Can yousitch co- signers?

The finance institution will decide if the new co-signer qualifies or not.

Can someone take over car payments in a vehicle sale?

Yes, but typically the loan "originator" remains responsible unless the actual loan is transfered to the new purchaser. Letting someone "take over payments" on your loan is a very bad idea. If there should be an accident, the title is still in the sellers name and they remain ultimately responsible. I have had parents pay cash for a car for their kids and place themselves as the lienholder. Legally they can't be sued if there is an accident and the kids can't sell the car without the parents signing over the title.

How do you make your car louder?

u can either take the muffler off the cat or enclose the cat in a 6 inch box, other wise u can fuse 2 cats together although it costs a bomb 2 do. try cleaning the cat with some bicarb and a bottle brush. this should give it that extra sound cos there's no dirt to absorb the sound and if you want you could take off the exhaust pipe to make it insanely loud or use a hot dog exhaust to make it louder

If you can't afford the payments on a vehicle can you give it back to the dealership?

You need to make those arrangements with whomever "financed" the car for you. If you got dealer financing, then yes ... if not, then dropping it off at the dealer will do you no good and is considered "vehicle abandonment".

There is a good chance that whatever monies you have paid will NOT be returned, as you did get the use of the vehicle for a certain period of time. There could also be a "cancellation fee" as part of the original financing contract. Read all the fine print.

The other caveat that may come into play here is vehicle value. If you bought the car brand new, and now are returning it because of inability to make the payments, you might be "upside down" in car value compared to what is owed ... in other words, what you still owe on the car may be more than the cars current value, as now it is a "used" car and subject to the fair "trade in" value at the dealer. It may be that any difference between what is owed and the current car value may still have to be paid when you relinquish the car. For example, say the car current value is $5,000 and your loan is for $7,000 (as it was at the origination of the loan), you may have to make up the difference ($2,000) in order to just "get rid" of the car. You may be better off keeping it for a few years and doing whatever is necessary (2nd, 3rd jobs for instance) to make the payments every month. A car is the worst investment anybody can make ... when new, the depreciation is very drastic, sometimes dropping a third in value just driving it off the new car lot and once around the block, as now it is no longer "new" but now "used".

After repossession and the company sells the car do you have to pay the balance on the loan according to Iowa law?

Yes. When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car. Talking with Your Creditor

It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late. Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying. Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report. Seizing the Car

In many states, your creditor has legal authority to seize your vehicle as soon as you default on your loan or lease. Because state laws differ, read your contract to find out what constitutes a "default." In most states, failing to make a payment on time or to meet your other contractual responsibilities are considered defaults. In some states, creditors are allowed on your property to seize your car without letting you know in advance. But creditors aren't usually allowed to "breach the peace" in connection with repossession. In some states, removing your car from a closed garage without your permission may constitute a breach of the peace. Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property. A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation. Selling the Car

Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold. In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale). In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession. The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable. Paying the Deficiency

A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing. In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract. Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense. If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment. Remember this repossession will stay on your credit for 7 years.

If you are behind with Chapter 13 payments is there anything you can do to prevent or stop a dismissal such as a payment for the past due amount?

The BK trustee usually waits until two payments have been missed and then files a Motion To Dismiss. There will be a time specified (usually 30 days) in which missed payments can be made up in FULL. If the amount owed is not presented before the time expires the 13 will be dismissed without further notice. If the filing is less than 60 months the trustee might agree to meet with the party involved to discuss possible modification of the BK plan.

Your mom gave you a car as a gift is she legally allowed to sell it without your permission?

Legally, if the Title is in your name, Yes you can. Morally, eehhh.... You could ignite some unwanted feelings. This also depends on some details of the situation:

-- What is it's worth
-- Why are you selling it ?
-- --> To buy a better car : Probably Ok.
-- --> Because you don't need it anymore : Probably should ask.

What monies do you have to surrender in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

It is not necessarily surrendering monies as it is being placed on a very disciplined payment plan to repay the debts you have incurred over the years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a structured repayment plan, and involves a debtor paying off as much of his or her debt as possible over a 3-5 year period. An individual's debts are not discharged under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but rather, the individual may lower his debt payments to affordable levels. He will then have a certain period of time to pay off his debt. The plan for getting out of debt is formalized and approved by the bankruptcy court.
