Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Arizona

Lienholder statude of limitation.

The Mitsubishi corporation is denying released of a motor vehicle title, on the basis of an insurance death. The vehicle was paid off the summer of 1993 and due to engine problems this vehicle was out of service for approximately 7 years (not registered). The vehicle is now fixed and ready to be put on the road. I asked for a clear title from the company and they claim that the vehicle was not insured durring several laps of time between 1989 and 1993, and that they issued a policy on the vehicle and that in order for them to release the title I have to either pay the money for the insurance (over 3,000) or show proof of insurance on the car from 8 years ago. Having been in the military and working for D.O.D. during all this time I traveled constantly and it will be almost impossible to track down all the previous insurances and forget about paying 3,000 for a 1,500 dollar car. I was never notified of this until july 2000 when i requested the clear title. A copy of the letter was sent to me that was dated December of 1993. My question is, how about the statude of limitation on death collection? How can I get this title with out paying?

Re: Lienholder statude of limitation.

An action (law suit) should be commenced requiring Mitsubishi to turn over title to you.

If you are in Fl , contact me, if you are in Az. find a competent creditors' rights atty to represent you.

Has anyone other than Mitsubishi made demand upon you for the alleged insurance premiums?
