I bought a car many years ago and the missed on letter on the VIN....

so I had to go to the DMV in Maryland and they had a state trooper read off the VIN and they issued me a new Title with the correct VIN on it.

Sorry, that was a long time ago but the state doesn't have a procedure to re-establish title?

BB&T should fix it. If not go the abandoned title route. Or even a bonded -- Hokie1744 01/09/2019 10:25PM

Try contacting your state representative. It's surprising sometimes -- MikeVT85 01/09/2019 2:55PM

At that time, they didn't electronically notify DMV. Owner had to go to DMV -- 48zip 01/09/2019 3:30PM

DMV has been very helpful on this and other matters. ** -- 48zip 01/10/2019 08:16AM

Thanks for your ideas everyone. I'll update when I get it resolved. ** -- 48zip 01/09/2019 1:24PM

I purchased a car last registered in NY in 1980. NY is not a title state so -- 81_Hokie 01/09/2019 12:32PM

Someone at BBT is obligated and able to fix this. The obvious -- Femoyer Hokie 01/09/2019 12:07PM

Actually it doesn't. Apparently it was up to me, not the bank, to send DMV -- 48zip 01/09/2019 12:37PM

Does this link help? -- Nova Hokie 95 01/09/2019 1:06PM

Thanks. Good info I had not seen. I'm on hold w/ DMV now.... -- 48zip 01/09/2019 1:22PM

Ask the DMV who they show as the lender. Is it FVB or BBT? -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 2:42PM

I skipped over it, but if they show FVB, you'll need to present a news... -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 2:46PM

Do I get a % of any sale if this works out? -- Nova Hokie 95 01/09/2019 4:09PM

Dayum. Sorry brotha! Yeah, I'll buy you beer or three. ** -- 48zip 01/09/2019 4:17PM

Guess you can either drive it until the wheels fall off, or donate it... -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 11:36AM

Another option: does it have full (comprehensive) insurance? -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 2:22PM

Other tha Ms. Zip being my insurance agent, that sounds good. Haha -- 48zip 01/09/2019 2:31PM

Won't charity still need the title? ** -- Hokie360 01/09/2019 2:17PM

Who knows? It will be their problem, not 48's at that point...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 2:23PM

Experienced a similar situation with a "Gray Market" car I purchased -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2019 11:32AM

They have it, it just doesn't say the lien has been satisfied. -- 48zip 01/09/2019 11:10AM

Can you run red lights now and the camera can't prove it's you? ** -- `lag 01/09/2019 11:23AM
