I need to know if this is correct? False Abandonment Claim and Improper Lien Threat It has come to my attention that you are attempting to declare my vehicle “abandoned” and/or assert a mechanic’s lien or claim title. This assertion is false and unlawful. My vehicle has never been abandoned, and I have actively sought its return. Any such action is prohibited under N.J.S.A. *:10A-* et seq. and N.J.S.A. 2A:*-* et seq.
****, here's some general information that might help:
- N.J.S.A. *:10A-* et seq.: This statute deals with the process of declaring a vehicle abandoned and the procedures for its disposal. If you are actively seeking the return of your vehicle, it should not be considered abandoned.

- N.J.S.A. 2A:*-* et seq.: This statute pertains to liens, including mechanic’s liens. A mechanic’s lien may be improperly asserted if the vehicle was not abandoned or the lien was placed without proper notice or justification.
It's important to document your communication with the party attempting the claim and seek legal advice for your specific situation. If you want to be connected with a local lawyer who can assist further, let me know!
