It's a 1995 car, so either it's a loan lien, (pretty strange for such an old car) in which case you ask the seller, or it's a mechanic's lien, in which case a lien notice is displayed where the car is stored.
 
If none of those apply, you'll have to get someone in law enforcement, or an attorney, to get that info for you from DMV. Some DMVs will issue a "santized" vehicle record, but I have no idea if AL does that or what's in the sanitized version.

Well it's private information. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe if we knew we could come up with something for you.

i bought the car on dec 13th, and registered at the dmv the next day. yesterday the dmv sent me a letter saying their was a lien on the title and i have 2 weeks to come up with a notice of lien release otherwise my plates and vehicle registration will be canceled.
 
i've got over $3000 in this car now, put a brand new motor and transmission in it, 2-tone paint job and re-did the interior.
 
ive got to much invested to lose out, now all my money is sitting in this car and with rent over due and my wallet shooting dust bunnies..
i need to find the lien holder so i can talk with them about it and see if we can come to some type of agreement to get me a lien release

How did you buy, and register, a car without a title?
 
If in fact the seller sold you the car without telling you of a lien, he has, in my opinion, committed a crime, because the car was not his to sell.
 
Therefore, if all else fails, I'd call the District Attorney's Office, and I bet that will dislodge the information once they call up the seller.
 
You might also go back to DMV and ask to speak only to a supervisor. It seems to me, given that DMV has charged you will finding the lien holder, that they should help you do it. I mean, they have the information on file, obviously.

Okay I understand. Your post was pretty slim on information so we responded to what we know.
 
legally speaking, I think you're the victim of fraud so your next step is to get good advice from your local DA.
 
The bonded title is there for a reason--so that this doesn't happen--but it did, and now you have to deal with it properly.
 
In short, this is the lienholder's car.
 
I cannot fathom why the DMV will not help you. It's crazy!
