"Voluntary repossession" basically means you're telling the lienholder "Come repossess this; I'll make it easy for you."
Since the lienholder has no interest in the property, that means they'll come take the mobile home itself (or you could take it to them), but the property itself won't be impacted except to the extent necessary to drive in a couple of tractors to haul away the mobile home.
It depends on what the new owner plans to do with your unit. You can ask the current owner if he knows.
You may still end up owing a lot of money on it ,and you won't have it ! State laws vary on this - better to negotiate a settlement of some kind.
You are lucky. If you cannot make the payments contact the lender and try and work something out. If not voluntarily turn the car in yourself. You will save yourself the repossession fees.
if i get my car repossessed, can they put a llien on the house?
what happens if i voluntarily return my car to the bank due to job loss
Chris, I dont know the answer to the question YET. I will find out today. Email me latyer on and Ill have it for you. What does the lender "say" they will do???
If you take your personal property before the vehicle is picked up, you can keep it. If you voluntarily turn in the vehicle you get to keep anything you want. If they have to hunt it down and tow it off, you're just out of luck. They'll throw away anything that was in it and if someone picks it up, it's theirs.This is not true.. The creditor must account for all personal belongings found in a repossessed car.. The below answer came from the following site... http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/searches/repossession.html"What happens to personal property left in my car?Personal property does not apply to improvements made to the car, such as a CD Player, stereo or luggage rack. It only applies to items not connected to the vehicle. The creditor or whoever repossessed the car CANNOT keep or sell any personal property found inside. If the creditor or whoever repossessed the car cannot account for personal property left in the vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation and should consult with an attorney"
You NEED to show up with proof of your little to no income. This is your chance to convince the lender that the chances of repayment are slim to none. If you dont show, they get a default judgement.
then theyre out of a home
They are sent to an auction and sold.
Normally your credit is ruined for 7 years.
You will also be liable for any deficiency balance
