What can I do if I bought a used vehicle from a lady in Miss on terms . I’m finished paying for the car but can’t get a title

If you’ve paid for the car in full but haven’t received the title, the seller is legally required to transfer it to you. Since the vehicle came from Mississippi, you’ll need to work with the Mississippi Department of Revenue, Title Bureau to verify who the titled owner is and whether there are any liens on the vehicle. Start by gathering all proof of payment—receipts, text messages, a bill of sale, or any written agreement. Then contact the Mississippi title office and explain that you purchased the car but the seller hasn’t transferred the title. They can tell you what forms to file, such as a bonded title application or complaint for failure to transfer title. If the seller refuses to cooperate, you can also report it to law enforcement or the state’s consumer protection division because keeping a title after full payment can be considered fraud. You may want to consult a Tennessee or Mississippi attorney who handles vehicle-title disputes to help you file the necessary paperwork or a small claims action to compel the seller to sign over the title. Acting quickly is important before your temporary tag or drive-out expires.
