I hold a promissory note that was defaulted on still owing $1000 and is secured by collateral of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle does not have a lien on the title. How can I get the rest of the money owed and the collateral? This happened in AZ. If I have to go to court does it have to be where the note was signed?

Why did you not put a lien on the vehicle ? When they signed the note, you file a lien. Nothing at this point stops them from selling the vehicle.

Normally yes, where ever the business deal occurred is where you sue at, unless your note says otherwise.

The note is a lien on the vehicle. You should have filed the note with the DMV when it was signed. However you can still do so.

You will need to check with the DMV in your jurisdiciton. It may be that a vehicle lien can only be created through use of the form on the title certificate.
