7 yrs AFTER the date of the judgment, fed law requires the judgment to be removed from your credit file.
If you have good credit and wanted to lease a car would the lease be cheap?
I'd say yes because when you see commercials advertising leases at "$199 a month for 36 months" for well qualified customers, it means exactly that. So if you have a good payment history then yes your monthly lease payment should be low. However, be wary of the mileage clause in your lease contract because if you return a car at the end of lease over a certain amount of miles then you end up paying a hefty fee at so many cents per mile (sometimes $1000+ !).
The owner of the property where the vehicle is located can remove it/ have it removed, in most cases without the necessity of notifying the owner of the vehicle.
Can a car dealer change his mind and get his car back?
They usually don't change their mind. What happens is a dealer sales you a car and lets you drive off thinking the purchase is complete when in fact they do not have the financing secured. This happens mainly on weekends and after normal business hour purchases. If they are unable to secure the financing they will want the car back or you to get financing of your own.
How do you go about buying a truck that has been reported stolen?
You don't. Purchasing such a vehicle could result in you being charged with receiving stolen property. If you are purchasing an abandonded previously stolen vehicle from a police auction, they will provide a clear title. Otherwise, steer clear of such transactions.
Can a repo man repo a motorcycle in a locked garage with law enforcement assistance?
In most states, 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.

When is a repair shop responsible for a defective auto repair?
As an auto repair shop manager balancing warranty issues can be challenging. First and foremost has to be fairness. If a repair facility performs a repair you should always ask about the warranty before authorizing the work. Most warranties are pretty standard and cover the parts and labor involved. Any exceptions should be explained by the repair facility representative beforehand. If an installed part fails due to a defect or workmanship and is still within time and mileage requirements of the warranty then it should be repaired by the facility according to the warranty guidelines. If the installed part fails due to an "outside source"; i.e. damage inflicted upon the part that causes the part to fail then it is usually not covered. Let's look at an example: Say Joe's garage put a thermostat in your vehicle 6 months ago. Yesterday your car overheated because of a faulty water pump (leaking, locked pulley, etc.) and now your new thermostat is sticking because the car overheated. Technically that thermostat did not fail of its own accord. It was damaged due to overheating. The point is, find a shop that you are comfortable with. Build a relationship and have them earn your trust. Ask to see faulty parts, get the rep. to explain why the failure occured and if anything could have been done to prevent it. We are no different than doctors, we just work on your car, not your body.
A 'Repo Man' is a person who gets paid by a company to repossess anything (usually cars, planes, automobiles, etc.) that hasn't been paid for in 3 months or more. The person can just take it back to the company, but he/she has to have the right papers so they can take it. Basically, if the person hasn't paid the rent (usually for cars and such) for a while, it gets repossessed.

Can you lease a car if you are unemployed?
Leasing requires income. A financial institution/leaser will likely turn you down if you are unemployed. You can try, it never hurts.
I believe tht too. Leasing of a car requires your income statement and SSN. If you are not working probably you wont have any income tht month or months. But there could be a possiblity that they can let you sign the lease and make you pay after 6 months or so with interest or your friend or somone else can lease it for you and make a deal with you about money and other stuff.

Can a repo agency contact your employer and slander your name?
yep
AKA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, nope.
All a repo agency (or any other debt collector) can do is verify your employment and location. They CANNOT reveal ANY debt information (much less their intent to repo your vehicle) or even insinuate that you HAVE a debt. For more info on what a debt collector can and can't do, take a looksee at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf If a repo agency DID slander you to your employer, please take the time to complain about them ... they have invaded your privacy and stomped on your rights!!
You can be CHARGED with it. However, the cops will most likely run routine license checks on the car, and will figure out whose car it actually is, and remove that charge. I hope for your sake that the person who's car it was gave you permission to use their car, or you will get a car theft charge as well ^^

Are You Upside Down on Your Car?
Being upside-down on a car loan, means owing more on the loan than the trade-in-value of your car. As you owe more than your car value, even selling your car for payment could not help, so you are stuck with the car and the payments. Upside-down on your car loan is not a problem until you don't want to change your car while making timely payments and you have auto insurance in case of accident. Quite a lot of people experience this situation for the simple reason of not choosing loan terms and type of car wisely while applying for a car. Depending upon the age of the car, some cars will depreciate early. Thus it is necessary for one to consider the car loan terms in accordance to the type and value of car. For instance, if a person has car loan amortize period more than five years, than probably you owe more interest than the value of car as most of the monthly payment goes toward paying off interest amount. Same is the case with people having bad credit as they are forced to accept a higher interest rate while buying a car and as a result a whole lot of their dollar goes in paying up only the interest amount while leaving the principle as it is. Although there are quite a few option available if you are in this situation. Pre-payment
For the people being upside-down on their car loan, pre-payment could be the smart option to pay off the loan faster. Hence, if a person does not owe much on the loan, he/she can make extra payments each month get rid from being upside down. As making extra payments will help to pay off the loan faster. But before paying any extra payments you need to make sure that your current loan does not have any pre-payment penalties that could restrict you from paying extra cash. Car Refinance
Refinancing upside-down car loan is also a good option for the people as refinancing allows you to redefine your loan terms. Hence through refinancing you can either lower your interest rate or shorten your term period which can ultimately benefit you to get out of upside down situation. In case your lenders do not grant you a traditional refinance car loan you may opt for a home equity loan. These type of secured loans have a low interest rates which not only allows you to pay off your loan quickly but also without spending additional cash. With refinancing you can even shorten your loan term and pay off the loan much faster and do not loose anymore money on the car. Transferring Balance to a New Car Loan
For the people who are looking to replace their car can close the gap of unpaid balance on their current loan and the car's resale value purchase by transferring their unpaid balance of old car on the new car loan and make the lump sum payment for both the car. Thus you can get your new car while being upside down.
What if the seller refuses to take the car back?
Park the RV in a high traffic area, with permission of the landlord, with huge signs that read: I bought this lemon at such and such dealership. They hate negative publicity and will usually do something just to avoid further negative publicity. Call the dealership and tell them you plan to leave the vehicle with the signs on it until they do something or go out of business. Try to park the thing as close to the dealership as possible so that future potential customers going to do business there will see the lemon advertisement. ANSWER lET THE BUYER BEWARE. if you bought it from another individual or used car dealer, you should have the car checked by a mechanic or take a mechanically inclined person with you. if you feel you bought a lemon, there are consumer agencies you can contact like the better business bureau, local tv stations, your local consumer affairs office or court.
Can you trade in your new car that you still owe a lot on for a significantly cheaper car?
It is not a good idea to make such a trade.
The dealer will offer you significantly less then you owe, and move the difference unto your cheaper car. The bank may not even want to finance your cheaper car because the collateral would not cover the entire loan balance. You may be able to get approved if you purchase GAP insurance when making the trade; however, there is no guarantee.
Even if you can get approved, it would not be the best choice to do so. Imagine making a $500 payment on a car that over 5 years would have had a $300 payment. You could probably keep the more expensive car for the same $500 a month.
Weigh the options. It is usually more expensive to trade the more expensive car for a cheaper one.
What happens if you car is repossessed and you don't work or have any property?
If you don't work, you have no money. If you have no money, you can't get your car back. It will be sold at auction and you will be responsible for paying the difference of what it sells for and what you owe. If it sells for MORE than what you owe, you should get a check for the difference.
