In order to trade in a car you must be the only owner listed on the certificate of title. If a creditor is listed on the title that creditor must be paid off from the proceeds from selling the car or from the new loan.
hand it in when the credit crunch isn't around
Without any credit? Probably not at a reputable dealership without a co-signer. Probably yes at a shady used-car lot, but they will charge you outrageous interest and will vastly overprice the car you are buying and underprice your trade-in. If you are buying your used car with cash, yes. If you're going to need an auto-loan it will be very difficult or impossible with no credit. You can certainly sign up for a credit card with no credit and use it to build your credit. That process may take some time. If a co-signer is available for you to use you'll have a better chance than with no credit. Without either it will be nearly impossible.
Your creditor added a negative entry (a charge-off) to your credit report and will continue to attempt to collect on the debt.
Sometimes you can still finance a car from a dealer with poor credit but with a higher interest rate. There are also independent car lots that will finance a car for you. The only drawbacks from an independent car lot is they usually charge more interest and down payment.

While it is possible for a person to lease a car with bad credit, one must be aware of the trade offs. In general, one can expect higher interest rates, but improving credit scores can fix this.
In the United States, most rental car places do not require a cash deposit - unless your history with them is dismal. Rental car companies prefer having a credit card number on file - this allows them to add additional charges to your bill if you don't adhere to the contract you signed. For instance, if the car comes back dinged or dented, the rental car company can charge the repair cost to your credit card number. If you refuse to pay, that's between you and the credit card company - the rental car company will be paid by the credit card company unless you protest the charge as fradulent.
Be sure to include one-time charges like taxes, title and license fees, and the destination charge, An application should request authorization to obtain a credit report and to confirm any information you submit.
