Bought a Bike with Clear Title - DMV Tells Me There is a Lien
My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: TEXAS
I purchased a bike from a private owner . Found the offer on craigslist and paid 6000 for it . Everything was legal the title was blue and his name was on it , and the name matched his drivers licens . Checked all the paper work , signed the title and the bill of sale beetween me and him . and done ..
The days afther i got insurance for the bike and went to the dmv office to register it and they tell me that the bike has a LIEN on it ...
But the tile is blue and it showes " NONE " where the lien holders name is .There is no lien holder on the title ..
SO everything looks good until they tell me that A+ federal credit union has a lien on it and that the DMV needs a lien of release .. SO i contact A+ federal and talk to them and now it shows that they have a diffrent title for that bike with a diffrent name that theey gave a loan for .
So now im stuck with this bike and all this mess ... The lady from credit union said she had no idea how the previos owner got a title for the bike and how he got it registerd at the DMV office ..
Whats going on over here ? CAn sombody tell me ?
The title i the original and the DMV said its real ant that he acualy did register the bike .. But how did he manage to do that when i cant do it now ??
he registerd the bike on 13/11/09 so it was a couple weeks ago and now i cant register it on my name ???????????????

That "somebody" would have to be the previous owner... Why don't you contact HIM for answers?
