How can I get rid of a lien on a car...?

Question:
that was involved in a bankruptcy? The bank doesn't want the car back, & can't accept a payment, however, they won't issue a lien release either (I've called them, repeatedly.). When I bought the car (from a family member) NY DMV was happy to transfer the title-with the lien still on it to me, once I explained the situation. The problem is, I now want to get rid of the car, but potential buyers won't like the idea of buying a car with a 'dirty' title. Any ideas?

Buying a used car?

The bank has to release the lein-thats the only way. What is their answer for not doing so? Keep hounding them.

Is 2000 dollars alot of money for taxes title and tag fees when buying a car plus a 200 dollar freight charge?

unfortunately, there isn'y much you can do. don't buy a car with a bad title in the future.

What are the full details that one get from the carfax?

There has to be some way to pay the Lien off to clear the Title. Call your DMV and ask them what you can do.

Cheap, Light, less than 1100cc?

I believe the only way to fix this is to pay off the lien. It was a mistake to EVER assume a lien on a vehicle unless you intended on paying it off. Essentially, that's what you did... assume the lien. Maybe you should contact an attorney, but that could cost more than paying off the lien!

Good God people - he said it's not his bill to pay.
Duh.
And if the bank isn't accepting payment on the car because it was written off, how or why is he supposed to pay it??
If the car belonged to a family member that was invloved in a bankruptcy, how does he have any responsibility to pay it if the person who filed bankruptcy doesn't??
