My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: MD. In August of this year, I traded in my car on a used vehicle. I did not have my title and the dealership said that was fine and I could sign a piece of paper authorizing them to obtain it. I did. Roughly three weeks ago, I received a call from them stating that the title was still showing the SIF and they asked if I could get a new SIF or lien release. I contacted the credit union where I had purchased the former car and they sent me a "no interest--paid" letter. I faxed that to the dealership and thought all was done. Last week, my credit union called me and said that the dealership had contacted them directly for the same letter I had previously e-mailed and my credit union wanted me to know that they would not give the dealership any information. I told them I had already sent over the letter to the dealership and the credit union agreed that the dealership probably hadn't yet handled the lien release letter. This morning, my used car salesman called and left a scathing message on my voice mail stating that they have not received the lien release letter (not true--I received a fax confirmation showing that it went through properly) and that they were going to contact the MVA to rescind my title/suspend the tags on the vehicle I purchased since I did not comply with their request. Yes, I still have the lien release letter and sure, I could send it to them again but, frankly, the voice mail message I received REALLY rubbed me the wrong way and right now, I'm ticked. My question is this: LEGALLY, do they have the authority to rescind titles/invalidate registrations?? It should be noted: I paid CASH for the replacement vehicle I purchased and the dealership has no vested interest in my "new" car. Help??
