Should Bank of America have records on this? Is it a fool's errand to contact them?

They should, but it might be. It's truly frightening how frelled many banks' records are, and odds are it was on paper, which means that a) it probably hasn't been cataloged yet or b) it could have gotten lost or damaged in one of the many mergers.

Do you have bank records of payments? Tax returns? Summat?

Aimee, responded.

Yeah, I re-responded now with added message.

I'm such a dingbat today.

No. I have no record of payments. I kept everything. Scott has been paying the bills for quite a while and his recording keeping style is...different.

We've just gotten off the phone with Bank of America. They say they can send us a release of lien letter (or whatever) and that we should get it in 7 to 10 days. I guess then we go to the registry to apply for the title, or something. I don't know. Maybe I'll just take the car apart, and throw away one piece a week, 'til it's gone.

Hee. Sounds like a Johnny Cash song in the making.

juliana - insent again. Now with extra squeeeeee!

Ew. The chicken noodle soup I bought for lunch has a big old bone in it. Ewewew. I like to pretend that meat grows on trees. Ew.

Not a bone. Was a stick.

I liked today's word of the day:

Job's comforter: A person who discourages or depresses while seemingly giving comfort and consolation

Was a stick.

I'm going with that. Thanks, Aims!

Anytime, my sweet!

Once they've sent that, there should be a form with the registry you can fill out that will get you a copy of the title. You might even check the RMV on-line because they have a lot of their forms there (some of which can be processed on-line).
