If a person's car gets repoed, the bank can report it on their CR in any state. When they redeem it doesnt matter, its the fact that it got repoed that gets reported.
Lets say your financing a brand new car. You owe $25,000 on it and when it gets reposessed you still owe $18,000. The reposession company will sell the car and that gets subtracted from what you owe. Lets say they sell it for $7,500. So they would subtract $7,500 from $18,000 which means when all is said and done, you still owe $11,500 on the car.
You get a BIG black mark on your CR and future loans will be at a higher than normal interest rate and/or a higher DP. PLUS, you will still have to pay the remaining balance on the repoed car. Do your best to SELL the car before repotime.
No. Who ever holds the note gets to decide how the vehicle is resold.
"How will filing for bankruptcy help before your car is repoed? As soon as the B/K is filed, an AUTOMATIC STAY is in force. lenders must stop ALL collection efforts. If your not able to file for bankruptcy before being repoed how long will it take for them to garnish your wages in Ohio. ": That will depend on how quickly the lender files the paperwork, the court gets to it,ect. Guesstimate?? 1-6 months.
Because they would have to invest more money to get it repoed than they could get back when its sold. Example: car will sell for 1000 as-is vs having to pay 1000 more to get it repoed and it would still only sell for 1000.
