How can a title loan company put a stop on my ability to renew my vehicle registration?

9 years ago I took out a title car loan, which I recall paying back. However, when I recently tried to renew my current vehicle’s registration, I was told that I could not. The title loan company says I still owe them $800, so they have placed a stop on my ability to renew my registration. I won’t even bother with how incredibly crooked this seems. My current vehicle isn’t the same as the one I used for the title loan (if it were, I could almost understand). Also, the people at the DMV were like broken records.

If the loan company has placed a negative remark as to the title (registration) regarding your vehicle with your state's department of motor vehicles then this is why you are unable to renew its registration.

Although you have tried to resolve this dispute with the department of motor vehicles to your dissatisfaction I suggest that you do the following:

1. set up a face to face meeting with your state's department of motor vehicles to understand specifically why you cannot renew your vehicle's registration.

2. set up a face to face meeting with the lender for the vehicle that you bought to understand specifically the issue that it seems to have with you.

Based upon what you discover, you may be able to resolve the situation yourself. If not, then you need to consult with an attorney experienced in representing people who obtain loans and have issues with their lenders.

Good luck.
