Nothing unless you receive a clear title of ownership from the lender.
The lender is required to notify you at your last known address as the details for redemption. You can CALL the lender, you will have to talk to them sooner or later. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Bankruptcy is an EXCELLENT way to stop Garnishments. Many attorneys can file an emergency peition to get that garnishment stopped NOW.. then go back and complete the bankruptcy later.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT STATE YOU ARE FROM OR WHAT ATTORNEY YOU HAD. I KNOW MY CAR WAS LISTED AND I MADE PAYMENTS... BUT I KNOW THAT IF I MISSED PAYMENTS, THEY WOULD TAKE MY CAR... SO,NO...IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO ASK YOU FOR ANY PAYMENTS AT ALL. HOPE IT HELPS?!
YES! They will get the proper permission they need, because what they are doing is perfectly legal. Contact the lender and work something out. They will get the car sooner or later and you will pay dearly.
IF the CA was assigned the debt by the lender, IF the CA bought the debt from the lender, most important, IF there was a judgment against the debtor. YES. 6 yrs of interest adds up. YES
IF the lender will accept it. they dont always pick them up, it depends on the condition of the car, VALUE of the car, amount owed, time of sunrise in New Zealand, ect.
You can hide it but, they'll come back later for it.
READ both loan contracts. IF they have a term "CROSS_COLLATERALIZATION" in them, debtor has no recourse. This can only happen if the contract has that clause in it and does happen when you have multiple loans at with one lender.
If you have come through a bankruptcy you have been through quite a bit. It is important to know that if your bankruptcy was dismissed, it may still be reinstated at a later date.
1st-- verify that you were not included in the bankruptcy--I've seen plenty of spouses that thought they did not go bankrupt but did. Signatures were requested by the attorney for certain paperwork--you signed without paying too much information---later you might find out you had been included in the bankrupcy. 2nd--if you were included in the bankruptcy and it was done jointly. Then that would answer your question about the car. The lender can't contract you because of the bankruptcy. Now, if you were not included in the BK and you are sure that you signed the promissory note on the car, then you should call the lender and ask for a detailed letter as to what happened with the account. You need to know that you might be opening a can of worms but it is either now or someone calling you later on this! You might find that when the car was sold, there was enough money to take care of the balance and any repo fees--so it is paid off. Or you might find that there is a deficit balance that has to be taken care of. (the car didn't sell for enough and there still a balance due) Make arrangements with the lender to pay off the balance -- see if they will re-write the balance as a brand new loan so that you can pay installments and get this reported as a good account on your credit report. You may have to do some explaining on your credit for the account that shows up as a repo. You can request that a quick explanation be added to the repo account on all 3 credit reporting agencies.
Legal or not, this happens every day. Inform the collection agency and the original lender that this was included in the bankruptcy. The collection agency may want to see proof but usually the original lender will call and request that - that particular account be sent back. Make sure you get something in writing from the original lender--and that the collection agency REMOVES their account off your credit report--check your report 3 to 6 months later, to make sure this has been done. If you don't want to wait--send a copy of the signed letter on the lender's letterhead to all 3 collection agencies and wait for their response. Even though it will take about 30 days--this is the quickest way.
The motive of a company to privatize,making a contract then later filing for bankruptcy was to raise cash to keep them a float.
