Wisconsin Auto Title Loans Will not return my property! Kenosha Wisconsin

For some reason my other step-daughter, not the one that started this whole mess, took it upon herself to get something going. She apparently raised the roof at the office of WATL in her city. The net result was that the Kenosha office mysteriously found my 'release of lien' in the file and gave it to me. The key is still missing. It is still with their lawyer in Florida, but I did get a phone number for this person. I'm going to find out how much a new key is going to cost and call her. I doubt that they will pay to replace the key, even if they are responsible for losing it, but at this point just having a clear title is fine with me.

The manager at the Kenosha office was, to say the least, cold and abrupt when she handed over the paperwork, but that's OK with me. She can be as nasty as she wants as long as I get my property back. I don't plan on ever having to deal with them again.

I had thought to write to the home office, the chief, the head honcho. No luck! There is no one listed! Apparently each office is a unique entity controlled by some mysterious home office with no address, no web address, no phones! I suppose if I spent enough time I might find the hidden controller of all the local offices, but I'm not a detective or a lawyer.

And yes, all I really need is a clean title. I don't like eating the cost of a new key after paying their sky high interest rates, but it is a small loss I can bear. At least I knew the rates before-hand and I can't say I was scammed by them. It sucks but when you are desperate you have to do what you have to do.

I guess I'll head back down to the office to get a good song and dance again this week. At least it's mildly entertaining, in a disturbed sort of way.

Replacing the key is not nearly as important as getting the lien removed from your car title. Without that, you'll never be able to sell the car.

I suggest researching online and finding names of managers / company executives that are higher up on the food chain than the branch you went to. My theory is "The squeaky wheel gets the oil." Be insistant with contacting them, but never rude. Continue to request completion of your contract, including delivery of your lien waiver.

If you still have no satisfaction from them, their actions may be criminal. Assuming funds are short, you may be able to get legal assistance from the Wisconsin Legal Aid Society lasmilwaukee.

Good luck to you, you fulfilled your part by paying back the loan. It's unacceptable that the title loan co. has not.
