They will....eventually. Regardless, you still owe.
It will go on your credit,
Yes, they can. They can't finance you car if your car is a stolen car. When you put your car from a finance company, make sure that your car isn't stolen and bought it in a big car company.
how do you find out if the owner still owe a finance company on the car you are buying?
The insurance company will pay the finance company not you.
ABSOLUTELY.
It should not take very long to finance a car, depending on the car's model, condition, etc and also the finance company you are financing the car from.
Someone has the car and the finance company has a lien on it. Any sale would have been fraudulent.
YES.
ask your finance company
You cannot. You could get alternative financing from another finance company and they buy out the original and everything transfers to them. When you signed the paperwork for the car, you promised to make payments and you are legally bound to do so. If you dont then the loan is secured by the car and the finance company comes and takes the car. IF you dont make arrangements to pay for what is owed, then the company sells the car for a huge loss, but they come back after you for the difference.
You still have rights to recover the vehicle. The finance company may help you look for it if they're desperate enough to get it back. Even if your car was insured, you would legally have to payback the finance company for the car since you broke a binding finance contract.
If you financed your car then it is always owned by the finance company, regardless of if the dealership is in business or not, until you finish paying it off.
