The lien holder is a person or business who have a concerned interest in a vehicle. Most times a bank or finanacial institution. You need to find the lien holder which is located on the title or can be found be contacting your DMV and giving the VIN and then finding their phone number, I would try calling information. Contact the lien holder and ask if the lien is still on the vehicle or what you need to do about having the lien removed. Sometimes a lien can still be on a vehicle even though it has been paid off, if the owner did not apply for a new title to clear the lien.
An assignee of a lien is the new lien holder.
I'm assuming you are saying the Lien Holder cannot locate the vehicle? In many states the vehicle is not repossessed until the Lien Holder or their agent is in possession of the vehicle. Therefore normally you could not be arrested because they cannot locate the vehicle.
The lien holder would. A lien holder has a financial interest in the property
If a debt has been paid off, the lien holder is required to release the lien. If the lien holder refuses, you will need to get a lawyer and take the case to court
I think you mean LIEN (not lian) holder. A lien holder is one (an individual or company) which holds the lien to a secured real or personal property.
only if the lien holder caused the collision
The lien holder is the person or firm, you borrowed the money from to purchase the car.
Well, you own the vehicle subject to the lien. You cannot sell or refinance the vehicle until the lien holder is paid. If you don't pay the lien, the lien holder can repossess the vehicle. So you own it subject to your paying the loan.
No. In the case of "brokered" loans especially the lien holder is the investor that holds the note. The lender is the broker that helped you secure your financing.
You don't. The only one who can fill out a lien relese is the lien holder. As the owner of the car you are not the lien holder. Take the title to whomever holds the lien and they will release it.
Yes.
If you are the lien holder, yes.
