If your car is repossessed do you have to pay the balance?

you'll owe what's left on the contract after the vehicle is sold (probably through auction). Example: you owe $2500, the car sells at auction for $500, you owe $2000 because you signed a contract stating you'd pay a certain amount, that's what the creditor is after.


If you had a vehicle repossessed and the vehicle was sold at auction how long would the financial institution have to legally receive payments for balance owed.?

From expierence, we had a vehicle repossesed over 10 years ago. I don't know if it's legal or not, but the company has been getting money from us ever since. I don't even know how much we still owe, they do not send a statement or anything.


Do most finance company allow you to pay the late payments and then continue with the agreed contract if the vehile was repossessed?

If your vehicle has been repossesed then your best option is to no longer make payments until this vehicle has been resold; which takes place through an auction. Once vehicle is sold you will receive a final bill for the remaining amount that was left over. The final stage of this process is to settle for 30% or less on the remaining balance.


What do I do with a car that was voluntarily repossessed and the finance company won't come and get it?

While most creditors will allow you to have your vehicle voluntarily repossessed, some lenders will not accept them. Your best resolution in this case is to contact the finance company and determine why they will not collect the vehicle. Ensure that they are indeed accepting the voluntary repossession. You will still be required to pay the remaining balance unless you are told otherwise.


Do you have to pay back the loan on a car repo?

Yes and No... Once the vehicle is repossed you are afforded an opportunity to pay what you owe and retrieve your car... If you dont meet the requirements to satisfy the lien holder, the vehicle will go to auction. After the auction whatever is owed on the remaining balance is is the responsibility of the loan holder & or co-signer.

Do you still have to pay for a car if you do a voluntary repossession in the state of Virginia?

Yes.. anywhere. When a vehicle gets repossessed (voluntarily or involuntarily) and it isn't reclaimed, the vehicle gets auctioned... the person who took the loan on the vehicle is still responsible for the difference between what was received for the vehicle at auction and what is owed on the balance of the vehicle (plus repossession, storage, and auction fees).


If you had the vehicle repossessed and it is listed as a charge off can they now sue you for the balance?

Yes. What happens is that they auction the vehicle. They can auction a vehicle 10 days after they repossess it, not before. They take that money, apply it to the loan. Whatever balance is left is what you are responsible for. One thing you can question, is what the vehicle is auctioned for. They have to make every reasonable effort to sell it for book, they just can't sell it for $10 if it is a $10K vehicle, if you know what I mean. There are guidelines that they have to adhere to.

Is it legal for the buyer to be charged the full price of their repossessed vehicle?

When a vehicle is repossessed it is sold at a public auction for the fair market value (or as close to such as is possible). The borrower/debtor is responsible for any deficit in the amount between what the vehicle is sold for and the remaining balance of the loan contract plus additional fees such as cost of the repossession action. So, in that context, the person is responsible for the "full price" of the vehicle.


How are funds distributed after sell of repossessed vehicle?

Whatever the sale of the auction is the bank will take it and pay the cost for the auction and whatever the balance is will be applied to what is owed. So if your car sells for $9 thousand, and the cost is $1k to sell $8k is applied to the balance of the car. If you owe $12k minus $8k you will owe $4k.


When your vehicle is repossessed where does it go?
