Hey everyone I need some help.
I recently purchased a car in April 2009 from a auction I beleve it was Calgary salvage. It was a active status s2000. After purchasing the car through a friend who had a membership to the auction I checked the car for the status on the car it came back saying needs out of province inspection. Few months down the road I have repaired the car. Went to the registrys for a inspection request form and it had changed to salvage. Not having the old form I went and completed a salvage inspection. I registered the car with no info of a lien. Now I am trying to sell the car and there is a reported lien to someone in Calgary or bc (they have 2 adresses) through hsbc bank. The vin is used as collateral? I tryed phoneing hsbc with no luck tommorow I am going to the bank to hopefully find some information on the status of the lien and that the car has been through the insurence and writen off and the previous insurence company should have payed it out. Hopefully they can release the loan on the car and deal with the lien through the lien holder. Anyone know what happens in a situation like this and what to do. I have spent alot of money and time to repair this car. And had no problem legalizing it but now I have this situation. Need help and advice please!
