You voluntarily surrendered your car it was sold at auction then you were notified it was still in your name and found abandoned in Texas do you have any rights to further money from sheriffs auction?

I assume that you owed money on the car, defaulted, and the car was repossessed by the lender. At the time of auction, the title should have been transferred. The title should have been transferred when the car was sold. The auction house didn't handle the paperwork properly and will have a real mess to straighten out. But that does not entitle you to profit from the sale.

Once your vehicle goes to auction and it is sold for more then what is owed who gets the remaining money?

you do.AnswerDepends what state you are in, but where I am, it is called "surplus" funds and they are owed to the debtor. AnswerI think in biblical time that was referred to as a MIRACLE. Vehicles almost never sell for more than what was owed on the loan. Most end up with a deficiency that the debtor still owes. If your car sold at auction for more than you owed I would take the remaining money they owe you and get to Vegas quickly cause you are darn lucky...


During a foreclosure if your house is sold for less than you owe can the bank come after you for what is leftover?

Yes. And they normally do...because they owe it to others. You borrowed money from them and bought a house. You owe them the money. Not the house. You would have kept any amount you sold it for that was more than you paid...you would not have given them more. You would have paid them what you owed them only. They did not buy the house, alone or with you. You probably would have owed them less after all, had you sold the house on your own...because you will owe them all fee's and costs they have to incur to sell the house at foreclosure to recover funds you were to pay, and having to act to do so. You made a bad investment with money you borrowed. That's all.
