yes you do so the bank or dealer wont report it to creditors. When a vehicle is repossessed it must be legally sold for the fair market value, or as near as possible to that price. The amount obtained by the sale is applied to the remaining balance of the loan. The borrower is responsible for any deficit amount plus applicable fees. A repossession is almost always entered on a credit report.

Can you keep a car that your name is not on loan but was given to you by the deceased?

You need to have the title transferred to your own name and notify the loan company of the change in ownership. Then you will need to pay the balance of the loan or renegotiate the loan with the bank. If you don't pay the loan the car will be repossessed.

How do you stop collections on a repossessed vehicle My car was repossessed in Missouri the bank sold it and now a collector wants me to pay the balance not the difference. Any advice I need help?

When your car is repo'd and it is auctioned off you are to pay only the balance of what you owe on the loan. So if you owed 10,000 and is sold for 8,000 you pay the balance of the loan whic is 2,000. If you have collections on your credit report call and have it investigated this way they cant keep renewing it for 7 years.

Yes. If you take out a car loan, fail to make payments, and the car is repossessed, you will have to pay the difference between the price the lender received at auction and the balance remaining on your loan.Since repossessed cars are usually sold at wholesale auctions, the difference can be thousands of dollars.
