First Investors Financial Services lien release

Paid off your First Investors Financial Services loan? Getting the lien release and title

First Investors says it releases its lien within a reasonable time after payment in full. If it holds the physical title it mails the title to the address on your account; in states where its lien is recorded electronically it notifies the state of the lien release and the state provides you the physical title. It notes that mail delays can affect delivery and asks you to tell it if your address has changed.
