She cut me off mid-sentence and informed me I can't
possibly have the title to my car because it still has a lien on it. I
said
no, I paid the loan off in May, 2004. She came within a fraction of an
inch
of calling me a liar. She said (snippily) I couldn't possibly have paid
it
off because that's not what her computer shows.

It sounds like you never had the lien removed.

I loaned a friend money to buy a car (once, many years ago), and put a
lien on the title (He wasn't a good enough friend to make it an unsecured
loan).
When he paid it off, I had to give him a notarized statement that the loan
was paid,
he took it to the RMV, and the lien was removed from the title.

It's not like this is the first car I've ever bought. I didn't have to do
anything special any other time I bought a car. I paid the car off, got the
title was mailed to me, no muss, no fuss. I didn't have to do anything
extra or special. And this wasn't a private-party sale. I bought the car
new from a car dealership.

As far as the bank goes, the dealership's bank financed the car. They don't
know what friggin bank they used 5 years ago. I'll see if my bank can get
me a copy of the check I wrote to them. It's a start.
