An action for debt where indebtedness is evidenced by or founded upon a contract in writing executed within the state shall be commenced and prosecuted within six years after the cause of action accrues, and not afterward.
The debt is NOT forgiven. See link below. ArizonaRevisedStatutes
They can take whatever the security for the loan was. For example, if you have an auto loan, they can repossess the auto. If you have a home loan, they can repossess the home. If the loan was a recourse loan and the value of whatever was repossessed was less than the amount still owed on the loan, they can get a deficiency judgment in a court of law. If the court grants a judgment, they can they take other assets.
Yes, and quite often they are. It is not uncommon for vehicles to be repossessed while the family who owes on them are on vacation. I've sent agents after vehicles in Arizona and Florida for cars that were registered in Michigan, Indiana, or Ohio.
Arizona allows deficiency judgments, but there is one exception that allows many homeowners facing foreclosure to avoid this worry. Purchase money mortgages on one- or two-family homes on less than two-and-a-half acres will be denied deficiency judgments. However, a deficiency judgment in any case may be allowed if a court finds that the homeowners committed waste. Ariz. Rev.

The state of Arizona will let you sell four vehicles annually without a dealer license.
If the lender repossessed the car while case was pending and you were protected by the automatic stay, the repossession was illegal and you should be able to get the park back by filing the proper motion with the court. If the case is over, you need to make the payments and have adequate insurance to keep the car if you did not sign a reaffirmation agreement. If they legally repossessed the vehicle and sold it, you are out of luck but you are free from paying any deficiency. Consult an Arizona attonrey to determine if the seizure was legal under the laws of your state.

I thought that Arizona was a non-deficiency state, but when the bank accepted my offer they alerted me that they would be coming after me for the difference between the sale price and what I owe (which is over $100k). They said that if the house was sold for less than 90% of what you owe, than they have authorization to come after you for the deficiency.
Yes.
