Can a buy here pay here auto dealer report the car stolen if you are behind on payments?

That will depend on your state laws. I have seen such an agreement here in Massachusetts, but I believe it is illegal and is an unfair act or practice in trade or commerce prohibited in most states and definitely in MA.

What happens if you don't pay the finance company for a stolen car?

They will sue you and you will have to pay them plus legal fees, court costs, collection fees, etc. but mainly you will have to pay them and they will ruin your credit. Work out a pay plan with them to kee them happy.

Where can you buy a car with very little down bad credit and low monthly payments?

Your only option is any used car dealership that is a "buy here pay here" place. The proper term is "onsite financing." Some places advertise $500 down or $700, but in most cases they want anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 down. Your monthly payments, of course, depend on where you go. They can range anywhere from $200 a month to $500 a month. However, I imagine the exact prices depend on where you live (city, state, etc.). You can also try a looking on Craigslist. Sometimes people just want to get rid of a car quickly.

This is a really really bad idea, and I don't recommend it. However, if you are in an emergency situation and you can have two or three people cooperate with you, providing they have good credit, they could spot you the money for a down payment by taking out small personal loans, as long as you can agree to pay them back. It's legal, but these people would have to really trust you and you'd just create more monthly payments for yourself.

What happens when you stop making car insurance payments?

It varies state to state, but usually you have a 30 day grace period; meaning you can pay one month behind at a time. After being 60 days late (2 months), they cancel your policy. In states where car insurance is obligatory, you have to pay a lapse in insurance fine, which varies state to state. In extreme cases, they will come and remove the license plate from your car.

How long does it take to repossess a semi truck?

Less than a minute. The repossessor will know the VIN number, and from that they can find out which key to use... keys aren't unique to the vehicle... one person reads the VIN to verify it's the right truck while the other cranks down the trailer landing gear, disconnects the air lines, and unlocks the fifth wheel jaws.

What is the law for the state of mississippi on repossession?

The Lien holder can repossess the car any time the owner has violated the contract. Violations could be but not limited to:

  • Late or missed payments
  • Not insuring the car as agreed in the contract

When repossessing the repo guy can not trespass nor use intimidation or threats. But you need to give up the car immediately as once you are officially notified the lender can take further legal action and possibly charge you with theft.

Is it against the law to hide a car from repo man in NJ?

Yes, there is a law in most states called, Hindering a Creditor of mortgaged property. However, it is very rarily used and can only be filed by the creditor, not the repossessor. The repossessor can not even use the threat of prosecution. Usually what will happen is the creditor will file for a Writ of Replevin where the local Sheriff will be ordered to pick up the vehicle. In the long run this will cost you more money because getting the replevin is expensive and along with the sheriff"s charges are all taxable to you. An additional thing to keep in mind, if you hide the vehicle the lender does not have to let you reinstate the loan to get the car back. Most states have specific laws calling for you to be able to retrieve the car after repossession by paying the past due payments and expenses of re-taking the vehicle but hiding it will negate these rights.

Most lenders do not want your car, it is a losing proposition for them so they will go to great lengths to keep you in the car so make the call and talk to them.

How can you hide your car from repossesion agents?

Stop driving it and store it at an address that you have no documented connection to. Be aware that late fees and penalties will continue to pile up.

Within days after your discharge. You will have to find one of those dealers that arrange financing, and you will pay a high interest, but it can be done.

What do you do if spouse died and still owes loan on a car?

It depends on your state law. In community property states, if the car was community property, the surviving spouse becomes the owner. In most other states, the surviving spouse and/or any children become the owners as heirs at law.

The problem is that you may have to apply to refinance the car loan, which does not pass by intestacy rules. That may require you to file an estate action to become the formal owner of the car, but it may be that the estate is bankrupt under state law. Consult an experienced estate lawyer in your area.
