Car titles

[Lady D]

I'm curious, how long does it normally take to receive your car title after paying off your vehicle? It has been 5 months since our car was paid off. May 10th of this year. Still no car title. I called the dealership and they gave me the phone number of Honda Financial Services and I've tried calling them several times and just get a recording asking you to leave a message.

I wouldn't think you would have to leave a message at a place like Honda Financial Services. That doesn't sound like I was given the correct number.

Can you apply for and receive your own title by mail without waiting on the one from the dealership?

I believe I have typically received the titles within 30 days.

Thanks SJ. Cannot figure out why they are holding ours and not sending it. This really sucks.

A question, from experience...have you moved during the time you have owned this vehicle?

I have a very long story that should accompany this question, but I'm too tired to type it.

No, we haven't moved. Have been in this house since 1994. I am going to attempt to call them again tomorrow.

It shouldn't take that long LadyD..good luck getting through to someone!

Well, we didn't think much after just a couple of months. But when it extended beyond that, we started wondering about it and tried to contact them twice, to no avail. So hopefully I can get in touch with someone by phone this time and find out what the holdup is.

They may not have filed a satisfaction, or the title was lost. You can check with DMV to see the title status, and file for a duplicate for a little over 30 dollars if you wish.

We typically get ours in about 30 days...or less. You may need to go over someone's head and find out what is going on.

I used to work for a very hated financial company who's computer system was from the dark ages (see card punch technology). If a customer overpaid the loan by even a penny it sometimes got lost and wouldn't pull up in the paid (balance=$0.00) Q. Or it could be one of our great USPS sub contractors. They sent my driver's license back to the state of FL as undeliverable. Mind you it had my new address on it.
