Help! DMV has wrong lienholder on title?

The lien holder is on the purchase contract and it is whoever your brother was paying money to. The lien holder should also be shown on the vehicle registration slip. The lien holder should be the same on both the purchase contract and the vehicle registration slip.

Start with the company your brother was making payments to. If it doesn't match up with the registration slip, your brother may need to consult an attorney.

All the best.

I've seen this happen Too often. When you purchased your vehicle and you financed, you didn't actually see the final paperwork that was sent for your registration. Well, possibly when you sat with the finance managers they tried to get you into say Chase bank NA. well when It came time to send your paperwork It was found out that chase did not approve you. So, another bank was found say Wells fargo. This happens It's not good but It does and the Dealer should have called you and told you. Now, you should ask the bank on the title for what is called " A No Interest Letter" showing your name and Vin number. It can be done Its not a big deal but It will cost you money and a little time. Good Luck

In my case, I paid the whole car in 2003 but the dealer had included a credit application and a lien on the title. I did not realize the lien on the title until recently when went to the MVA to change the title to my daughter. It is the second time I am trying to have the lien released but everyone in the dealer is avoiding responsibiliy and the financial corporation has no telephone or email.

I have been surfing the web more than two hours today looking for answers to the same question, and I haven't found a more interesting discussion like this. it is pretty worth enough for me.

Good point, but I am not 100% convinced
