Yes - if the car loan was with the dealer, the dealer can sue the debtor for the balance of the car loan after the car is sold to someone else.
They can choose to if they first obtain a judgment for the unpaid balance.
You can take possession of it for an unpaid mechanic's lien, yes.
yes
Yes
A car dealer can hold a repo as long as he is the lien holder on the title.
YES, a lender can get a judgment for the balance owing on a loan after repo.
Yes, if the Lien Holder of the vehicle gives them permission to repo.
They are not lying to you. A repo is a repo is a repo.
No, if the car does not have a lien, then the dealer has no legal interest in it.I'm not sure why a dealer would even try to repo something they had no legal interest in.
Yes, if they have or obtain a judgment against you for the outstanding balance of the loan, plus collection fees, legal fees, repossession fees, storage fees, auction fees, and any unpaid balance. Essentially, you could end up owing much more than the original loan, and if (when) they obtain the judgment, you will have no say in how they collect it. they can garnish your bank accounts, attach other assets with court order, and garnish your state tax returns as well.
IF the dealer is acting as the banks agent(hired to repo), YES.IF you bought the car from that dealer, the dealer may have had "recourse" on the loan, so that he/she had to do the dirty work if you didnt pay. $124.00 is not the main question, how LONG has the $124.00 been in default??
The contract called for interest as long as you had the car. IF they get a judgment for the balance owed on the contract, it will call for interest until it is paid. READ your paperwork.
