you do.

AnswerDepends what state you are in, but where I am, it is called "surplus" funds and they are owed to the debtor. AnswerI think in biblical time that was referred to as a MIRACLE. Vehicles almost never sell for more than what was owed on the loan.

Most end up with a deficiency that the debtor still owes. If your car sold at auction for more than you owed I would take the remaining money they owe you and get to Vegas quickly cause you are darn lucky...

AnswerAnyone can go after anyone else in a court of law for anything they want. So I guess the quick answer is yes they can go after you. What you are asking is can they collect once you run and hide in another country. More than likely not. But when you come back to the good ol' USA and try to get another car loan you'd better have another one of those fake ssn numbers other wise you will show up on the radar scope again and we will hunt you down and find you.

If a car is driven by someone without the owners permission and then is involved in an accident is the owner of the car liable?

  • Generally speaking no. However permission can be implied in many cases. If this person who was driving the car without permission has driven the car in the past with permission you could have a problem. Also anyone living in the household may be deemed as having implied permission to use the car. If the car was truly stolen then the police would need to have been notified.
  • In the UK and across the EU - European Union tries to protect the injured party as best is possible and this may mean tracing a claim back to a policy of motor insurance. Thus, even though the owner of the car is not strictly speaking liable - the owner's insurer might have to pay out if the driver does not have the means to pay the claim. See the related link entitled "accident car insurance" to see more about the motor policies which will pay third party compensation in the UK.

Can the bank request the parts that were stripped from a car that is due to be repossessed?

It is not clear whether the bank can or will request the parts that were stripped from a car. However, the condition of the car will affect the resale value. If the bank elects to recover the amount that you owe on the car, it must resell the car at fair-market value, which is often based upon the Kelley Blue Book. If the bank sells your car for more than your loan balance and the costs for the resale, then you would get the difference. If the bank sells your car for less than your loan balance, you would owe the difference plus costs. For instance, if you owe $15,000 and the stripped car only sells for $7,000, then you would owe $8,000 plus costs. This is called a deficiency judgment and is likely in most situations.1

If you backed your own car into your other car and both suffered damage how will your deductibles and fault be applied and will this likely increase your rate on one car?

Normally both these vehicles would be on the same inscuance policy. If this is the case, usually the Insurance Company will only have one deductible. With any accident there is a chance that there can be an increase. This would be considered At Fault.

It is also possible that your policy has a clause which EXCLUDES a collision between two vehicles on the same policy.

The person who was driving will be considered at fault for the damage to both vehicles. The collision deductible on the car that was moving would apply to the damage on that vehicle and there would not be a deductible for the damage to the parked vehicle. Rate increases will depend on many variables and will be determined by your individual insurance company's policy.

If your car loan is almost 30 days late will they try to repossess it or will you get some kind of notice beforehand?
