YES, they can LEGALLY. This is more often used by collectors as a scare tactic than actually done.

Can the loan company issue a criminal warrant for arrest for non-payment on a auto loan?

Warrants are issued by a judge, and not a loan company. The loan company can repossess an automobile or can sue in court to recover the vehicle or what is owed on it (plus costs). The police do not come and arrest people for not paying off a loan. Lastly, disagreements over payment issues regarding a car loan are civil matters, not criminal ones. Also please be aware that is illegal for an institution collecting debt to threaten arrest, or imprisonment. You can report this to the FTC (if they are under their regulatory authority) and state Attorney General.

What is the definition of warrants?

A 'warrant' is an authorization or certification providing assurance or confirmation. thus it can be: * A voucher authorizing payment or receipt of money. * A judicial writ authorizing an officer to make a search, seizure, or arrest or to execute a judgment. * A certificate of appointment given to a warrant officer (e.g. a policeman) 'Warrants' can also mean adequate grounds to justify something (e.g. the standard of the pupil's homework warrants the highest mark)


Is it possible to get an auto loan with no down payment four months after bankruptcy is final?

It's certainly possible since the Bankruptcy Code doesn't forbid it. The trick, I suppose, is finding a lender willing to let you do it. In Indiana, there are several buy-here pay-here companies who finance people right after bankruptcy, but I believe the terms aren't great (i.e. they pay about twice what the car is worth and then high interest rates on top of that). In Indiana, it is usually better to wait 12 or 15 months after the case is over so the terms start becoming more reasonable. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
