To obtain a release of lien on Cars, Trucks, Trailers, RV's please
provide us with the following required document(s):
-
A copy of the Title or Non-Negotiable
Title for the vehicle that you are requesting to be released.
The copy must be readable and clearly show the Owner's
Name, Lienholder's Name, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN
Number), the Title Number, the Year, and the Make and Model.
If the Title or Non-Negotiable Title has been
lost or is unavailable, you will have to request a printout from
the State containing the title information, and forward it to us.
This printout is sometimes called a Vehicle Inquiry Report, Title
Report or a TWIX. Depending on the State in which you live, you
may have to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of
Public Safety, or the local Tax Office for this printout
and there may be a small fee for it. Please note that a registration
certificate is not the same as a title report and is not acceptable.
Please remember that FDIC can only accept a release request when the
lienholder is a Bank or Savings and Loan Institution that failed and
has been placed in FDIC receivership, OR, a Subsidiary of a Failed
Bank or Savings and Loan. If you're not sure, please call the DRR
Customer Service Center at 972-761-2077 or toll-free
at 888-206-4662
It is highly suggested you also provide the
following documents, if available:
-
Proof that the loan was paid in full. Proof of
Payoff may include such things as a copy of a "PAID"
Note, copies of payment checks, or anything else that would
indicate payment. This will greatly reduce the amount of research
time and expedite our handling of your request.
