The notice shall be deemed effective if sent by certified mail addressed to the person at the person’s address as it appears on the records of the Department.
4. Any person who receives notice of the lien may request a hearing to contest the existence or amount of the lien. If a hearing is not requested within 10 days after the effective date of the notice, the Department may seize and sell the vehicle.
