<prompt> Human: I am going to the CA DMV today to find out the title status of the car, as well as get any documentation they can provide as for as my release of liability is concerned.To make a long story short I sold the car not running to a friend of a friend who said he was going to repair the car and give it to his father. I find out later he turned around and sold the car to someone out of state. I didnt think anything of this because I provided all the paperwork and title on my end and submit the release of liability online after they picked up the car. I have not received any registration notification or paperwork regarding the vehicle since I sold.Saturday I get a letter from an out of state Oregon repair shop that is a Claim of Possessory Lien, Notice of Forclosure Sale, ORS Chapter 87 for 2100 in service charges, 700 in Storage and 2800 in This Date fees Stating I am still the title owner of the vehicle.Do I need a lawyer? This has not appeared on my credit report yet however I am terrified it will. Also I dont have any idea the legal ramifications of this so I am hoping you can provide some insight as to how to proceed before it gets any worse.thank you.Update: I went to the DMV and they show me still as the title owner. They also said my release of liability was not fully processed online. she said this is really common when submit online The current status of the vehicles registration is registration in progress and it has been since I sold the vehicle. She had me resubmit the release of liability and summary statement and basically said to hope it goes away... Anyone have some better advice than that at this point?  <response>: chill out. a lien notice means that the shop is claiming an interest in the vehicle to satisfy its bill. they arent coming after you, and you already sold the vehicle. this is somebody elses personal problem.
