    abandoned car, title issue

    This posting was originally posted by vaultman....... see his questions regarding this issue in the 2nd posting on this thread.

    Vaultman posted the question in 2 sections of the forum and when I deleted one of them and merged the answers, my answer came up before his question. (in other words I deleted the wrong posting)...

    His questions are still here and this was the 1st answer to his inquirey....

    Sorry folks, I make mistakes too...... still trying to correct it....

    I don't know much about this issue, but there's a couple of things I would check into....

    Check with the local tag and title office, talk to the main guy in charge, explain the situation that the vehicle was in bankruptcy, you surrendered it, now the lein holder is abandoning it but will not produce the title.

    Also, give the Trustee a call and let him know the situation too.

    You will need a letter from the lien holder saying that they are abandoning the auto, will not be accepting it in surrender in bankruptcy, and thus making the lien void and null. Verbal heresay will not be acceptable..... it must be in writing.


    Its possible that you can get a title for abandonment, possibly a salvaged title in the place of the original.

    Did you use an attorney in filing, or file pro se?

    My suggestions are from "personal experience" and research only. Do not consider this as legal advice. Each bankruptcy case is different.

    I recently went through ch. 7 and my camaro with a lien of 6k$ was included but now after bankruptcy the lien holder told me on the phone that they didn't want the car because it was in too poor of shape and they were abandening the car...now ive been stuck with it but cant get a title because they wont release the title or come get the car....i have since fixed up the car and it has been 6 months now after discharge.....does anyone know if there is a way to get a clean title or a way around this

        You need to have your attorney file an adversary to try to void the lien, the trustee or the state will not be able to help you.
