Best Answer

When you get a loan you sign a legal document that states that you will make the arranged payments on time. There is usually a clause that states when payments are deemed late and how many payments can be missed before the loan is considered "default" and they own the vehicle, outright. The lender is then allowed to "repossess" their property by any means they choose (usually a towing agency). If you resist their efforts to reclaim their property (hide the car or incapacitate the vehicle) you are considered to be in possession of stolen property and subject to arrest.

Can you be taken to jail for a car loan being overdue?

No. A car loan is a civil as opposed to a criminal matter. Being behind on a debt is not a criminal matter, therefore you cannot be arrested for it. Never the less, if you are behind on a car loan and if the loan is secured by a lien on the car, you may be arrested if you interfere with the loan company's attempts to repossess the car, provided that state you are in has laws that make it a crime to interfere with a repossession. But even in this instance, you are not subject to arrest for being behind on the loan, you are subject to arrest for interfering with the repossession.

What is a Straw purchase on a car loan?

A straw purchase is when someone else signs for a car loan but the loan is being paid by someone else. For instance person "a" has bad credit and person "b"does not. Person "a"signs for a loan under the idea the car is for them, but it is actually for person "b." Person "b" then gives the car to person a to drive as their own. Person b is responcable for payments, but hopes person a will make them. This type of loan is not allowed. If a dealer knows this is taking place, they will not sell the car.

Can you Lease a car from someone with a loan on the car?

No. In my experience and from what I've read, it is not wise to lease a car from someone with a loan. They can still be held responsible for the car if anything happens to it. If you cannot afford to make the payments and the bank comes to collect the car, and the owner does not have it, they can be arrested.
