what is the question here?.... Just using a ? doesn't constitute a question
Contact the (former) lienholder to get them to release the title to you.
If the vehicle has a lien, the title shouldn't be lost, the lienholder should have it. Once the vehicle is paid in full, they will mail you the title.
A title holding state is one in which the title to a vehicle is mailed to the lienholder, not the customer.
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.
If you don't have a "contract", you aren't a leinholder. A lienholder must have a contract and have filed the notice with the county recorders office and the title must state you as the leinholder. If the person is named on a title as a lien holder he or she has the legal option of repossessing the vehicle as it is determined by the laws of the state where the vehicle is registered.
It normally take 30-45 days to get a title. I you financed the vehicle, you wont get the title, the lienholder will get it and send it to you once the loan is paid in full.
If you are financing the sale, you would list your name and address on the title as Lienholder or Secured Party.
If you have no LIENS on the title if there are some you have to go to lienholder and check for payoff dates and obtain copy for DMV & your records
Yes. The lienholder is the rightful, legal owner of the vehicle, and can take possession of that vehicle anywhere.
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.
The lienholder has no liability for any damage done by the buyers vehicle.
No, it's 100% legal. That finance company is the lienholder. What that means is that, until you've paid that vehicle off and have acquired the title, the lienholder is the rightful owner of that vehicle, and has every right to reclaim their property when the conditions of the contract are not met by the lessee.
