ok so we had no car and a guy(our landlord) offered to help. He sold us a car for 3,600. we paid him weekly for the car and rent with cash no recipt.(BIG MISTAKE) We have been paid up in full for around 4 months and everytime we asked for our title he would come up with an excuse. I know he said he had to release a lean??????? I have an idea but I am confused. Then he said that the title should of been mailed to us a year ago... Well here comes the problem we recently moved out of the house due to him just being an ***.....he called because he thinks that we still owe him money for rent. We told him we didnt so he says he is going to take it from the car and then repo our car.. Remember there is nothing in writing is all mouth to mouth. Rent car all of it!!! The registration is in our name but that it. What do I do. ???? I know that rent and car are seperate things. I also know that we were blind and stupid...live and learn...right?

You might have to take him to court. With nothing in writing it will be difficult to prove. A lien means that he owed money to someone else, and if that debt wasn't paid, the car might not be his to sell.

If he had a lien against the car, he couldn't sell it without the lien being paid off. So it was illegal for him to sell it. He probably had a loan and put the car up for collateral. If the registration is in your name, you have prove that you where buying the car. Contact an attorney and ask if there is anything you can do about this. I hope you have prove that you lived there and how long it was. It sounds like he is a slum lord, and does not follow the rules.

How did you get the vehicle registration in your name without a bill of sale or proof of lease? Our DMV requires that kind of info. Do you carry insurance on the car? Is that in your name? You should contact a lawyer for assistance because I think you are going to have a very difficult time proving anything since you don't have a written contract. I hate to say live and learn, but since you already said it yourself .. take this as a lesson to always get these matters in writing.

Do you have any other means of obtaining a vehicle? If not, and if you must maintain possession of this vehicle, you probably will need to suck it up and work out some arrangement with him and GET IT IN WRITING. I'd even get a notary or someone like that to witness it, just to CYA. Since this guy is being an a**, as you stated, if you don't make some concessions to get this car into your name legally, I'd think you could be risking grand theft auto charges if he decides to report the car as stolen.

Good luck.

It relies upon on your state. If the lien has been released on the face of the identify by skill of the two the lien holder and the state you will haven't any issues. If the lien launch is a separate card or letter you've issues later on and a sparkling identify could be prudent. If the identify or lien launch is lost or destroyed you will might desire to return to the lien holder for yet another launch with a view to teach sparkling identify.
