In the state of Michigan can they take money out of a bank account that has your name on it after they repoessed your car?

It is quite common in Michigan for lenders to seek judgment against a defaulting party in tandem to pursuing repossession of real property. Think about it this way:

Say you are $1000 behind in payments. If the only balance is that $1000, it could become a much greater amount after the vehicle is recovered, stored, transported, and stored again before auction. If the final amount at auction is only $1000, you could still be help responsible for the remaining balance owed.

Another way to look at it is this:

Balance owed on the vehicle: $1000
Recovery costs added to the balance: $500
Legal fees added to the balance: $1500
Collection fees added to the balance: $500
Post recovery storage fees: $450
Transportation fees to auction: $200
Preauction storage fees: $400

That original $1000 balance became $4050.00. Now, at auction, the vehicle was sold for $2000.00. There remains an unpaid balance of $2050.00, and the vehicle that originally secured the loan is gone. The lender must have a way to recover what is owed to him. His only recourse is to seek judgment. In the state of Michigan, a lender with a judgment may recover owed debts by any or all of the following:

  • Garnishment of bank accounts
  • Garnishment of wages
  • Garnishment of state tax returns
  • Liens on other real property such as homes and other vehicles
  • Liens on other forms of income such as produced goods, farm sales, livestock
  • Liquidation of other real property: stocks, bonds, Certificates of Deposit, homes, vehicles, or other goods.

How many payment can you miss on your car with flagship credit corperation?

Before you default on your loan and they put your vehicle up for repossession? It only takes one. Once you have passed the grace period, if you have not contacted your lender, you have defaulted on your loan contract. Regardless of whether or not you become current on your outstanding balance or not, you have defaulted on your contract.

The contract is critical. The lender does not want your car. They sold it to you. They want you to have it and to continue paying on it. It is entirely possible, despite what you might hear from others, that your vehicle can be put up for repossession the day after the grace period of your payment schedule.

If you are behind, call them and make other arrangements. They are likely to work with you, especially if you have a good record to this point.

Because, and this is critical, if you fail to honor your contract or do not make a good faith effort to remain in contact with your lender, when you least expect it, when it is likely to be the most inconvenient time, a repossession agent will find your vehicle, pull it onto the the back of his truck or hook it up, and he will drag it away. You might realize what has happened when you walk out to your drive at zero dark thirty in the morning to go to work and find an oil spot where you left your car, or you may be left standing in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly with your ice cream melting and the kids crying.

I know that may seem harsh, but repossession is an entire industry designed to do nothing but to find vehicles whose owners have not lived up to their commitment, and separating the two.

I know, because I used to find those vehicles, and no one ever got away with hiding one.

I made a agreement of payment by this Friday can they still repo me?

Yes, as long as an active repossession order exists, the vehicle will eventually be recovered. If it is seen in towing position by a recovery agent, he will take it. Keep in mind that many repossession agencies have spotters who do nothing but stake-out wanted units, or look for them in public locations where recovery agents may secure them. Any attempt to hide the vehicle or prevent the recovery could be prosecuted. Repossession is a time game, an inevitability. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are repossessed in the US every year. Less than 1% of 1% of the vehicles up for repossession are successfully hidden for any significant time. And, some states are passing laws that will prevent parties who have active repossession orders against vehicles registered to them from registering any vehicles in that state. If you have active arrangements with the lender, hope your payment reaches them before the recovery agent is able to secure the vehicle in question. Be certain to contact the lender and get their assurance that repossession activites have been cancelled once the payment is received. Your best course of action is to take the payment to the lender, and while there have them call the repossession agency who has the active order and witness them cancelling the order.

Can you reopen a car loan account that has been charge off to pay it off in a payment plan?

No. Once the loan is charged off, it is technically off the lender's active books. It is still advisable to pay off the charged off amount so as to correct any issues it may have created for your credit rating. Be advised however that if you do not have a signed agreement with the lender, they are not required by law to accept any partial payments, and can refuse anything less that payment in full.

Can a car be reported as stolen because the loan went into default?

Can it? Yes, by the lender in some case. If the debtor is actively attempting to hinder repossession in many states, or if the vehicle is in possession of a third party who is not on the loan or vehicle registration, then a repossession agent may file a stolen vehicle report. Most will not, preferring to allow the lender to take such action instead.

Can it be reported stolen by the debtor once repossession takes place? Often vehicles are reported stolen after repossession happens. However, this is a cautious area. Most debtors already know the vehicle is being sought, and law enforcement takes a dim view of filing false or malicious reports.

Can a debt collector take you to court over a car repossession loan?

Yes they can and yes they do. Often after the sale of a repossessed vehicle, there remains a balance due. Many debtors refuse to pay this believing the sale of the vehicle should be fair compensation for the debt. However, from the moment the contract is signed, the vehicle becomes simply a pawn in the game, a means to an end. That end is the loan contract. If the borrower defaults on the loan to the point that repossession becomes an option, the vehicle is only considered a means of recovering some of the balance owed. In rare cases, more than what is owed is obtained in the sale of a repossessed vehicle, and the debtor is due a refund of the difference. There are few debtors who would decline such. Why should the lender do so the other way?

Can chase bank take money from 83 yr old elderly mother s chase savings account that son is executor on to pay for repo car even though mother had no interest in loan?

I'm trying to get this straight: if the son is on the account, and the son has an outstanding debt, and Chase has a judgment or the account is a Chase account, then yes. It does not matter if there are thirty people on the account that never signed for the loan. The fact that one person did is enough provided that person is indebted to Chase.

Can a car be repo if private seller did not notify court?

In most states, a car cannot be repossessed unless the seller/creditor obtained a lien on the property to secure it. That lien must be perfected with the state, that is the security information must be recorded with the state. Also, in most states, a right to cure must have been signed by the purchaser to allow the lender to recover the vehicle any time any where. Failing all this, and additional requirements in some states, a private seller cannot legal repossess a vehicle without going through the courts and securing some sort of order such as a replevin.

What happens when you finace a car and don't pay it?

The lender may hire a repossession company to recover the vehicle. Attempts will be made to contact you, to give you the opportunity to surrender the vehicle. If this fails, repossession agents will be given an order to recover the unit, and you may walk out of Walmart or the Piggly Wiggly one night to find the vehicle is not where you parked it.
