If you default on an auto loan and the lender repossesses the vehicle, they will sell it (usually at auction) and get what they can for it. The amount they receive is (almost 100% of the time) less than you owe on it. Using round numbers, the vehicle's contract cost was $20,000. When it was repo'd you owed $15,000. The lender sold it at auction and received $8,000. You owe the lender $7,000. And you have no car. If you do not pay this difference and you have an asset (like a house) they can come after you. Depending on the laws of your state, the lender may place a lien against your home so that they get their money when you sell your home, or there may be other legal remedies available to them. Be smart. Do not wait. Start asking questions of people in your state (i.e. an attorney) who can tell you what you are REALLY up against.
