If the car is reposessed do you have to pay off the balance of the loan or the late payments?
Yes, you contracted to borrow money. That money was loaned to you, it is gone. Now you have the principle and the interest. The vehicle that was repossessed only secured the loan. The lender did not want your car, but your failure to pay as promised left them no choice but to secure some sort of payment. Now you have what remains, plus costs and continuing interest. If you fail to pay now, you may have no choice in how the lender collects the full amount.

Can a vehicle be reposessed for late fees on the loan?
It depends on how many times you've been late on vehicle payments. Most of the time though as long as you are making a payment of some kind on the loan your vehicle will not be repossessed.
Where do loan payments go on the income statement?
Loan payments are typically not shown on the income statement. Instead, they are recorded on the balance sheet as a reduction of the loan liability.
What are deferred payments?
Putting off payments until the end of a loan or to be paid over the course of the remainder of the loan. This will not effect the balance of the loan but there may be fees for not paying on time.
Why is my interest higher than my principal in my loan payments?
Your interest is higher than your principal in your loan payments because the interest is calculated as a percentage of the remaining balance of the loan. In the beginning, the balance is higher, so the interest amount is also higher. As you make payments, the balance decreases, resulting in less interest being charged over time.
Can a co signer sue the person who defaulted on the loan for the amount of the loan in question since the car was reposessed and that person is working and more than capable of making the payments?
Not likely. If you cosign then you are saying "I trust my credit in this person's hands." If the signer does not pay then it is the responsibility of the cosigner to take care of the payments.

If the cosigner of a auto loan files bankruptcy and the borrower can't make payments what happens to the auto and the balance of the loan?

If you have been late on payments and they want to repossess can you still catch up without paying the remaining balance of your loan?
