Three payments
When the owner defaults on the loan payments
as long as you keep making payments the lender will probably not repossess the property. however, if you miss one payment the lender can repossess the property at any time.
The loan company can repossess any car that the payments are delinquent on. Your BK does not prevent repossession of your car.
It is probably stated in your finance or lease agreement that if you don't make your payments on time that the finance company has the right to repossess the vehicle. Consider yourself informed. Long story short, if you don't want your vehicle repossessed you need to make your payments.
As long as you continue to make the payments, you are OK. If you fail to make the payments, they will repossess the car, sell it, and you will then owe the difference in what it sells for and the balance on the loan. The previous answer overlooked one important point. INSURANCE WAS EXPIRED If they don't repossess it, it is only because it is worthless after the accident. What they would prefer to do in this case is "accelerate the payments", i.e. make you pay the remainder of the loan immediately. Then you can worry about disposing of the carcass.
Why would a dealer ask for a car back? If you are referring to how long he has to repossess the vehicle after you stop making payments, the answer in most states is immediately.
Not as long as you make your payments on time. A co-signer guarantees that you will pay your loan off. If your co-signer dies and you don't make your payments the lender will repossess the car and go after you for any deficiencies.
YESIFyou are not up to date, if you are behind on your payments they can repossess at anytime. In most loans, there's a statement about late and/or partial payments that basically says the bank can take them but isn't obligated to do so and that taking one late or partial payment does not mean that they have to continue to do so.So, if you owe $200 a month, and pay $100, the bank can accept that and still repossess the car. They do have to credit the $100 towards the loan.Also, banks are usually allowed to repossess for habitually late payments. Most of the time a bank will consider this to be more hassle than it's worth as long as you're eventually catching up, but if you're chronically making payments several weeks late, they might at some point decide "this guy is a flake, we should get out of this deal while we still stand some chance of recovering our money."
The lienholder has an option to repossess when you become deficient on your payments for as long as you owe money on that vehicle. If you skip your last payment, that car can be repossessed.
You have to be behind on payments for 3-4 months before the bank will do anything usually. 3-4 months is the industry standard, but every loan is different. A bank can put stipulations of any type on any loan, within the law. So the answer would be it depends on your loan.
Yes. How many names are on the title and/or the loan means absolutely nothing... so long as there is a lien on that vehicle, that lienholder is the sole lawful owner of that vehicle, and can repossess it as recourse for delinquent payments.
