Explain your situation

As you’ve stated and without some reason to have a claim to the title, it’s her car and you have only the rights a lienholder would have
 
No she owes me nothing I bought the vehicle I have no driver's license so to register the vehicle we used her name on the title I was under the impression lien holder obviously meant more than it does can u tell me if I have any say can i make her sell ? Can i do any thing or just move along lock my wounds

Liens work like this: you buy a car, but you have to take out a loan to pay for the car. A "lien" is placed on the car; the lien-holder is the bank. Let's say that you want to sell the car before it's paid off. Because there's a lien on the car, any money you got from the buyer would go to the lien-holder first, so they can release the lien and the buyer of the car could have clear title.

Did you loan your g/f the money to buy the car or was it financed?
