Yes. The borrower is responsible for any deficiency between the amount of the loan plus applicable fees and what the vehicle sells for at auction. The lender is legally required to get a sale amount as close to the vehicle's real value as is possible. Therefore, the sale price is used to determine the amount owed by the borrower not the blue book value of the vehicle.

Who holds the collateral in a loan with collateral?

Normally, unless it is a sort of pawnshop or personal type of loan, you the borrower hold the collateral. For example, if you get a loan on a vehicle, you have possession of the vehicle as long as you are making payments as agreed. If you stop making the payments, the one to whom you owe the money (the lien holder) can take possession of the vehicle, sell it, and you would be responsible to pay the difference between what it is sold for and the amount you still owe, if there is a difference.


What does a secured loan and unsecured loan mean?

A secured loan is a loan in which there is physical collateral, meaning there is a physical item of worth that can be taken by the bank if the loan is not paid. Examples of this include a car loan or mortgage (house loan); the car or house are the collateral and therefore are the 'security' that the bank will not lose money on the loan. An unsecured loan is a loan in which there is no physical collateral, meaning there is no item of worth the bank can take if the loan is not paid. Examples of this include credit card debt or a student loan; in these cases, if the loan isn't paid the bank has to use a collections agency to try to get the money back.

What is collateral as it relates to the business?

The word collateral in business is that the bank has rights to take away your collateral or something that you put in stock that you own. For example, John owns a farm and he took a loan. The problem is that he didn't deposit his loan in the bank back, so the bank took his collateral that he put in the bank if he didn't pay his loan back. So that is why the bank has John's farm. So I prefer that if you take a loan, then pay your loan back. Or else your collateral is bye-bye.
