Default Ford Motor Credit and getting a title

I had bought a 2011 Ford F250 4x4 & financed it thru Ford Credit since I got a $1,000 knockekd off the price of the truck if I financed thru them for at least 3 months. After paying on it for 3 months I paid the truck off. When I paid the truck off I was told that it woud take a month or 2 to get the title. This was back around the first of October 2011. Well today it hit me that I have not recieved the title yet so I call Ford Credit. The girl tells me that the title was mailed out to my home address around the first of October and that they did not have it. For $17.95 she said she could get me a lien release letter so I could go to my DMV and get a replacement title.

I do not think I should have to pay $17.95 to get a letter of release of lien. Am I over reacting or is this ______? I have a call into the dealer I bought the truck from but the person I need to talk to in not in today.

Might want to verify it's not electronic.

Now in Florida, unless specified at purchase the titles are electronic rather than paper...this is for both cash and lan purchases.

It's March and I'm still getting Christmas cards.

Chances are it's lost in the mail, and It's really not Ford's fault that the USPS phucked up the delivery.
It's only 17 bucks, pay it and be done with it.

Why would Ford Credit send you a title? The DMV processes the title. I would think that you could take your paperwork to the SOS and they would get you a new title. then get the dealer to have Ford Credit fax a lein release to the dealer for free. atleast that is what i would do for my customer
