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!

the dmv's here in ms are just plain idiotic.. this state is like its own little country.
 
i started calling dmv's by the nearest state and started with alabama and got lucky.
 
i found out the lien holders name and location and spoke with the head honcho just a few minutes ago, looks like i have to come up with $500 if i want to keep my car.
 
will be pressing charges against the guy who sold the car to me being that he was fully aware that it had a lien on the title and lied to my face about it.
 
jamie(owner) at CSI auto sales in dothan,al was very helpful to give me the full run down and when i mentioned the guy's name who sold the car to me jamie instantly knew who i was talking about and will be assisting me with getting this guy arrested.
 
now i can only hope i can pull that 500 from somewhere and be able to get the title.
 
thank you Mr. Shiftright for your help

well thank yourself for persistence. It's pretty amazing that your local DMV stonewalled you like that. You'd think they'd want this cleared up.
 
Well if $500 got you out of this mess that wouldn't be the worst thing that could have happened. The lienholder could have had you over a barrel on this one. So at least someone was a decent human being.
