In some states yes. In some state the lender is not required to give any notice at all before or after. In some states, the lender is only required to give you notice after the vehicle has been repossessed.
No.
this is a personal decision for YOU to make. It is possible to notify the lender and they will be glad to find out the location of their collateral. Have the VIN of the car ready to give them if you dont know the loan #. Your son may not think highly of the idea or may not care.
Negotiate with the lender. Most would rather work out the problem than have a car they don't want back anyway.
NOPE. No state requires lenders to tewll you that you are in "repo status". The lender desire for you to make the payments will sometimes give you a clue.
You can try but they still can repo the car if it is out in the open. Make arrangements before it is too late. Good luck.
If your car is stolen, you should notify the police.
yes because they have to notify the owner
They do not have to notify you. You have no legal rights regarding car.
The amount you will owe the creditor will be the amount of your auto loan (including repossession fees, interest, and collection charges) minus the amount the vehicle sold for at auction. The creditor will notify you of the amount due in writing after they auction off the vehicle.
Yes they do have to notify you. If you are the parent or gaurdian.
no
Unless you are a creditor, I assume you mean can you surrender a car to the lender in a voluntary repossession. If the creditor will do it, you can. Obviously it will depend on the mileage and condition of the car, but these days it is complicated by the state of the economy, so not likely. You can surrender the vehicle in a Chapter 7, where the creditor has no choice.
