Hemi/Harb:
I could be wrong... as I certainly have been wrong before. But this story simply does not add up. I don't think he ever had any intention of solving this... or there would have been a picture of this dubious title in the first place. I have gone through title/liens before.... that is NOT how it works in my state. WTH???
What do I know??? I am just a red-neck. If I was as smart as firebird, I could control my bank & tell them to deed assets at my request. I could say: "Just give me the title, don't change it" "Even though I paid it off, I want it to look like I owe & have a lien against it still" Yeah... that's how you do it. Work to pay it off to show you don't own it. That is one bright idea.
