yes, contact your leinholder and tell them that you will no longer be making any payment and where they would like for you to leave the car
NO, a lease is simply a contract like a loan. DEFAULT of either calls for repossession.
The license plates are yours to keep and transfer to another vehicle if you wish.
Some creditors will not do voluntary repo's because the collateral is not worth what the repo process costs them. I do recommend that you send them a letter certified stating you request the vehicle be picked up by a specific date and you will not be responsible for anything that happens to the vehicle after that date.
Yes, this is not only possible, but if you were responsible and surrender the vehicle for repossession it can be quite easy. I have had both a voluntary repossession as the result of a BK, and a voluntary lease surrender for the same BK. Since that time, long, log ago, I have had many vehicles, and many vehicle loans. At first I of course paid higher interest. But even that reduces with time and a good history.
YES, on a CR, a repo is a repo.
A repo is a repo is a repo, credit wise.
A repo is a repo is a repo.
as a repo
If you call the Bank; Finance Company and let them know that you are going to return the vehicle to them. They tell you where you can drop the vehicle off and you deliver it to that place. That is a voluntary repossession. The only other thing would be if the Bank; Finance Company agrees to pick the vehicle up at your residence at no charge.
It appears they are trying to help you with the 5 days part. READ the lease agreement for more info on when the lease is in DEFAULT.
They will try and get the balance from you either through the courts or thru negotiations with you.
For Experian, a voluntary repossession will remain on your credit report for seven years from the original delinquency date of the debt.
