Car dealership owner refuses to give lien sign off

[k4mik4ze]

Hi,

I bought a car from a person not knowing what a lien was, I later realised what it was and found out I cannot get it registered.

I contacted the dealership who owned the lien on the car, and the owner initially offered to sign off the lien, went on a vacation and then came back saying he wouldnt sign it unless I paid him $530.

Finally after months, I got a buyer who was ready to pay off the amount and get the lien sign off, Now when I wanted to pay him the money and get it signed off, he's asking $850 and absolutely refuses to even talk to me. He cut the phone twice in the middle of the conversation and wont even let me talk.

Fact is, neither I nor the dealership have any details regarding the lien status of the car and how much is owed and the owner of the dealership absolutely refuses to talk or cooperate.

I've reached the end of my wits and am absolutely frustrated and angry. I want to sue him and get the lien sign off somehow.

I tried to track the original owner but cannot track her down.

Any legal advice on how to proceed to get the lien signed off would be greatly appreciated !
