yes. even though you gave it up you are in breach of contract. the main purpose was to sell that vehicle and not have to turn around and sale it again. the depreciation of a vehicle drop about 3,000 when it leaves a dealers parking lot. they have to continue to make payments on it since you can't do it anymore. they pay for shipment, insurance on their cars just incase someone breaks into them and tries to steal the radios, etc. while parked on the lots. they have to fix up the vehicle if its repoed, that cost money. they have mechanics they have to pay and other employees-repo people as well. they have to pay taxes up front on every single vehicle and Business Taxes are a lot higher than individual taxes. they have to pay a registration fee on every vehicle. it ain't cheap. Spare me ..... if the banks lost money or the car dealers lost money guess what?? they won't do it!!!!!
The primary borrower is responsible for this debt, but if they do not make arrangements to pay the remaining balance of this debt (once its auctioned off) then you will be fully responsible for the remaining balance.
== == I know they can't garnish your wages but not sure about liens.
The lender will sell the vehicle and you are responsible for the deficency. They will sue you for the balance left on the loan after the sale of the vehicle. The court will order you to pay and they can garnishee your wages.
"remaining balance" as in what you are behind OR the remaining balance due on the loan??

Voluntary RepossessionOnce this vehicle has been auctioned off, the remaining balance that is left on this loan will be your responsibility to pay off. You can contact this collection agency once you receive a new statement of this balance. Usually the two options that you have is either make monthly payments or you can negotiate a settlement. Your best bet is to save anywhere from 30-50% of the remaining balance, and settle. Get everything in writing before making a final payment.
Yes, a voluntary repossession does not mean the buyer is not responsible for any of the remaining loan debt according to the original contract terms or for any additional fees.
No, you'll be * 1) considered a credit risk since you didn't keep up the payments on the car loan. * 2) have no collateral for the new loan
