I had a situation where I had paid off a car, but the bank never sent a release of lien for my title. However, I was sure that the title did get sent to me anyway, but I had lost the title. This was around 2004 I think it was. Anyway, I never gave it a second thought until I tried to sell the car in 2010, had to go to the DMV to get a copy of the title, and they said they could not release the title to me because it still had a lien on it. Long story short, it was handled, but weird situation.

I think what the seller is saying that a Bill of Sale should be good enough to get the car registered temporarily. However, they still need to make sure there is no lien on the title, otherwise, you'll not be able to have the title to the car. While my situation wasn't 10 years, I still needed the bank to write the letter to release the lien before I could sell the car.

You cannot insure it until it's registered in your name. Talk to your insurance agent.
Not necessarily. In some states AAA has nothing to do with the DMV! Here in Montana, you WILL go to the DMV office in the County Courthouse for all registration, title work, and transfers of ownership. AAA can do nothing to help you.

I don' see how you would end up in jail, unless there is something you haven't told us. Can a co-worker give you a ride? Are you in a large city? Maybe if we knew that, someone might know where you can get help.

Lien and lienholder issues are state-specific. Eleven states give the title to the customer--even if there is a lien on the vehicle. In the other ones, the lienholder has the title. In many cases, there IS no physical title--the lien is held electronically, and once the lienholder sends a release electronically to that state's DMV, the title is released, printed, and mailed to the owner (or in some states, can be picked up by the owner).


As to mattutat's post--sorry, but if it's impounded, it is unlikely you can sell the vehicle. Not sure what a "wreck lien" is; I'm unfamiliar with that term. If you physically have the title, you might be able to work something out with the lot that has your vehicle.


If this happened over a year ago, contact the lot. They probably want the car gone. Maybe you guys can work something out. Having said that, the car having sat for a year plus may be nothing more than scrap anyway, depending on the damage.

I sold a car on Craigslist that had a Lien with Bank of America

No big deal

me and the buyer walked into the nearest B of A branch location, the buyer paid off the lien and gave me the remaining money

they mailed him the title 5 days later....... very smooth and easy
