Can a vehicle be repossessed by the lien holder for not having insurance in the State of Maine?

Yes, if the contract requires that the borrower carry insurance coverage. If the borrower fails to adhere to any of the requirements stated in the written agreement the contract is in default and the lender has the legal right to recover the vehicle.

Yes. Once you have forfeited on the contract, it is void. The lender at that point can legally expect payment in full. Toward that end, they may take the vehicle and sell it to pay a portion of the balance.

Can my vehicle be repossessed for no insurance?

It is not outside the realm of possibility; however, it would need to be a provision in the original sales contract. Since all of the US states require insurance of some sort on all vehicles, it is possible that a lender has written this in to the contract. It would protect their collateral in the event insurance lapsed.


After your vehicle is repossessed and the car has been auctioned off can arrangements be made for the remainder of the loan balance?

The vehicle was repossessed for non-payment of the lease, correct? You still owe all the money to the lender, even though you no longer have the car. You signed a written agreement with the lender promising to pay a certain amount each month for how ever many months were in the lease. You breached that written contract by not paying the monthly lease - Just because the car is taken away from you does not absolve your financial responsibility to pay for the remaining parts of the lease.

A contract is valid when there is a meeting of the minds. Once a contract is signed, it cannot be changed unless written as an addendum and signed by all parties concerned. A verbal agreement cannot override a written agreement.
