If the lien is a purchase money lien (granted to allow you to buy the car), then no. If it is a nonpurchase money lien (you granted a lien on the car to secure an unrelated debt), then yes.
You cannot file a lien on your own car to prevent another from filing a lien on your car. If you owe someone money they may be able to put a lien on your car so that they are paid in full.
The lien holder is the person or firm, you borrowed the money from to purchase the car.
A lien on a car title most typically means that money is still owed on the car. When a person takes out a loan on a car a lien is put on the title until the full repayment of the loan.
you owe somebody money and your car was used as collateral
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.
A lien holder is someone who has a financial interest in a car. It could be the bank you financed it from, or someone else who the car owner owes money to. The car owner's name is on the title with the lien holder's name so that you can't sell the car without the lien holder signing the title...this means that you don't owe the lien holder any money on the car. The car is now 100% owned by the title owner.
It means that someone has borrowed money from a Bank or lending company and used the car as colatoral. Be carefull, if you purchased this car, and that lien is still against it, the lending company can come after you for the money or take the car from you.
The lender who loaned you the money to purchase the car and to whom you make the payments.
does my car have a lien?
If the company holding a lien on a car ceases to exist, its assets are usually bought up or inherited by another company. A lien is an asset, so the lien continues to exist and you pay the money to the new owner. If the lien is held by one company but the car manufacturer ceases to exist, the lien stays the same.
No, you can't.
