It will depend on the lienholder. Most Credit Unions have a Cross Collateralization clause in their in-house contracts. This means that the vehicle you purchase will also be used as collateral for any and all other loans you may have with them now or in the future. SIMPLE INTEREST CONTRACTS FROM DEALERS DO NOT HAVE THIS CLAUSE. Make sure to read your contract carefully if you are getting a bank draft directly from a bank or credit union.

If the lienholder does not pick up the car and there is still money owed, they can hold the title indefinetely or until a settlement is made.

What if your vehicle is financed and you get arrested and it gets impounded can the finance company get it from impound?

They usually wont get involved unless they are going to repossess it. You will still be responsible for th estorage fees and fines. Generally, a lienholder will inquire of the impound lot, as to if the vehicle owner has made contact and attempt to redeem. If there has been no owner contact or, as in this case, if they are made aware of the owners situation, they would probably monitor the status of their interest (the vehicle) to be sure it is redeemed prior to sale date. If the owner or lienholder does not pick up the vehicle it will be sold at auction. Proceeds first cover fees to the impound company with any balance payable to the Clerk of Court for disbursement to lienholder. (Florida)
