Well, there's not much to it. The car loan company has already decided to write your loan off, so one day a tow truck will appear in the driveway to take the car away. It will then go to an auction and the loan company will get what they can for it. You are all done with this loan, but you might get a courtesy letter from the loan company telling you what the car sold for at auction. DO NOT think that this is a demand for the balance between what you owed and the auction price. IT ISN'T. SO DON'T PAY ON IT, just throw it in the garbage. I don't know why they send them, because you certainly don't care, so I assume it's some kind of legal requirement on their part. Don't assume that this means the end of your ability to get a car loan either. You will just have to pay a higher interest rate, because your credit rating will have taken a hit, but if you really need to get another car on credit I'm sure you will. Maybe try a Buy Here, Pay Here kind of joint, or even try and get a car you could pay cash for. Plenty of 500 dollar cars for sale on Ebay on in the local automart papers. It's not the end of the world, unless of course now you have no car you can't get to work or something. I mean it's not the end of the credit world for you.
