Confusing, but there are a number of scenarios where this might be possible.
First, if the lender is the lender on the vehicle, the ARE a lien holder. They may not have "perfected" the lien, that is registered it with the state, but that is an easy matter for them to rectify.
Second, if they are not the lender on the vehicle, and there is no other lien holder, provided they have a judgment, the court may order the surrender or sale of other property to satisfy the debt and the judgment.
Third, if you have two vehicles with the same lender, and you are defaulted on one but current on the other, the lender may choose to do what is called a"converson of collateral." If so, then the lender may repossess the vehicle you are current on due to the default on the other. They will take which ever vehicle is the esiest to recover in these situations.
The lienholder has no liability for any damage done by the buyers vehicle.
If there's a lienholder on that vehicle, yes, that lienholder can repossess it.
Yes. How many names are on the title and/or the loan means absolutely nothing... so long as there is a lien on that vehicle, that lienholder is the sole lawful owner of that vehicle, and can repossess it as recourse for delinquent payments.
Only if you have written permission from the lienholder.
Yes, taking out an auto loan means that there is a lienholder on the title of the vehicle. Once the loan is paid off, the lienholder is removed and it is owned free and clear.
Yes, it is against the law in Oklahoma to intentionally hide a vehicle from the repo man. Doing so can lead to legal consequences and even criminal charges for obstructing repossession. It is important to comply with the repossession process to avoid legal issues.
Contact the (former) lienholder to get them to release the title to you.
No
If the loan is in your name or if you have a lien against the vehicle, yes. If it's not paid in full and the title in her name, it's not actually her vehicle, per se. It belongs to the lienholder, and the person who received the loan has custodial charge of the vehicle.
A lienholder is a person or bank or institution that gives someone a loan, so the answer is yes. A private person, friend, boss, parent, or anyone else can be recorded as the lienholder on a vehicle.
Not without permission of the lender. A vehicle cannot be sold without a clear title of ownership. The lender is named on the title of a vehicle as the "lienholder" until the vehicle is paid for or otherwise released by the lienholder.
Either to the owner or lienholder depending on if there is a loan on the vehicle and if there is a loan, how much is owned. The lienholder gets paid first.
