No you cant be taken to jail for that you have done no crimes at all it is not a crime not being able to pay your car even if you do it on purpose, not paying for the vehicle. Other wise allot of people would be taken to jail especially now with the economy down.
No. Not if the circumstances are as simple as stated. Repossession is a civil law procedure, not involving criminal law -UNLESS- the vehicle HAD already been re-possessed and you went and took it back from the repossession impound lot, or the repossession agent or the bank. If it had already been taken and impounded then, yes, you could be charged with auto theft.
no unless your not apart of a the program
good luck hiding a vechile from the repo-man! they cantrack down a vehicle by using the vin number and plates. after they get a hold of the vehicle, you'll either go to jail or have to pay a really big fine
No, the lender can not have you put in jail because they have a lien on you car. They can press charges against you in many states if your vehicle is up for repossession and you attempt to hide it or hinder the agency hired to secure it from recovering your car. Or, if the lender secures a replevin and you still refuse to turn over the vehicle, you will go to jail then for contempt of court.
yes,you may be catched by cops.
yes you can
Yes. It's called hindering a secured creditor. Sometimes, depending on the value of the vehicle, it is a state jail felony. It's in the Texas Penal Code under fraud.
You being arrested has no bearing on your loan. As long as you make the payments on time there will be no repossession. The loan company does not care if you are in jail as long as they get their money.
Sort of. In many states hindering repossession is a crime. It is not exactly grand theft auto, but it is comparible. More often than not, the lender would obtain an order of replevin, a court order for you to surrender the vehicle. When the repossession agent returns with this order, if you still refuse to turn over the vehicle, the law enforcement officer accompanying the agent will arrest you and take you into custody, and then you will surrender the vehicle or remain in jail.
It is possible; Wisconsin is a self-help repossession state. Hiding the vehicle is called hindering repossession and is comparable to auto theft. When you purchase a car by loan, you do not technically own the car outright. You own it cooperatively with the loan provider. When you default on your loan, you give up the rights you had to the vehicle, and via lien law, the loan provider now owns the vehicle. Therefore it is not yours to hide.
NO, there are no more debtors prisons.
It is illegal for anyone to threaten anyone with jail time. However, repossession drivers may as a rule warn debtors that if they do not surrender the vehicle that the potential for arrest exists. This is not a threat. Many lenders will automatically authorize the petition of replevin when a debtor refuses to cooperate. If a replevin is served on a debtor and that debtor refuse to surrender the vehicle, he is likely to be arrested, and held until he surrenders the vehicle, or a judge is satisfied with the time the debtor serves for contempt of his order.
