Has a lien been released?

The DMV may report to CARFAX when a vehicle has been given a lien, but they do not necessarily report to us when the lien has been released. If you're buying a car and CARFAX reports a lien, check with the DMV, provincial government or financial institution to see if the lien has been released.

Note: We don’t offer phone support out of full dedication to our other help channels. Online support allows us to send and receive links and supporting documentation, which resolves your concerns more quickly.
