Seawest Financial Loans OUT OF BUSINESS AS OF 4/01/04 Columbus Ohio
Had a car loan originaly through Superior Bank, was sold to FSB Financial, THEN to Seawest. Have been making payments to Seawest with no issues for the last 3 years (never had a reason to call them). I recently payed off my loan, only to find out (after an hour on the phone w/ the prior loan holders) that a company called CPS has bought up all the Seawest Financial Loans. NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW (or want to tell me) ANYTHING. BE PERSISTANT!!! The number given 1-888-211-8075 is for the company CPS. I was told to call back in a week and hopefuly they will be able to locate and send me my title.
I advise anyone who had or has a Seawest Loan to call the 888 number before makeing any more payments.
IF by some means they can not find your title and you have payed off your loan, i was told to go to the DMV and request a CLEAR TITLE.
I suppose you would have to show them the most recent bill and the cashed check used in the final payment.
Good luck to anyone having the same problems I am. The system in this case SUCKS and is perposely set up to confuse and frustrate the customer into submission. DON'T LET THEM DO IT.

My husband was done wrong by Seawest as well. He was stationed in Georgia and needed a vehicle. We have been trying to get the title to the car for 4yrs. Georgia has asked us to send proof that Seawest no longer exists and a check for the cost of the title. We did those things and was told by Georgia department of Revenue that they lost the check, then they couldn't find the paper work. It took us 6weeks to get all the papers and stuff they asked for taken care of. Then it took them 6 more weeks to tell us that they lost it all. The only way I know to get your title is to send Seawest a certified letter(keep the little green card) to the last known address, wait for it to be returned, don't open it. Get online and search for paperwork that shows that Seawest is no longer in business, and get the title application from the state where you had the vehicle registered, Send a check for the title, along with the returned letter you sent to Seawest to the appropriate DMV. We found that Seawest, although they sold the loans to Consumer Portfolio Services, Seawest was in our case still the leinholder on the title. If you can prove they no longer exist, you may be able to obtain your title. I'm still waiting but I wish you luck!

I had similar problems, but mine ALL had to do with Seawest. My car has been paid off for over 2 years, but Seawest refused to release the title!!!! Now CPS has reported the this loan was a charge-off on my credit report for $7,000!!!! Were you ever able to get a clear title on your vehicle? I would really like one, but no one seems to know what I can do about it. Please help if you can.
