- Category: Civil Actions
- Subcategory: Liens
- Date:
- State: Montana
Answer:
If you want to remove an invalid lien from your car, first confirm whether the lien is truly invalid. If the lien holder agrees that the lien is invalid or has been satisfied, obtain a signed statement from them indicating this. You will then need to file this statement wherever the lien was originally filed and follow any additional instructions from the filing clerk.
If the lien holder does not agree that the lien is invalid, you will need to pursue a lawsuit. You cannot simply file a document with the court to eliminate the lien. Generally, you will need to file a petition to remove the lien and schedule a hearing. During the hearing, both you and the lien holder will present evidence regarding the validity of the lien and whether it has been satisfied. If the judge rules in your favor, you can take the judge's order to the office where the lien is filed, and the clerk will remove the lien.
