I took a title loan out on my car in December 2018. My car was registered in Florida and the company in California told me that they would take care of registering my car in California and charge me for the registration and told me that they would send me my tag and title. After a month I called and asked if they had received my title they said no it’s probably in the mail and then demanded I pay them so I paid and four months went by and I still didn’t have a title so I’ve been driving my car illegally because I’m now a California resident. And then they told me that they lost the title and the car has not been registered to California And demanded that I order another title from Florida so that they can finish the process.
A: The title loan company wants to register their lien on the title to your car so that you cannot sell the car without paying off their lien first. Think carefully about what you should do next.
