If your car was repossessed voluntarily sold in auction for over 5000 dollars why would the finance company still want an amount over 10 thousand dollars?

OK, you signed a contract agreeing to pay ABC lender "X" dollars per month for "X" months. That = "XXXXX.00" dollars.Lets say $20000.00 for even numbers. You paid them 3000.00, the car sold for 6000.00. That's $9000.00 that has been applied to that account. But that leaves $11000.00 still due on that contract that you agreed to pay. They likely got a judgment for that amount and will now proceed to collect that judgment. Good Luck

Is it illegal to take a car back from the recovery people after it has been repossessed?

It is illegal ALL day long and in EVERY state to do so. DONT DO IT. "EVERY" state includes CA and FL.

If your auto is "repoed" then in most states the agent has to report to the local authorities. When this is done they have a record that it is in the agents' or lenders' possession. if you still have keys and take it, it is auto theft.

It is only illegal if you get caught trespassing something repo man do everyday.It is not auto theft!!!it is your car !!!Having said that don't do it!!!!It is not worth it!!

Will your credit be damaged if you as a cosigner continue to make payments on a car loan when the primary signer declares bankruptcy?

When your car is repossessed will the finance company generally allow you to make payment arrangements on the deficiency or demand payment in full?

make payment arrangements on the deficiency???? IF you mean the amount you're in DEFAULT on, NO If you mean the amount due AFTER they sell it, USUALLY NOT. Why?? You couldn't pay notes on a car you could drive, so why would they think you will pay on a car you DONT HAVE??? NO lender WANTS to repo a car, they just want the money. So when they have to repo a car, they will go after the money very seriously. Nothing personal, its only money...

How can you purchase a car if you have a car that was hidden from repossession for eight years for what it is worth in PA?

If this car has never been repossessed after eight years, it has still been charged off as a bad debt and will remain on your credit report. Lenders can follow you for the deficency balance as long as they wish to refile it. If it had been repo'd, usually after seven years it is dropped from your credit report if there was no unpaid balance. You will have a hard time getting another vehicle financed in your name. Get a copy of your credit report from the three majors, and see how it looks. You would have been wiser to surrender the vehicle and take your knocks early rather than hiding it.

The former owner of the car, now still owner of the DEBT, gets to pay the debt. The leinholder will likely get a judgment for the balance due and proceed to collect. Uless your name is 'turnip", you will pay.
