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.

Do most finance company allow you to pay the late payments and then continue with the agreed contract if the vehile was repossessed?

If your vehicle has been repossesed then your best option is to no longer make payments until this vehicle has been resold; which takes place through an auction. Once vehicle is sold you will receive a final bill for the remaining amount that was left over. The final stage of this process is to settle for 30% or less on the remaining balance.


What will happen if you can't pay your car loan?

They take the car. The lending institution will take the car back, sell it at auction, then leave you responsible for the remainder of the debt, which you'll have to pay to the lending institution after they take you to court. As a suggestion, either pay for the car or sell it. You can sell it for far more than they'll get at the auto auction, then you'll have less to owe to the bank. Your car will be repossed and it will have a negative effect on your credit history for a while. * The vehicle can be repossessed and sold at public auction. The borrower will be responsible for the difference (if any) between the sale and loan amount plus the costs of repossession and other applicable fees. A repossession remains on a credit report for 7 years.


If your car is repossessed and they auction it do you have to pay the amount that they tell you is leftover on the loan?

Melissa, what does your contract say?? It also depends on what state you are in. Usually, YES, you do have to pay.


If your car is repossessed do you have to pay the balance?

you'll owe what's left on the contract after the vehicle is sold (probably through auction). Example: you owe $2500, the car sells at auction for $500, you owe $2000 because you signed a contract stating you'd pay a certain amount, that's what the creditor is after.

How do you get a repossed vehicle back?

If your car is repossessed and you want to get it back, you can contact the finance company and clear any outstanding payments. They may agree to return your vehicle to you if they have not already sold it but be warned that lenders try and sell repossessed vehicles as quickly as possible to try and recoup funds. The finance companies often sell the repossessed vehicles at a car auction. Here they can be sold "as seen" and at a lower price than market value, thus they can be sold quickly. It is often possible to find out which auction your car is being sold at and you can get your repossessed vehicle back yourself by attending the car auction and bidding.
