It is illegal for a bank to hold onto a title for a vehicle once a typical deadline for funds to clear for payment of said title has cleared. Contact your local attorney general and state government banking institution that governs bank licensing and file a complaint. They should notify you in writing as to why you have yet to receive your 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?
This is a rerun. IF someone is making paymnst, there is a security interest somewhere. Dont be fooled by the title and the leinholder part. They have a perfected lien on it. Good try, no candy for you.
as long as you physically have the title in your possession and its in your name and they haven't signed the back, you are still the legal owner. A title company would have to give proof of your financial obligation to them
Get a hold of the motor vehicle department in your state and explain the problem, they will get you a new title.
No
Yes, if the vehicle was purchased during the marriage it is considered community property.
Title theory, bank will hold the title to property as long as their is a mortgage
Old as the hills!
Whose NAME is the title in? Yours, or the dealership's? When you bought the vehicle, the auto dealership would supposedly transfer the title to you, but would also place a "lien" on the vehicle. IF THE TITLE IS IN YOUR NAME, simply tell the dealership to hand it over, and call the authorities if they refuse. IF THE TITLE IS NOT IN YOUR NAME, then you just may have a problem requiring the services of an attorney, assuming of course that you have fully paid for the vehicle.
You may only sell property to which you hold title.
Of Course! That's what the bank/finance company does!
If your name is on the title you will be responsible for all debts and damages.
