NO, there are no more "DEBTORS PRISONS".
Yes, you can sue a co debtor for at least half of the remaining balance. You would owe part of it as well.
Yes.
yes you do so the bank or dealer wont report it to creditors. When a vehicle is repossessed it must be legally sold for the fair market value, or as near as possible to that price. The amount obtained by the sale is applied to the remaining balance of the loan. The borrower is responsible for any deficit amount plus applicable fees. A repossession is almost always entered on a credit report.
If the lender has placed a judgment against you for the deficit balance (balance left after the car is auctioned/sold), then yes in most states, they can take the tax return and apply it to the balance owing.
Any leftover debt from that car repossession can be put in your bankruptcy petition..so if you owed $12k and the bank sold it for $6k..then you can file bankruptcy on the remaining $6k.
You are responsible for the remaining balance of what the vehicle sells for and what you owed when it was repo'd.
Yes. Even after the vehicle is sold, you'll still owe them the remaining balance of what you borrowed, and they'll continue to call.
The car will be sold at auction. Whatever it sells for at auction will be deducted from the balance remaining. The credit company may initially offer to accept a reduced amount on the balance, but, if you're unable to pay that, they will turn it over to collections for the full amount of the balance remaining.
Yes, you can sue a co debtor for at least half of the remaining balance. You would owe part of it as well.
Yes.
No, we no longer have slavery or debtor's prisons. It's unconstitutional.
Generally, if the car was sold for less than the amount owed on the loan the lender may demand that you pay the remaining balance owed.
The car goes to auction, then you owe the remaining balance of you loan + repossession and storage fees minus what the car was sold for at auction.
IF the lender obtained a judgment for the balance due, YES.
Yes. If you take out a car loan, fail to make payments, and the car is repossessed, you will have to pay the difference between the price the lender received at auction and the balance remaining on your loan.Since repossessed cars are usually sold at wholesale auctions, the difference can be thousands of dollars.
YES, read the contract you signed. How much you owe is partly due to how little you paid down and how much older the car is now.
When a vehicle is repossessed it is sold at a public auction for the fair market value (or as close to such as is possible). The borrower/debtor is responsible for any deficit in the amount between what the vehicle is sold for and the remaining balance of the loan contract plus additional fees such as cost of the repossession action. So, in that context, the person is responsible for the "full price" of the vehicle.
