Lost Car Title Consumer Report

Consumer Protection on Car Titles
So if you’re a consumer looking to get a replacement for your lost car title there’s some things you can be aware of that’ll protect you from getting the wrong paperwork or creating damage or creating some type of problem with your vehicle title.

Verify the Legitimacy of the Title Agent
First of all, consumer protection on car titles is something that is often overlooked but gets a lot of people into trouble with getting the wrong kind of title or paying for something that you don’t need to pay money for. The first thing is make sure that whoever is getting your title as either the DMV yourself directly or that it’s a licensed title and registration firm. Most states require a license for this type of company to operate.

Ensure Legality of the Process
Second of all, make sure that the process being used is legal. In many cases, there’s a process used to get your title that is used by a third party company just because it’s easier or cheaper but it might not be legal. Things like mechanic’s liens or other types of washing titles. Also make sure you’re not signing your vehicle over to that company because while you do that they actually own that vehicle anything can happen while the ownership is out of your hands.

Explore DIY Options
Make sure that if you’re using a third party that it’s not something you can do yourself. For example, if you have a vehicle that’s 15 years old or older you can use the Vermont registration title process to get a title for your car and then transfer it into your state. In addition, if it’s newer than that you can contact the prior owner and they can get you a title which then can be signed over to you or you can even do a loss title transfer ownership simultaneous process in most states.

Conclusion
So make sure that you’re protecting yourself as a consumer when you’re getting a replacement vehicle title for your car.
