What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Nevada and my nephew lives Oregon. He sold me a car. I agreed to make monthly payments until it was paid off. He put a lien on the title of the car. I paid it off in full and he mailed me a bill of sale. I went to the DMV to get the title in my name. The DMV said I needed a notarized lien release. I told him what I needed, even sent him the form he needed to sign and notarize. It has been over a year and still nothing. I want to get rid of this car and purchase a new one but I don't know what to do with this car. I park in a parking garage and have nowhere to store it. It is still running but becoming old and unreliable. I understand it is a breech of contract but with him living in another state I am unsure on how to proceed like in small claims court or something. I would even be happy to junk it to get it taken care of. I don't have a clear title and need some advice in going forward, all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
