If you voluntarily relinquish your vehicle can you be held responsible for more than the value of the car?

Yes. The lender is legally required to sell the vehicle at public auction for as close to the fair market value as is possible. The proceeds of the sale of the vehicle is applied to the loan balance and the borrower is responsible for any deficiency and possibly additional fees.

Do you still have to pay for a car if you do a voluntary repossession in the state of Virginia?

Yes.. anywhere. When a vehicle gets repossessed (voluntarily or involuntarily) and it isn't reclaimed, the vehicle gets auctioned... the person who took the loan on the vehicle is still responsible for the difference between what was received for the vehicle at auction and what is owed on the balance of the vehicle (plus repossession, storage, and auction fees).

What happens to my credit if I voluntarily give my car back to the bank?

Even if surrendering a vehicle is voluntary, you will still be responsible for the amount owed on the loan after the sale of the vehicle. Most lenders report to the credit bureaus and any unpaid balance will be reported, as will payments made or missed on this balance.


In Texas can you still be sued if you voluntarily surrender a damaged car to the lender?

Yes, there is no difference of application of debt owed whether a vehicle is voluntarily surrendered by the borrower or the lender takes steps to recover the vehicle. The borrower is responsible for all costs associated with the vehicle after it has been sold at public auction. If the vehicle has been damaged and cannot be sold under such conditions the borrower will be responsible for the entire balance of the loan plus fees and penalties. The lender has the right to pursue litigation to recover monies owed and if granted a judgment can execute it against property belonging to the debtor.


If a vehicle was voluntarily surrendered and sold can collection on the difference be stopped with bankruptcy?

With new bankruptcy laws that is no longer possible. If the person files for bankruptcy and includes the vehicle they will have to pay the entire amount of the loan.


If you voluntarily relinquish your vehicle will the lender allow you to repay any deficiency after the sale of the vehicle at 100 dollars a month?

It's not possible to give a definite answer as it would be the lender's decision alone. However, most lenders are willing to work with the debtor if it is at all possible rather than pursue litigation or perhaps force the debtor into bankruptcy.


You returned a car you purchased because you could not pay for it?

That is called voluntary repossession. You will be required to pay the difference in what the lender sells the vehicle for and the balance on the note after that amount is applied to the loan. You did avoid repossession fees by voluntarily turning the car in. Your credit will also show this repossession for 7 years.


If you voluntarily return a vehicle to the finance company are you responsible for the balance after the sale of the vehicle?

Yes, a voluntary repossession does not mean the buyer is not responsible for any of the remaining loan debt according to the original contract terms or for any additional fees.


What do I do with a car that was voluntarily repossessed and the finance company won't come and get it?

While most creditors will allow you to have your vehicle voluntarily repossessed, some lenders will not accept them. Your best resolution in this case is to contact the finance company and determine why they will not collect the vehicle. Ensure that they are indeed accepting the voluntary repossession. You will still be required to pay the remaining balance unless you are told otherwise.
