Q: What to Do If You Sign a Car Title Wrong When Leasing a Car and There is Incorrect Information from the Lienholder?

A: If you signed a contract with incorrect information, such as the wrong vehicle model and year, it is important to address this issue as soon as possible with the lienholder or leasing company. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Contact the lienholder: Reach out to the lienholder or leasing company and explain the situation. Provide them with the correct information about your vehicle (2006 Ford Mustang) and point out the error in the contract (2012 Ford Edge).

2. Request a correction: Ask the lienholder to correct the error and issue a new contract with the accurate vehicle information. They should be willing to do this, as it is in their best interest to have the correct information on file.

3. Review and sign the corrected contract: Once the lienholder provides you with the corrected contract, review it carefully to ensure all the information is accurate. If everything is correct, sign the new contract.

4. Keep records: Make sure to keep copies of all correspondence with the lienholder and retain both the incorrect and corrected contracts for your records.

Legally, if you signed a contract with incorrect information, you may have grounds to dispute the validity of the contract. However, it is generally better to work with the lienholder to correct the mistake and sign an updated contract rather than to default on the loan or take legal action.

If the lienholder is unwilling to correct the error, consult with a legal professional who specializes in contract law or automotive financing to discuss your options and protect your rights.
