Default Harley Lien Satisfaction Letter

Anyone have any experience with how long it should take to get a lien satisfaction from Harley Financial Credit after sending them a payoff check.
HDFC told me one week, three weeks, four weeks. Wondering if anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

I was told to give them a month but I had it in about 5 days.

Just paid off my Heritage about 2 weeks ago. I'll give them about a month before I call if I don't receive the letter.

I've gotten letters releasing liens in a week and others have taken as long as six weeks. It all depends on how busy the company is at the time and how long it takes your payoff to clear.

Haven't had to think about that, but it has got to be a nice feeling.

I got my title back about 4 weeks after they cashed my check.

Had mine and the wife's in a week. They said it would take about a month. So we were surprised when we got them that fast.
