand whether or not there is a lien against it, (unless the lien holder insists on having the title in their possession).
They will be listed as having a lien on the title. Check the purchase contract carefully to see what their rights are.
No, if the car does not have a lien, then the dealer has no legal interest in it.I'm not sure why a dealer would even try to repo something they had no legal interest in.
