I suppose I'll be dealing with them soon enough on this score.<br /><br />We got our financing for the van through Honda itself. The nice part about that is that there are actual human beings right here in Our Little Town representing this institution who can be leaned on to produce results. This might be more effective than emails, phone calls, and smoke signals, the way most big companies choose to hold us off these days. Or it might not.<br /><br />We'll find out.

Somehow the fact that lenders get protections and the rest of us get screwed doesn't surprise me, though.<br /><br />Our loan originated in one of the bigger companies, so I'm pretty optimistic about them still being there in a month or so. Whether they will fulfill their obligations is another question.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-18469348203905688262019-05-05T14:11:38.446-05:002019-05-05T14:11:38.446-05:00Congratulations!

Not until you get the "Release of Lien" from the lender. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee sitting out there in the yard. Dead for three years now. Can't get rid of the damn thing. No title. Can't get a title. Never got a "Release of Lien" from the lender. A lender that disappeared from the face of this planet four months after we paid off the loan. State says "No Release? No Title".<br /><br />I've had seven offers to buy the shell. One guy offered $1500 cash greenbacks if he could "take it today" with a clean title.<br /><br />This remains, now, and apparently forever, a sore spot with me ...<br /><br />LucyLucyInDisguisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169432604954981941noreply@blogger.com
