The bank receives the title until the loan is paid. If the loan is paid off then you receive the title.
I have a car that is paid off. The bank is holding the tittle for colletaral for another car loan that was repo. Is this legal?
The only way to get your car title back from the Bank of America is to pay of the loan that the title is collateral for. If the loan is paid off, they will send you the title in the mail.
The bank should not have your car title if it is paid off. If you declared bankruptcy and it was discharged, your bank credit card account should be dismissed.
no
If you know of a bank that does that, please give me their name. It is extremely unlikely that any bank would offer for forgive a loan balance for any reason. The bank's loan dept. is not in the insurance business. Keep in mind that the bank actually owns the car because they hold the title in their name as collateral for the loan. The car does not legally belong to you until you hold clear title. If you die owing money on the loan, the bank will sell the car to recoup as much of the outstanding balance as they can. The bank might allow another party to assume the payments under a prearranged agreement. Calling the car a gift means nothing. And I wouldn't consider it a gift if you have to pay for it!
I do not understand what you are trying to do. How is your money on hold at a bank? Is it in a longterm CD?
If there is a loan against the car then the bank is on the title and they own the car, your name would be on the registration but not on the title, so yes they can repo it. If you have the actual title in hand then their is no loan on it and you own the car.
Typically you need a car with insurance to get a title loan. If your car is totaled, the loan company are entitled to that money since they hold the title for your car.
No
You didn't have the title to begin with. The loan company or bank does. So, you didn't loose it, but you may loose the car since it is in default . The loan company/bank owns the car, not you.
The estate is responsible for the loan. If it is not paid the bank will take the property.
