It is not required. However, if you do discover where the vehicle is to be sold, provided it is close enough for you to travel, you can attend if it is a public auction as opposed to a dealer aution, and you bid like everyone else.
Now, that being said, it seems it would be much easier for you to pay the redemption and storage fees, reclaim your vehicle, and get out for less than if you were to attempt to purchase the vehicle. You will be help accountable for the fees regardless, and the money you pay goes to the lender either way.
The lender should let you know, you can contact them and they should tell you.
ASK the lender.
If it has been repossessed the lender will usually stop all collection activities until the vehicle is disposed of through sale. It is unusual but the lender could decide to keep the vehicle but should they do that than they waive their right to a deficiency.
The LENDER keeps such records and will share them with you ultimately.
Yes The lender has to provide you with this info.You should demand it from them. The lender is required to provide this only if requested in writing by the debtor.
IF the lender obtained a judgment for the balance due, YES.
NO, the truck probably has been sold already and the lender got a repossessed title to sell it with. Of course they do make mistakes. LOL
When a vehicle is repossessed by the lender it is sold at a public auction for as near the fair market value as is possible. The amount the vehicle is sold for is deducted from the balance of the loan and the borrower is responsible for the repayment of that amount plus any interest and additional fees. If the borrower is unable to make a payment agreement with the lender, the lender does have the option of suing for the amount owed and legal costs. It isn't possible to give a definite answer on if the lender will or will not sue the borrower for the debt.
requirements vary by state. call a local attorney for guidance.
Susan, what state are you in?? Who was the lender?? Laws vary by state. Email if you need too. Thanks
Yes until it has been sold by the lender, contact the lender and pay the bill
Yes, they also have to send you official letter from auction at the price they sold it to deduct from the amount you own to the bank.
