Your car was repossessed years ago and you don't have info on the auction sale and how much it was sold for are you allowed a copy of that information from the creditors?

Yes The lender has to provide you with this info.You should demand it from them. The lender is required to provide this only if requested in writing by the debtor.

Is it legal for the finance company to call everyone in your family and your friends asking for you and for your car payment if you are late on it and they cant get ahold of you?

Yes. To stop the harassment, make up the payments, or contact the lender and make some sort of arrangements. I can assure you that they don't want to repo the car.

Would you let your car be repossessed or would you file bankruptcy?

There's no definitive answer to a question of this type, as the final decision would depend on the person's overall financial situation. Bankruptcy is a very serious action and should only be used as a last resort. Especially in light of the new bankruptcy reform laws. Even in bankruptcy (unless it is a 13) a vehicle may have to be forfeited, depending on the vehicle exemption status and the terms the lender is willing to agree upon.

A lender filed at court to repo your car but since the account has been made current with 20 payments left will they withdraw the motion do they want the car or the money?

In most cases they want the money. The car's value if resold and the borrower's ability to pay any deficit could play a part in their decision. If the borrower can convince the lender they can fulfill the agreement, the lender will more than likely withdraw the filing.

If behind on Chapter 13 payments can a dismissal be prevented or reversed if payment is made for past due amount?

It can't be reversed, but if it is dismissed without prejudice, you can refile a chapter 13 six months from the dismissal date. The best option is to meet with the trustee to discuss the problems with the schedule that the person now has to see if it can be modified.

If your friend takes over your payments while the car remains in your name can he get full coverage insurance and list the lien holder you make payments to?

Your name must be on the Title or Loan in order to get car insurance under your name. Otherwise this is considered Insurance Fraud. It is punishable by the law.

Can you stop payment on a check?

Yes you can stop payment on a check. Just call your bank and they should walk you through the process. Sure, as long as the check hasn't already been paid. The bank might charge you a fee for it, though. Yes. The chances of success depend on the information you provide to the bank. If it is insufficient, then the check might not be stopped. Banks may charge a fee for this service. Just had this experience and found out that my credit union PAID an item that we requested a stop payment for. It evidently fell through the cracks on their end. Anyway, after bringing it to their attention, they were able to recall the payment, advising us that they had a "48 hour window" to recall any funds paid out. Hope this helps. (P.S. providing as much info as possible to begin with really helps, also there was a one time $10 fee, which was better than the $120 item stopped!)

How far away can they take your repossessed car?

They can sell the vehicle anywhere it is 'commercially reasonable". MOST lenders try to keep the vehicles in the same state they are repoed in. You should contact a LOCAL attorney for state/case specific advice.

If you lease a car and in turn subleased it to another party because they did not have good enough credit can you legally repo the car yourself even though they paid the payments but are not on lease?

Unless the process of sub-leasing is a part of the original contract, the person who leased the vehicle might end up in a lot of trouble. It is irrelevant if the person who has the car has been making timely payments. The person whose name is on the lease is totally responsible for anything that happens to the vehicle. Which can translate into the person who actually is driving the car having an accident, the insurance being invalid due to breach of contract, fraud, negligence, etc. on the part of the original lease holder. It's quite possible they could end up in court on the 'wrong end' of a nasty lawsuit. I saw one CarLeaseDepot.com that certain car leasing companies do not allow full transfer of contract responsibility. About 10-20% do not allow full sub lessor lease transfers. Therefore you would need to contact your leasing company for their lease transfer policies. Also if you did a contract between you and someone simply for the payments you could definitely repo the car. Usually it is the person on the title but since you are a lessor the title belongs to the leasing company. Therefore speak to them to initiate the legal repo.

Can you have a total stranger take over your car and make your payments for you?

It is best to have the person buy the vehicle off you straight out. Then in turn, with the money you receive from him/her you pay the remainder of the loan. It gets too complicated for someone to take over car payments and you sure don't know this person. They could well leave the country and leave you holding the bag.

If you obtained a car loan for 16K and after 39 of 60 payments a total of 17K was paid and the car was reposessed are you obligated to pay future interest on the loan since the 16K was satisfied?

You may have paid a total of $17K but not all that money was applied to the principle so you have not paid off the loan yet. Lender will most likely sell car at auction to recover some of their losses and then you will be responsible for balance that is left. If you don't pay they will either write it off and ding your credit rating or sue you for the balance. QED.

What happens if you stop paying your monthly payments?

Your car will be repossessed, your car will be sold, you will be responsible for the difference in the price the car sells for and the balance on the loan plus repossession fees, and your credit will be ruined for 7 years. Contact the lender and work something out. Don't let this happen to you.

If a co-signer has taken possession of a vehicle because the borrower became delinquent is the co-signer now responsible for all payments on the car?

If the primary borrower has defaulted on the vehicle loan, the co-signer will need to make regularly scheduled payments and any that have been missed. If the co-signer is unable to do this, the vehicle may be repossessed by the lender. In which case both the primary borrower and co-signer will be responsible for any deficiency and fees incurred when the vehicle is sold. The repossession will also appear on both person's credit report. It would be advisable to contact the lender to discover what options might be available pertaining to the specific circumstances.

How many days do you have to be behind in your payments in New York before they can repo your car?

As soon as you have defaulted on the loan, a creditor can repossess your car. So 24 hours after you have failed to pay, they can repossess your vehicle without notifying you.

Is it possible to find auto parts using the cars VIN?

Yes! Try Baxter Auto. Most of the time, though, auto parts are found by model, make and year.

Can the dealership charge you with auto theft if you are in default on your payments?

Not if you are on the title to the vehicle and own it. Whoever holds the loan on the vehicle can repossess the car however if you are late with payments. Contact the lender and work something out. You do not want your car repossess. Credit will be ruined for 7 years, and you will still have to pay the repo fees plus the difference in the balance on the note and what the car brings when they sell it.
