Yes. That's why the credit union has possession of the title. If you used the car as collateral for a loan and default on the loan the lender will take possession of the car and sell it to offset what you owe on the loan.
Typically you need a car with insurance to get a title loan. If your car is totaled, the loan company are entitled to that money since they hold the title for your car.
You didn't have the title to begin with. The loan company or bank does. So, you didn't loose it, but you may loose the car since it is in default . The loan company/bank owns the car, not you.
Yes. With the lender's permission, you can reaffirm the loan at the time your bankruptcy is executed.
The creditor reposseses the car, and you take the bus.
There are a few disadvantages to a car title loan including high interest rates. Loss of equity in the event of default and a short period of time to pay back the loan are also drawbacks to a car title loan.
If you don't pay a loan when due, you default on the loan.
IF the loan is perfected, it can be repossessed. If you have signed a loan contract with the vehicle specified as collateral for that loan, it can be reepossessed if the loan is in default.
If there is a loan against the car then the bank is on the title and they own the car, your name would be on the registration but not on the title, so yes they can repo it. If you have the actual title in hand then their is no loan on it and you own the car.
The short answer is yes, if you want to keep the car. Otherwise the loan will go into default and it will be repossessed. If you did not sign for the loan, it will not affect your credit.
Yes. However, if you default on your loan, they are legally entitled to repossess and sell it. Always be careful before committing to anything!
If you have signed the vehicle title over to them as security for the loan, or they hold some kind of legal paper giving them ownership, yes. If you don't pay back the loan, or fail to surrender the vehicle to them, legally the vehicle belongs to them. ----------------- No, it is a civil matter. They can repossess the vehicle, report as a default on your credit and sue you for defaulting on the contract. ------------------ READ YOUR LOAN CONTRACT! If you default, and then conceal the vehicle from them, or their repossession agents, you have "converted their asset to your own use" - which is the definition of larceny - which is a criminal offense.
