What’s different about refinancing a car loan in South Dakota
Vehicle titles in South Dakota are issued by the South Dakota Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division (titles are applied for and processed through county treasurers' offices).
South Dakota issues the certificate of title in the name of the vehicle owner, and when money is owed the state simply notes each lienholder in order of priority on that title record rather than transferring ownership to the lender; the title record is then maintained electronically by the state until every lien is released, and a secured party may obtain electronic confirmation that its security interest is on file.
South Dakota runs an electronic lien filing system, and if a lien has been noted electronically no paper certificate of title may be issued to either the owner of record or the lienholder; a paper title is printed only in limited situations, such as after the lien has been satisfied and the owner requests one, when the owner is relocating to another state and the lienholder authorizes issuance, or when ownership is changing with the lienholder's authorization.
When a South Dakota vehicle loan is paid off, the lienholder must execute a release within twenty days after final payment is received, and the release must contain the vehicle identification number or certificate of title number together with the owner's name; the county treasurer then notes the cancellation and notifies the state, and a lienholder that fails to follow these release provisions is liable to the owner for all damages the owner sustains.
Under South Dakota's consumer installment sales contract law, when a buyer prepays the unpaid balance in full, or refinances or consolidates the contract, the buyer must be rebated an amount equal to the total finance charge contracted for less the finance charge actually earned, so that unearned charges are not retained by the original creditor after a payoff or refinance.
After a borrower defaults in South Dakota, the secured party may take possession of the vehicle either through judicial process or without judicial process, but a repossession carried out without going to court is permitted only if the creditor proceeds without a breach of the peace; the parties may also agree that the debtor will assemble the collateral and make it available at a place reasonably convenient to both.
Before a repossessed vehicle is sold in a South Dakota consumer-goods transaction, the notification sent to the borrower must describe any liability that person has for a deficiency and must give a telephone number from which the borrower can learn the exact amount needed to redeem the vehicle, along with a telephone number or mailing address for further information about the disposition and the underlying obligation.
A South Dakota borrower, a secondary obligor such as a co-signer, or another lienholder may redeem a repossessed vehicle by tendering fulfillment of all obligations secured by it plus the reasonable expenses and attorney's fees the statute permits, and redemption may occur at any time before the secured party disposes of the vehicle, enters into a contract for its disposition, or accepts it in satisfaction of the debt.
