I hold three letters from the Franchise Tax Board on vehciles which was sold and a relaease of liability was filed. I had to refiule a copy before they acknowledged. One such vehicle I sold to Vic from Vanamania (who is in Las Vegas, Nevada). The insisted I refile the release of liability before releasing the impending lien on my assets for unpaid registration. On another deal, I sold a Scirocc and filed the release. When they asked for a refile, I did not have the buyer's license number. Within 60 days, they filed a lien with my bank and took the fees out of my bank account. I don't know how they handle enforcement in your area but they certainly seem to take a proactive stance in the cases I have been involved in. That Mike Miller should be able to answer these questions. He's a former DMV as-- h...informant... errr. bureaucrat.
