It is possible. If the minor is your child and the child is still a minor, you can take the car (as a repo). If the child is no longer a minor, you may have to go through channels.
Because its not your car really its the person/company's car that holds the lien.
A lien is a claim against the value of property, such as a house or a car. The property cannot legally be sold or transferred without settling the lien.
The lien must be paid off and the title must then be signed over to you. You cannot insure and register the car in your name without a title.
If the car is put up as collateral for a loan, and that loan is not repaid according to the written agreement then a lien will be placed on the title. If you sell the vehicle the lien holder will be paid first before you are able to put any money into your pocket. Never use your car as collateral for any loans ... cars lose their values and soon enough the lien (loan) will be more than the car is worth. The lien still has to be paid off when it's sold, even if the lien amount exceeds the price the car is sold for.
I think you may have meant "lien" instead of "lean". A lien is a monetary (money) debt placed against a possession by a creditor who has not been paid by other means. If an owner sells his cat on which a lien has previously been placed, the lien belongs to the person (i.e. the other person who owned the possession before); a lien does not "follow" the car or other possession, it follows the person who owes the debt. If a seller sold you a car with a lien against it, you need to contact an attorney to get the lien removed from your-now-owned car. You or your attorney needs to notify the creditor/lien holder that you bought the car without knowledge of the lien. The creditor would then need to identify a different possession owned by the other person in order to attach the lien to that possession, and not to your car.
My advice, is run as fast as you can from this car. Want a legal mess then continue messing with this car. There are millions of cars out there for sale. Why mess with such a vehicle. If you have already made the mistake of buying this car, you need to contact the lender that has a lien on the car, and get a lien release.
no they wont they would have no reason to
does my car have a lien?
The only way a person can obtain a lien on a home is for the homeowner to agree to the lien in writing or the lender must sue the homeowner in court for non-payment of the car loan. If they win they can request a judgment lien from the court and that lien can be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid off.The only way a person can obtain a lien on a home is for the homeowner to agree to the lien in writing or the lender must sue the homeowner in court for non-payment of the car loan.

Title of car must be signed over to the person the car is being sold to. Unless it is under lien.
This is an almost impossibility, unless the title has been doctored. If "the company" sold person A the car, the title contains that company's name as a lien holder, which means that the car cannot be transferred to another person without the approval of "the company". Look at a car title from a dealership, for example, and see what color it is. Then look at a title for a vehicle that is paid for and is free and clear. The dealership title has the dealership name on it as the lien holder, different color title. The free and clear title has no lien holder and is a different color. If a car has been sold with a lien holder, person A is responsible for payment for the car, regardless of who is driving it.
A vehicle with a lien holder named on the title cannot be traded, transferred or sold without the title being cleared by the lien holder.
