How does a willing reposession effect your credit?

Can car company put lien on house if person is on SSI and can't pay car loan Voluntary repossession.?
Not directly, and not always. In order to put a lien on a house a creditor must have a "judgment" against the person who owns the house. In order to take a judgment, the creditor usually must repossess the car, sell it at a commercially reasonable sale, credit the proceeds (less costs of taking and sale) to the account, and demand the remainder as a "deficiency" balance. If the debtor doesn't pay the "deficiency", the creditor can sue in the civil courts. The debtor usually has 30 days to answer the deficiency claim, and there are MANY, MANY defenses to deficiencies. For example...that the creditor did not give the debtor the option of a public or private sale; that the creditor, after repossession, did not give the debtor a fair opportunity to redeem the vehicle; that the creditor violated the consumer's rights in taking the vehicle without a court order over active and unequivocal protest; that the creditor overcharged the debtor on interest, finance charges, insurance premiums, documentation fees, etc. The debtor may even have a counterclaim against the creditor for violating repossession laws, which in any event would equal the finance charge plus 10% of the cash price. This is where an experienced consumer defense attorney is essential. Bear in mind, however, that the creditor can forget about the repossession of the collateral and sue directly on the obligation, which would make the debtor have to defend at an earlier stage.
If have a voluntary repossession in the State of California are you still liable to pay off the loan?
In California, yes. In some states, no (i.e., Texas).

However, you might be able to come to an agreement with the lender to make reduced payments and keep your account current and your credit good. This is all assuming the lender is not able to sell your car for as much as you owe them. If they sell it for more (including costs of repossession and sale) then by law they must refund the difference to you. If you think about what that would cause IF it was true, you would knnow the answer. Did you read your contract???

That would only serve to drive up the costs to those debtors would DIDNT do a voluntary repo. ??YES.

In Texas, after an auction, if the sale of the property does not cover the total debt owed, the creditor can pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower for the remaining balance. To do this, the creditor must file a lawsuit within two years of the auction sale. If successful, the court will issue a deficiency judgment, allowing the creditor to collect the remaining balance through wage garnishment, bank levies, or other collection methods. It's important for the creditor to adhere to Texas laws regarding notification and court procedures to ensure the validity of the collection efforts.
