Okay so heres the short intro.
2 years ago Original loan app was with bank of America, got turned down for credit so I guess Key Bank decided to pick it up. I never once filled out any information for Key Bank. I asked for a verification of debt in regards to a car loan with an original creditor. They sent a photocopy of the bank of america loan agreement, payment history and checks. I sent back the 9 page VOD and changed a few things. Removed the copyright stuff, added some stronger language on only accepting the original bona fide signature note and added 4 stronger questions to the offer of performance. (check the mbna turns to attorneys post to get an idea of what I asked for).
Heres what I got back along with the photocopied crap again. Any and all thoughts would be helpful. there are a couple a questions at the end of the letter. Oh yeah ICE thanks for the warning on this before hand; just because I went through with it doesn’t mean I wasn’t listening or paying attention I’m waiting for the tom schauf books and figured I’d give it a shot before they got here. Cant learn anything without trying.

1. Due to outright rejection of my promissory note my debt is discharged according to the UCC § 3-603. TENDER OF PAYMENT, right?
2. paragraph 7 .. Your obligation to repay the amount owed under the terms of your extension of credit…did they just admit that they the bank extended me credit????? That’s a no-no for banks right?
3. Lien, Lien who’s got the Lien. I’m still befuddled on which way to go with the removal of Keybank as legal owner on the title. On the original bank of America document I didn’t check the box or initial the box that said I would give them security interest in the property whoopsie
. Also my copy of the odometer disclosure release of interest by registered owner paperwork is signed only by me. However when I went to my dealer and checked my sales file per TILA (truth in lending act) their copy of this paperwork is signed. They signed it after I left. The application says on the left hand side that applicable sections not valid unless fully completed. Are they legally allowed to give me a copy of their unsigned copy and sign it later? Can I use this letter and a copy of the promissory note I sent as a way to sue for release of Lien?
As always thank you for your responses and I’m waiting on the schauf books.
