Yes, provided...

  1. ...the vehicle is securing the loan. In which case the vehicle is not really yours, it is the lender's and they are only rightfully taking back with is theirs.
  2. ...the lender has secured a judgment against you for non-payment of a debt, you have failed to pay or there is a remaining balance, the lender has taken every option to secure the debt but has not been successful, and petitions the court for liquidation of real assets to cover the debt. But, then they are not really seizing you vehicle, they are getting an order for the vehicle to be perhaps secured by law enforcement or an authorized agent and sold.

If it's paid for and it's worth anything, they can put a lien against it and maybe force you to sell it so you can pay them what you owe them.

If a young unmarried person dies without a will what happens to their car payment and bills?

Creditors can make claims against any estate left by the decedent. If the car loan is not paid the lender will repossess the car. If there is no other estate the creditors are out of luck unless there was a co-signer on any of the accounts. As bills come in the creditors should be notified of the death.

Creditors cannot 'take" anything from a debtor without due process of law.debt.You can do a web search for the bankruptcy laws of your state. That will give you a list of exemptable assets. Cars usually cannot be seized by creditors. Except of course, the financial institution that holds the car loan .If your car is paid for, it may still be covered by a set exemption amount. Creditors prefer to garnish wages and bank accounts. Seizing real property is a costly and lengthy process. It seldom results in enough profit to be worth taking action.
