A lien release letter Ford is a legal document issued by Ford Motor Company to release a lien on a vehicle owned by an individual or entity. When a vehicle is purchased through financing or leasing, Ford holds a lien on the vehicle until the loan or lease is fully paid off. Once the loan or lease is satisfied, Ford issues a lien release letter to confirm that the lien has been released and the owner has full ownership rights to the vehicle. Ford offers different types of lien release letters based on the type of transaction and the status of the lien. These may include: 1. Loan Lien Release Letter Ford: This type of lien release letter is issued when a vehicle has been purchased through a loan financing arrangement. It confirms that the loan has been paid in full, and the lien on the vehicle has been released. 2. Lease Lien Release Letter Ford: When a vehicle is leased from Ford, a lien is placed on the vehicle until the terms of the lease are completed. A lease lien release letter is issued when the lease has been fulfilled, verifying that the lien has been released, and the lessee is now the sole owner of the vehicle. 3. Partial Lien Release Letter Ford: In certain cases, a lien may only be partially released on a vehicle. This can occur when a borrower makes a partial payment towards the outstanding loan or when there is a transfer of ownership with a partial lien release. The partial lien release letter from Ford specifies the reduced lien amount and confirms the partial release. 4. Electronic Lien Release (ELT) Letter Ford: Ford also offers electronic lien release letters, eliminating the need for a physical paper document. An ELT letter is generated and transmitted electronically to the appropriate state agency, indicating the release of a lien on a vehicle. It is important to note that the specific terms and conditions of lien release may vary depending on the individual financing or leasing agreement. It is always advisable to consult with Ford or the authorized dealership for accurate and up-to-date information regarding lien release procedures.
