If your car has been repossessed and now you ready to pay 50 dollars every month can bank still can take from your wages?

You should contact the bank ASAP. You will have to convince them that you WILL pay every month. That may not be easy after they had to repo the car. But TRY anyway. They have the option of collecting however they feel they wil get the most money. Its up to you to show them what that will be. Good Luck

Can you buy another car down the road if you have been making payments on a truck you never use and you can't afford the payments anymore if you repo the truck?

YES, you can. It may be harder to get financed (bigger DP and/or higher interest rate) but you can. You WILL have to pay the balance due on the truck so seriously consider SELLING it. You may have to put money with the selling price to get the loan cleared but it will be MUCH cheaper that way.

How can you anonymously report the VIN of a car that should be repossessed?

Tricky subject there. FIRST, they must be behind in the payments, LOLOL Then you need the COMPLETE VIN, plate #'s will be very helpful, address where the car hangs out most will be very helpful. Then you need to find a repoperson to give the info to. If you care to email me, I can forward the info to a recovery co. in your city. They can handle it from there. reporoosta at hotmail dot com . If not, good luck

2010-09-21: who are you, a nosy neighbor? Are you trying to get back at somebody? If you feel a car SHOULD BE REPOSSESSED and you cause problems for the owner and the car SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN REPOSSESSED, he or she might just come back and press charges against YOU for false accusations, invasion of privacy, maybe even (if the state you're in allows it) assault and battery by defamation of character. First, define your place in this scenario, make sure you are legally covered, and go for it. But remember - sometimes it's like grabbing a dog by the ears and pulling. Ouch!

After you file bankruptcy how long does the creditor have to repossess a car?

NOT sure on this, but it seems that until they give up the right to repo by getting a judgment for the amount owed, they could still repo. Once they get the judgment, they would not have the car for security for the loan. Ill check on it and post again in a couple of days.

They may let it go due to lack of security, but remember: no payoff, no deed certificate.

Is default on a lease a repossession?

Read your contract. It will tell you what default is. "Default" in leasing is when a Lessee fails to satisfy the conditions of the lease contract. Thus the lessee materially breaches the lease, and also usually when the lessee passes beyond the point of being able to remedy the breach as specified in the contract. Or, more simply, when the Lessee fails to live up to the lease contract and thus the lessor may take actions. "Repossession" is when a lessor acts to take back whatever property was leased. Terms for repossession are usually spelled out in the lease contract. Many lease contracts provide that when a breach occurs and the lessee is in default, the lessor may act to repossess the leased property. So the default may lead to repossession. But it is essential to study your contract and secure sound legal advice from a competent attorney in your jurisdiction to answer, "Can they take X away if I don't make my payments?"

Do you still owe the money if a lawyer buys a 7 year old repossession account and how will it affect your credit?

A judgment occurs when a creditor takes you to court, sues you, and wins his case against you. The creditor must do this before the statute of limitations has expired for the original debt. Typically, the court will try and contact you via mail, but they do not need proof that you were contacted, and you do not have to be present for your creditor to win. The creditor only has to provide proof that the debt is owed. You want to avoid this at all costs; for it is after a judgment is issued that a creditor can seize bank accounts, assets, or garnish wages. In addition, it is easy to renew a judgment once its statute of limitations has passed. In effect, if the creditor is diligent about his renewals, you could find yourself in the position where a judgment against you never expires. A judgment will drop off your credit report after seven years, but your creditor can hound you until the debt is paid.

How long after you let the lender know of a voluntary repo and the car has no plates and insurance should it be picked up?

Its NOT a matter of HOW late, just that you ARE late. Read your contract. That should explain when you are in DEFAULT.

Can a vehicle that the repo man cannot find even after a year be listed as stolen?

Not to my knowledge. The lender cant say its stolen because they LET you take it from their possession. You havent said its stolen OR you would have a police report to show it was. So, it's NOT stolen, you are hiding it to hinder repossession. Hope that's not a felony in your state.

My contracts state that if the borrower takes the vehicle out of state when in default that I could report the vehicle stolen. I never have tried, but I did pay an attorney to draft them up for me years ago.
