My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: Kentucky
I bought a motorcycle about a month ago and the owner said that the motorcycle had been paid off and the request for the lien release had been sent to HSBC. I found out the next day that the lien release has never been sent and that I can not transfer the motorcycle. I have talked to HSBC and the motorcycle was paid off in 2005 and that the account has been closed due to inactivity. Can I hold the seller of the motorcycle accountable and get my money back or is there any way to get HSBC's attention and get them to send a lien release. I have been trying for a month and keep getting nowhere. I hear nightmares about this company and am looking for some way to get their attention so that I am not out $4,500 for a motorcycle I can't do anything with.
