Likely, you will be sued for the amount owed after the car is sold. IF they get a judgement, they will have the option to garnishee your wages and/or attach other property that you own. YOU will have the option to try again to work out a payment schedule that you CAN afford on a car you DONT have. Or do the B/K route. Your credit will NOT be good either way. It is NOT fatal. Hard work will pull you back up.

Can a person let a wrecked truck get repossessed without any monetary issues?
That would be a particularly bad plan if you hope to keep a good credit score. The bank would have required you to have enough insurance on the vehicle to cover the replacement. If you didn't, you are financially responsible for every dime that is outstanding on the loan. If the truck is wrecked, the difference between the debt and the value is your responsibility.

Can repossession affect family members?
The only person it affects is the person the item is being repossessed from. Unless, one of the family members is a co-signer on a loan of the repossessed item. Then, they can bear the responsibility of repaying the loan and it will show on their credit report as well. I'm not aware of what is being repossessed, but the implications of repossessions may affect others...just not financially, unless taxes are involved (like a home).
