If a vehicle owner fails to make lien payments as previously agreed, the lienholder may<br />
under <strong>Virginia</strong> laws take possession <strong>of</strong> (i.e., repossess) the vehicle. When a vehicle is<br />
repossessed, the lienholder, whether an individual, corporation, or a dealership, must<br />
obtain a new vehicle title showing the lienholder as the new owner before the vehicle<br />
may be sold. If the vehicle has been repossessed out <strong>of</strong> state, it is not necessary for a<br />
licensed dealer to receive a title in the lender’s name.<br />

submits to DMV:<br />
