Absolutely, and in most cases it will be!
Yes - if the car loan was with the dealer, the dealer can sue the debtor for the balance of the car loan after the car is sold to someone else.
YES, a lender can get a judgment for the balance owing on a loan after repo.
I'm not sure if this is valid in every state, but I believe that if the car is sold at an auction, you will still be liable for the left over balance. If the car is sold at an auction and the sell price covers the balance of the loan then, I don't think you will need to pay anything else. Maybe some fees for the repo. I "think" this is how it works
This is a great question to ask the LENDER. "Charged off" simply means they have taken a loss for the income they didnt make on the loan. They can still get a judgment for the entire balance due.
Well now, you state that it WAS repoed, so yes you can be charged a repo fee for a repo performed.
No, that is the job of the company that gave you the loan. The repo company can take your car the second they find it, but the real expense and trouble comes from the loan company you stole from. If you do not release the car you are in possession of stolen goods after a court judgment.
You are combining two unrelated items.The bank doesn't care if your car is running or the problems with it they want their money.A voluntary repo is the same as a non voluntary repo you will still owe the balance of the loan after the car is sold and the amount deducted from your outstanding loan.
A repo is a repo, voluntary or not. Do not do a voluntary repo or any other repo. Terrible idea!!! Call the lender and work something out. See if you can find someone to take over the payments or possible sell the car to another part and pay off the loan. If you are upside down on the loan, then sell the car and borrow the balance to pay it off. Having your car reposed is a very bad idea. Your credit will be ruined for 7 years. You will also have the pay the difference in what the lender sells your car for and the balance on the note, plus repo fees. Do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening. I can assure you the lender does not want to repo your car. Call them!!!!
then they take your car and repo it.
More than likely, however you will still end up owing a balance on the car and the primary signer and co signer will still be responsible for the balance.
Non-payment of loan.
I don;t know what you mean by "Charged Off". Unless somehow they have written you off as a deadbeat and forgotten the car, which I doubt, they will come and get the car. They will then sell the car and you will pay the difference in what the car sold for and the balance on the loan. Your credit will be ruined for 7 years.
