Wow, another reason I wish things would be standardized. Honda financial is who I last had also, and I got the lien release and loan satisfaction letters in 3 days.Not Chrysler Capital but we've recently paid off a Honda loan and it took 45 days to get our title.
TYPICALLY, last truck took about 2 months total, 90 days to get the registration. Everything backed up with shortness of staff. (IN TN)When I pay off a vehicle it can take up to a month here in Tn.
Call and b*i*t*c*h about your registration or title not being received, they'll just make you wait LONGER here in TN.The excuse is standard across the board now. Something is late, backorder, not in stock, shipping delay, it's not incompetence.
In the case of the title its not worthless, can't be fired for any reason, just working for the next break state employees.
In all cases it's now COVID. This is the perfect excuse for sloth.
Not really a deal in Arkansas. You pay off the loan, then often get a letter from the finance company in a week or two. Then the title shows up when ever it does. I normally write what vehicle it is on the outside of the envelope and chunk it in the safe. Sometimes I don't even open the envelope because it just doesn't matter until I get ready to sell it. And even then, I do a bill of sale because that is the only way I will have a record. All I do with the title is sign the back in the appropriate spot for the seller and let the buyer fill out the rest as needed. For new vehicles, I usually never see a title because I trade so often.
