Here's our problem-We bought a truck at christmas. Buyer said lien was already taken off. Wrong Vin # written on safety papers (by mechanic), so wrong vin was given to bank. So when the bank said there was no lien i didn't think n e thing of it. Two days later, after truck was paid for, bank says lien on vehicle. Seller will not take it off! Talking to laywer, but not much help! Any ideas?

Yes, when the title was signed over to you, didn't the lienholder show up on it?
Was there any paperwork from the lien holder releasing their claim on that title?
Yes, you need to talk to a lawyer, and go after the seller. They sold you a car they had no right to sell.

Doesn't matter what was written on any papers filled out by a mechanic, the controlling document in buying or selling a vehicle is the title. What did the title show? The correct VIN of course, but what else? Perhaps a lien? If the seller did not have a clear title, the seller had no business selling the vehicle, and that is the person you should be talking to, tell them either a clear title, or your money back along with anything you have spent on the vehicle.
Don't blame the lien holder. They just want to be paid. If the lawyer isn't much help, go find one that will be helpful.

why didn't you see the lion when you bought the truck? I mean they are quite big and noticeable animals aren't they?
