No, they just have to have proof you borrowed money and used the car a collateral for the loan. The contract you signed promising to pay them back is that proof.

How do you sell a car if the money from a private party will be used to cover what you owe on the title?

Take the buyer & title to the car with you to the lender that holds the lien on the vehicle. Use the money he is paying you to pay off the loan and get a lien release from the lender. Sign the car over to the buyer at the lender's place of business. Take this lien release and the title with you and the buyer to your DMV, and transfer the car into the buyer's name.

How do i sell a wrecked car i still owe money on?

You cannot sell a car you have a loan on if the lender has a lien on the vehicle. You will need permission from the lien holder to sell the car. If the lender has no lien on the vehicle then you can sell it if you wish. The title will list any lien holder.
