Liens don't expire.
YES! They took my friends car ans they can take you to court.
It is likely that you will avoid many fees by returning the car yourself.
how long could you get behind before they can reposse your car.
If you had a gun and shot the guy not letting you reposse it!
does my car have a lien?
is there a lien on this car
If you are buying a car on payments then there will be a lien on the car. the company will release the lien once the car is paid off.
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.
what is a lien fee when your car is inpound
no
Now that Ontario has the used car package, you should be aware if any outstanding liens are on this vehicle. However if you purchased the vehicle with a lien still on it you are liable for that lien and the vehicle can be repo'd. If the vehicle was bought through a dealer then they are liable for the lien. Also check the lien to see if it has expired, as this is a case that happens alot. The lien expires but still shows up on the lien search or the original lien has been paid but the lien holder never released it.
