What if I am a lienholder on this vehicle? How can I get it back?

If you are a lienholder you may secure the release of the vehicle if

* you held a perfected security interest in the vehicle at the time of the seizure,
* the owner is in default,
* as a result of the default you are entitled to possession of the vehicle,
* you agree to sell the vehicle and pay into the Clerk’s Office the net sale proceeds and
* you agree not to sell, give, or otherwise transfer possession of the vehicle to the driver or the owner.

There are other requirements that you must satisfy as a lienholder.

You should ask the Clerk’s Office for form CR-334. You must serve a copy of the form on the owner, the DA and the school board attorney. If these parties consent to your petition, the clerk will release the vehicle to you. If they do not consent, there will be a court hearing on your petition.
