How to Get a Capital One Lien Release Hassle-Free
It can be frustrating to deal with a lien against your personal property. Not only must you deal with paying off what you owe, but you must also get the lender to release the lien. According to many people, getting a can be exceptionally difficult.
A lien release Capital One can be difficult because, much the same as other creditors, they aren't as worried about your situation as you are. They don't care that the lien prevents you from selling your vehicle. This is where DoNotPay can help. We can remove your frustration by ensuring that the creditor releases the lien quickly.
What Is a Capital One Lien Release?
A lien is a claim on any property to ensure that you pay off a debt to a company. One example is when you buy your vehicle with a loan, you give the lending company the title to hold until you pay off your loan. If you cannot pay, they can repossess it. If you pay it off in full, they should provide you with a lien release to show that you paid the debt, and you own the vehicle.
There are three common types of liens and releases, though this is not an all-inclusive list. Each one may be held against any or all your personal property. These most common types are:
- Mechanic's Lien: This type of lien means you made a deal with a contractor or a mechanic to ensure that you pay them for services rendered.
- IRS lien: An IRS lien means that you likely failed to pay taxes, and the IRS is holding your property until you have paid off what you owe.
- Mortgage Lien: If you're buying a home, your creditor may place a lien on the home for the duration of your time paying it off.
A mortgage lien is typically the one you will have if you are dealing with Capital One, though it may be from a loan that stems from not only buying a home, but:
- Purchasing a Vehicle
- Taking Out Personal Loans
- Borrowing Money to Pay Other Debts
If you can pay off a car loan with Capital One, you're entitled to receive a Capital One auto finance lien release. This allows you to get the title into your own name and do with it what you want to do from there.

From there, you will also need to know what types of required documents you must provide to request the lien release. For instance, according to the FDIC if you are trying to remove a lien on a property, you will need to provide the following:
-
Recorded Mortgage or Deed of Trust For the Property
The copy you send through the FDIC should be legible and show all valid information. Usually, you can locate it by going to the county's public records office. You may also find it by using the services of a title attorney or a title company. When the document is illegible, you may need to do the title search or use a title commitment. An attorney's title opinion may also be helpful.
-
Recorded Assignments
This is to provide proof of how it came to be yours and why the FDIC should attempt the release.
-
Proof of Payment
You should be able to provide proof that you have paid off your debt completely. This may be copies of a "Paid" note, copies of checks, receipts of payments, etc.
When taking care of getting the lien release on your own, expect it to become a process. The process, depending on what you have already done, could take over 30 days through Capital One. Longer if you do not have the proper proof that the debt is paid in full.
