Alright guys and girls, I really really hate starting a thread like this but I don't know where else to turn. I'm hoping somebody might have some insight or information.
I'm looking to get rid of my current car. It's a twenty year old barely functional piece of crap, but apparently my building super is interesting in buying it and fixing it up to be a starter car for his younger brother at college. More power to him. It was originally my Father's car (bought it around 2002) and gifted it to me a few years back. The problem is I have no idea what I did with the car's original title. So I mailed in the forms to the DMV to send me a duplicate title. It arrived today but it still lists a lien holder on it, the original financing company my Dad used to buy the car back in 2002. This makes no sense to me since I know this car was paid off like nearly twenty years ago, and I know we had to present the proof of this when we transferred the title from his name to mine back in 2015 (another document I have no idea what happened to). But with the lien listed on the title and the proof of payment MIA I can't really sell it to my Super.
Now I tried to contact the financing company, but there wasn't really much they could do for me since this was more then twenty years ago and they dealt with my Father, not me. I'm going to try to contact the DMV tomorrow, but it's the DMV so I'm not expecting a quick, easy and painless response. I'm just curious if anybody else might have any other ideas or insights? Something else I can try to get this resolved?
