A creditor cannot reposses a car without BK court approval (i.e. relief from the automatyic stay). However, if you do not keep paying the car loan, a BK will allow a creditor to reposses the car.
It depends on what you want to do...If you want to get your car back, contact your lender and see what they want...
Yes, if you don't have full coverage insurance the collateral is in jeopardy. In other words if you were to total your car the lender has no collateral.
No, unless the co-signer was also part of the bankruptcy process. If not, then no the co-signer would have to be responsible for this debt. Wanda Improve Credit, LLC
It will show up as both. If the bank auctions off the car, they may come after you for a deficiency judgment. Any chance of them coming after you would be taken care of in the bankruptcy.
Nope.
The lender has to get the STAY lifted before they can repo.
Until the bankruptcy goes through, you continue to owe the money and the lender continues to own the security. Therefore they can indeed repossess your car. Where the car is parked is irrelevant. In most cases, they won't even know, let alone care, that the space is reserved for you. They will simply find the and remove it. Consult your bankruptcy attorney/solicitor or (in the UK) the Citizens' Advice Bureau for further advice. In the UK, at least, it is possible to be guilty of theft if you attempt to hide a car that belongs to someone else.
Yes, liens survive a BK unless the debtor files an adversary proceeding to have it removed (because the lien impedes an exemption). In a BK, the note from the vehicle sale is discharged- meaning that you cant be forced to pay your car loan. However, the lien survives- so if you dont pay, the lender has the right to re-posses the vehicle. If the lender does go ahead and reposses, the lender cannot go after you for the difference between the loan amount and the amount the vehicle sold for at auction.
no
Yes, IF the lender has a contract specifing the car as collateral for the loan. Once you use the car for collateral, all the titles in the world wont stop the repo if you default the loan.
ANY LENDER, by law, can reposses your car if your 1 day past due! There is no stopping them. You need to act fast before it is too late.
You search for it.
