Possibly, if the loan was not reaffirmed with the lender. The lender usually reserves the right to charge off the loan if it has been defaulted either in entirety or partially for 180 days. The exception would be if the borrower has proof of a material breach of contract.

What will happen if you close a credit card that has an outstanding balance?

You can close a credit card account at any time, regardles of whether there's a balance left on the account. If it's not past due, you simply make regular monthly payments. If it's delinquent and the creditor hasn't already closed the account for you, you'll probably also make monthly payments on the balance. In some cases of severely delinquent accounts, you can agree to pay one final lump sum, usually less than the total amount owed. However, this will appear unfavorably on your credit reports, as will "account closed by credit grantor". Regardless, it's probably a good idea to close the account, particularly if it's delinquent.
