Could you have a judgment filed against you if you are married but separated?

If you are married, you are still a legal entity with the other person, so a judgment filed against them would also have your name on it. Be sure to include some verbiage in your divorce agreement about it, and if possible, arrange to have it paid from any joint monies before sorting out the settlement. Obtain a copy of the "paid" letter for your records.

Can you be arrested for repossession of a car?

Repossession of a carDo you mean, "can you be arrested for not allowing repossession of a car?"

If so, then yes, you can.

If you meant 'can you be arrested for repossessing a car?" you can't as long as you have a permit/license to do so and conduct yourself in a lawful manner duriong the actual repossession.

Added; In potentially violent situations, repossessors will sometimes call law enforcement and ask them to 'stand by' while they take the vehicle, but only to prevent a breach of the peace. Law enforcment will play no part in assisting in the actual repossession of the vehicle, inasmuch as repossession is done under a civil court order, and is not a criminal matter

What is a charge off on your credit?

A charge off is when a creditor basically gives up trying to collect the debt and "charges off" the debt from their books. They do this more for their benefit than the one who owes. It allows them to close out the file and clean up their records. This looks especially bad on a credit report.

You cant purchase another car because you are still on your ex-husbands car loan as co-signer do you have the right to take his car if the late payments and lack of insurance are affecting your credit?

Unless you have a stipulation in your divorce decree regarding responsibility for the loan, you are stuck until the loan is paid off. The only one who can repossess the car is the company who holds the loan, but the amount owed would still be outstanding. You could see if you could get him to refinance the loan on his own...I am not sure about your liability if the car is totalled without insurance to cover it. Meanwhile, pay all of your bills and work on getting your credit into shape. If you can save money to pay cash for a car "for now," that would help you for the short term.

What happens if you cannot pay on your car loan any longer will your credit be bad and for how long what if it is aution what about the upside down amount that is left after being sold do i still pay?

If you can't pay anymore, the lender has the right to repo. The repo will be reflected on your credit report just like everything else. It will stay on their just as long as everything else. If it is auctioned, the lender has the right to charge you and seek judgment on the difference that the car sold for vs. what you owe them. So yes you will be hounded for the difference plus any costs to repo, ship, auction, paperwork, etc.

I own a mobile home and my grandfather is the cosigner. He is now deceased without a will or estate and I would like to sell my home. Can I sell without going to probate or re-financing?

Is he on the deed as well? Those are two separate entities. If he is just a co-signer on the loan, you can sell at any time. If he is on the deed, you have to do an "Affidavit of heirship" process.

If you are the only surviving heir this is simple. You just have to find 2-3 people that knew your grandfather and know that he wished you to have his property.

If there is more then one or two heirs to his estate, each one will have to sign an affidavit of heirship.

In Arizona do you have to pay the balance in full if your car is repossessed?

I have never lived in Arizona but I am in car sales and am familiar with the law in Tennessee and Virginia and North Carolina I would imagine the law would be similar because of interstate commerce laws.

If a car gets reposessed that has a balance on it from the leinholder the leinholder has a reposibility to its shareholders to recover as much of the risk as possible. What leinholders do is take a vehicle to an auction or private sale and get the most money they can for it. If the amount owed by the individual is $12000 and the financial institution only recovers $8000 it is the responsibility of the debtor to pay the difference of $4000 plus any charges accrued to prpare the vehicle for sale such as tow truck and or auction fees. if the car gets sold for more than $12000 than the former borrower gets the difference because it is still considered their asset and debts.

What if your vehicle is financed and you get arrested and it gets impounded can the finance company get it from impound?

They usually wont get involved unless they are going to repossess it. You will still be responsible for th estorage fees and fines. Generally, a lienholder will inquire of the impound lot, as to if the vehicle owner has made contact and attempt to redeem. If there has been no owner contact or, as in this case, if they are made aware of the owners situation, they would probably monitor the status of their interest (the vehicle) to be sure it is redeemed prior to sale date. If the owner or lienholder does not pick up the vehicle it will be sold at auction. Proceeds first cover fees to the impound company with any balance payable to the Clerk of Court for disbursement to lienholder. (Florida)

Do you have the right to reinstate your vehicle loan after repossession?

From what I've read over the past few day trying to get my own car back...it depends on the state you live in.

California allows you to reinstate your loan but it's not easy. Obviously people enter this situation because of financial hardships and then they want all late payments and fees, extra $400 fee to process the repo, then towing $250, then storage up to $40 a day.

In my sad case of 8 weeks of unemployment after making nearly 6 figures included other fees we would normal just pay---now difficult and impacts the retrieval of my car... I had to pay parking tickets $400, monthly insurance $225, ironically our registration expired the same monthly $369, and the negative balance in of my joint checking account...this is disgusting and a misfortune that may be to rich for my blood.

I hate that they can do this no matter how hard you try or keep in contact. My car payment was less then 45-days late. And my rep was informed that my first paycheck for my new job was Friday, they took it 4 days before. I hate San Mateo Credit Union.
