4 years on promissary notes. A judgment occurs when a creditor takes you to court and sues you for money you owe them. They must do this before the statute of limitations has expired for the original debt.

Technically there is no such thing. If the bank controls the title to the vehicle, it's theirs and they can go after it any time they like. * Texas SOL for the lender filing a lawsuit to recover a deficiency between what the vehicle sells for and what is owed by the borrower is 4 years from the time of the sale of the vehicle. (TCPRC, Section 16.004 (a)(3).)

The time frame on debt collection is 6 years in Georgia. Oral contracts are going to be limited to 4 years. The time usually starts from the point of last payment or acknowledgment of the debt.

How does voluntary repossession work on an RV in NC?

Instead of having it forcibly repossessed, you call your finance company and tell them you're voluntarily having it repossessed. They may send a tow service to collect it, or they may ask you to take it to the repossessor. It'll be repossessed, auctioned off, and the amount they get from the auction will be deducted from the amount you owe. The finance company may offer a settlement at that point for an amount less than what you owe on that vehicle - that's up to the finance company.
