Yes. That's a common misunderstanding by a lot of people. You are responsible for the entire loan amount. The vehicle title is held as security for the loan but any amount that is not covered when the vehicle is auctioned off is still owed.

Since your car has been reposessed can you be made to pay the balance legally?

As far as I know, in this state if it's repo'd it's sold at auction then your responsible for any balance left remaining between what's owed and what it brought at auction. But that's here and could be different by state. Yes you can, If the car is taken from you, you can be held legally responsible. They will take and sell the car at auction to the highest bidder. You are then responsible for all costs inccured from the sale. The balance remaining.

How long till they repossess once you are late.?

As soon as 10 days after due date of payment. The laws vary from one State to another, and a finance company will not usually reposses on day 11, but they legally can. More often it's 30 days, or until you owe two payments. You may get your car back if you pay all late payments, late charges, and the remaining balance owed. If the finance company sells the car and gets more than what is owed, they must reimburse you the difference. They can also reposses if you let your insurance lapse. Protecting their interest.

If your car was repossessed 7 years ago can creditors come after you for payment now in the State of Georgia?

Yes. Well, maybe. Your are legally responsible for payment of the remaining balance of the loan for seven years from the last date of payment. In the event a judgment was obtained, you are responsible for ten years after the date of last payment. Quite likely, there is a judgment, as this would be the only security the lender has of receiving payment.


Do you have to pay the balance of your car loan after it is repossessed?

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.
