Vehicle Title & Lien Instructions

Action required

As part of your loan agreement, Connexus Credit Union requires a lien on the security (“collateral”) you pledged for your loan.

You must provide the Certificate of Title or other proof of ownership reflecting Connexus Credit Union as the first lienholder within 60 days of opening your loan. If this is not done, your loan’s APR may be converted to an unsecured rate of 15.99%.

Choose the scenario that applies to you:

I refinanced my vehicle with Connexus

After you sign your refinance loan paperwork, Connexus will send the payoff check to your previous financial institution and request your title or lien release. You must then do the following:

  1. Contact your prior financial institution to verify the lien was released and the title was mailed to:
    Connexus Credit Union
    PO Box 8026
    Wausau, WI 54402
  1. If necessary, we will mail you the lien filing paperwork to complete, and then you must return it to Connexus. If all of the appropriate lien filing paperwork was completed electronically in your loan documents, no further action is needed.
  2. Complete and return the lien filing paperwork (and original title and lien release from your former lender, if requested) to Connexus. Upon receiving your completed paperwork, Connexus will submit it to the titling agency on your behalf.
  3. A new title will be issued according to the agency’s standards.
