The simple answer is, yes!

Let's go from the standard cause and effects. At the day you purchase your car, you sign a contract agreeing to pay a certain amount of money monthly of a period of time. If during that time frame of that contract you either voluntarily surrender the car or it is repossessed for non payment, the standard contract agreement states that even if the car is surrendered or repossessed, you must pay the remaining amount of the contract.

Each style of contract is a little different. If you are in a lease contract for an example of 36 months, and must pay $1000.00 a month. The total amount paid over the length of the contract is $36,000.00 if it is completed. But let's say you turn the car in after the 26th payment. That would leave $10,000.00 remaining owed. The finance company can pursue you for that amount, as well, any additional fee's IE: Lawyer fees, court fees, collection fees, etc, etc.

Now if you were going to purchase the car and had a 72 month contract. The final price of the car once you signed the final paper work on the agreed price was $30,000.00. After making 50 payments and paid $22,000.00 so far. You surrendered the car; the finance company will auction the car at the standard Automobile Wholesale Value. You owe the finance company $8,000.00 still. But the car only sales for $6,000.00 in auction, you will still have to pay the $2,000.00, as well any additional fees. Now let's say the car sales for $8,500.00. The finance company must return to you any overage amount it receives. Keep in mind they still will take out the fee's there.

What if in bankruptcy you ask to keep your car and then can't pay it?

The car will be repossessed, unless you surrender it. If you owe more than the car is worth, the lender will not likely want to accept a surrender unless you can pay the balance due on the loan. Your state may not allow creditors to go after loan balances if they repossess a vehicle. Consult a local bankruptcy or consumer debt attorney.

Do auto cash title loans put a lien against your car?

Auto cash title loans do not put a lien on your car. What happens is you surrender the title to the loan company and they give you cash. If you fail to pay back the loan, they have the title and are now able to legally come and take your vehicle.


Can a cosigner take your car and pay off the loan then do you have to pay him back for the loan and fixing the car?

It sounds entirely reasonable that you would pay them back for the remaining amount of the loan and for the needed repairs. I assume that the co-signer was trying to get the loan off of his credit and that perhaps you were not paying regularly or on time. There may be other circumstances that are not addressed here.
