Someone gave me a car that they had payed off, they gave it to me to do there accounting cause they were having alot of problems with it, (accounting that is). Well they signed the car over legally and put a lien against it until I could get their accounting straighten out, well I got them straighted out and now we have had a big , really dig fall out about 2 years ago. Now how do I get the lein off or if I never get the lein off, is it still mine, since there is a lein against it? I pay the taxes on it and everything. I mean should I keep it until the wheels fall off? Please help. Can I still sell it with a lein on it? Or just keep it, or sell it without a title? We didn't have a written aggrement, just a verbal one....help....serious answers please.

If they gave you the car in exchange for doing accounting work, and you did the work that was agreed, they should release the lien on the vehicle. I would send them a polite letter asking them to send you a release of the lien. If they do not respond, you may need to file a lawsuit and have the judge order the lien released.
Check with a lawyer in your area for the exact requirements, as they do differ from state to state.
