[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1367164, member: 7488"] Well, they have to have SOME VIN record, considering they have a title and a license plate. But if you have the title one year/make/model and it can be seen visually that the trailer is another year/make/model, then the missing VIN doesn't matter much. The lien holder can still verify through the manufacture by how the thing was constructed. I.e. if you have a VIN on your Ford Truck, and it says you have a Dodge Neon, one can be pretty confident that it is a Ford Truck and NOT a Dodge Neon. Despite what the VIN tells me. Aside from the fact that tampering with VINs is pretty criminal. I have to work with this every day with salvage vehicles (trailers are only slighty different in how they are handled). It's not fun to resolve. And if you plead ignorance, OTC and Law Enforcement generally don't go any "easier" on you. As others have said, a attorney is necessary here. No way I would try to wing it myself. P.S. The exception to the trailer having a VIN is if a modular home is on a foundation, anchored, and otherwise permanently attached (i.e. with brick replacing the skirting), then it can be added to the title and deed of the property rather than being maintained on a OTC title and license plate.
