Common California Title Errors That Delay Dealership Transactions

California title errors can prevent a dealership from completing a retail sale, wholesale transaction or auction transfer. A seemingly small mistake involving ownership, mileage, lienholder information or vehicle details may leave a transaction stalled until the record is corrected.

Dealerships located anywhere in the United States may encounter these problems when a vehicle’s title history involves a California Title and Registration.

Incomplete Trade-In Documents

A dealership may accept a trade-in only to discover that the ownership documents are incomplete. Missing signatures, unresolved previous-owner information or an unfinished transfer can prevent the dealership from obtaining an accurate title.

The earlier the title history is reviewed, the faster the dealership can sell the vehicle to the future purchaser.

Odometer and Mileage Discrepancies

Mileage information on the title may not match the odometer disclosure, sales agreement or vehicle history. An incorrect mileage entry should be addressed carefully because it can affect the accuracy of the permanent title record.

Incorrect Vehicle Information

Errors involving the vehicle identification number, year, make or model can stop a transaction from moving forward. TLBVRS can correct such discrepancies to secure a correct and valid California title and registration.

Errors on Previously Submitted Documents

Incorrect information may have been submitted during an earlier sale or transfer. Resolving the current problem may require reviewing the previous transaction and identifying which party or document introduced the error.
