About Cardinal Gray

When a lender gives out a car loan, they need to file a lien with their borrower’s DMV. This is difficult because the process varies dramatically by state and county. We've handled over $10B in filings and are helping lenders like Capital One and OneMain file liens on around 30k cars each month.
