Re: Auto Finace

Upon payment of the loan you will need to have the vehicle properly titled. The finance company has no position to delay where releases are properly made. Once paid the finance company's interest will be removed from title of the vehicle.

Typically a finance company does not want to release collateral until paid in full. Likewise they do not want to release against any potential claims (i.e., anyone who signed for the loan).

You may want to consider obtaining contingent releases prior to paying the finance company's loan.

Contact an attorney should you require assistance.
