It depends on what state you are in that you chose NOT to post.
Not sure I understand reply. I co-signed loan with ex, whom lives in other state now. Car was reposessed in that state and I was not notified by ex. I did not know car was sold at auction since bank sent me its notice of intent to sell to an out-to-date address ( I found this out after contacting bank upon learning of repo). I can prove the bank had a current address on me. Can I fight the deliquency balance since bank knowingly sent notice to wrong address.
You will also be liable for any deficiency balance
A delinquent account is any account that has a past due balance. It will remain in delinquent status until the account has a zero balance.
READ your contract you signed. Call a local attorney for state specific legal advice.
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
depending on where you live and your bank or finance company, you will either have to pay the entire balance or just catch up on the payments and late fees plus all repo fees. Call your lender and I'm sure they would be happy to answer your questions.
No, it has to be settled before you can close it.
Yes. Most lenders give customers 10 to 15 days grace to make a payment or for a payment made to post. However, by the language of most car notes, anything past a certain period of time (usually two weeks) is considered delinquent, and the balance of the loan is owed. The lender at this point is not required to accept anything less than payment of the remaining balance. And, the vehicle can be repossessed at any time to secure payment of the remaining balance.
No. Absolutely not. Your driver's license cannot be suspended for not paying a loan or the balance of a loan, repossessed or not even if you get threats from the loan company.
Yes.
Yes.
If the account was secured by what ever was purchased, then it is likely to be repossessed, and regular collection procedures will begin to collect any remaining balance. If the account is unsecured, collections will begin against the guarantor or primary on the account. It is possible that the guarantor may be able to get all or part of the debt covered by any funds available from the cosigner's estate, but this would likely require the assistance of an estate attorney.
IF the lender obtained a judgment for the balance due, YES.
