Whoever DCU is I dunno, but when you pay a car off, the bank or lending institution will send you a lien release. A very important document signed by their bank official. You take that release plus your old title to the DMV and pay your $10 or whatever to have a new title issued with your name only on it. A few weeks or a month later you get the new updated title. Problem solved. If you did not do this, you will need to attach the lien release to the old title when you sell it. If you don’t have the lien release you’re going to have to go back to the bank to try and get another one. I always immediately apply for a new updated title when I get the lien release since you never know when you might sell or trade.
