re: Question for car title experts. Complicated...

I just spoke to ABC. Here's some clarification. USAA paid Infinity 12K to buy the car at end of lease. USAA was not able to handle the tax, title and license on their end (can't remember the reason). So, they sent to me. I was to take that to the DMV and handle. That never happened (perfect storm of other events in my life at the time). State continues to keep my registration under Nissan, cause they don't know any better. USAA continues to service my loan.

I never paid the taxes on the 12k. Factor in penalties since then.

Not sure the lien release from Nissan would work, but I will look into it.
