What to do about a lien release ona newly purchased truck?
I purchased a bus from someone for $11,000 and paid by check. He gave me the title and signed it. When I tried to get the title under my name the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) told me that their is a lien on the bus and thaat I need a lien release. I asked the seller for the release and he said he would have it for me, It has been over a month and I am loosing money on the bus every day. The mistake I made is not taking a copy of the bill of sale, so I only have a title from the seller. What are my options?

Your option to get a quick result as to the lien release is to pay for the lien to be released and then demand that the seller of the vehicle reimburse you for the associated costs. If he or she refuses, your legal options seemingly will be in small claims court to get reimbursed for the additional costs that you did not anticipate.
