β 13y agoI heard if you surrender your car back to the bank the loan is from, they will auction the car to get money back, if they DONT get the whole amount of what you OWE on the car... They will bill you the balance.T
A repossessed vehicle is sold at auction to repay the lending institution. After the vehicle is sold, any money will be used first to pay the auction company, the repo agency and then all remaining funds will be applied toward the amount due on the loan. If anything is left over, you should get it. If there is a deficit, the bank will contact you to make arrangements for collection of the amount owed. You typically don't get any money "back", but usually end up owing the bank.
You can be sued by the finance company to recover any money still owed to them after they auction the repossessed mobile home.
Yes. What happens is that they auction the vehicle. They can auction a vehicle 10 days after they repossess it, not before. They take that money, apply it to the loan. Whatever balance is left is what you are responsible for. One thing you can question, is what the vehicle is auctioned for. They have to make every reasonable effort to sell it for book, they just can't sell it for $10 if it is a $10K vehicle, if you know what I mean. There are guidelines that they have to adhere to.
The lender owns the vehicle and is required to sell it at a public auction for as close to the market value as is possible. It is likely the judgment wage garnishment is a result of money still owed on the original loan amount plus fees that were not covered in the sale of the vehicle.
A lien means that money is owed on your vehicle. If there is no more money owed, then there is no longer a lien, and the vehicle cannot be repossessed.
If it is repossessed, you will owe the difference between the loan amount and what they sell the vehicle for.
It depends on the nature of the seizure. A repossessed vehicle has to be returned i it has not been auction to a 3d party. If money was seized by a tax agency, maybe.
yes. When a vehicle is repossessed by the bank it doesn't mean that you stop making payments. You are still liable for the loan.
Yes, you can. Alot of times they will work with you. They don't want your car, just your money!:)
From expierence, we had a vehicle repossesed over 10 years ago. I don't know if it's legal or not, but the company has been getting money from us ever since. I don't even know how much we still owe, they do not send a statement or anything.
Buying a repossessed car today can be a great way to save money, but be careful to inspect the car to be sure there are no hidden problems since they are typically sold "as is". Some dealers specialize in repossessed cars and you can also find them at a local auction.
