How do you find another vehicle after reposession?

You could check the want ads in your local paper. Many people find running vehicles on sites such as Craig's List. Still more people find them sitting for sale in yards and at the sides of roads. You are probably going to have to pay cash. The likelihood of you getting a loan for a reasonable rate any time soon is limited.

Can repo men take your car parked at a store with a person in it?

Legally, no. This would fall under wrongful incarceration or kidnapping. The repo agent can block the vehicle in until that person gets out and then hook the unit. If the person re-enters the vehicle afterward then all bets are off. If the police are called in this situation, someone is likely to go to jail for breach of peace, and the repo agent has a legally binding notice of repossession.

They will want the money from the co-signer. In my case, my car was repossesed and my mom was my co-signer and she had to file bankruptcy too. The lender will sell the car in an auction and your co-signer will be responsible for the difference between what you owed and what is was sold for. Got it?

Do you have to pay back a car loan on a surrender?

The simple answer is, yes!

Let's go from the standard cause and effects. At the day you purchase your car, you sign a contract agreeing to pay a certain amount of money monthly of a period of time. If during that time frame of that contract you either voluntarily surrender the car or it is repossessed for non payment, the standard contract agreement states that even if the car is surrendered or repossessed, you must pay the remaining amount of the contract.

Each style of contract is a little different. If you are in a lease contract for an example of 36 months, and must pay $1000.00 a month. The total amount paid over the length of the contract is $36,000.00 if it is completed. But let's say you turn the car in after the 26th payment. That would leave $10,000.00 remaining owed. The finance company can pursue you for that amount, as well, any additional fee's IE: Lawyer fees, court fees, collection fees, etc, etc.

Now if you were going to purchase the car and had a 72 month contract. The final price of the car once you signed the final paper work on the agreed price was $30,000.00. After making 50 payments and paid $22,000.00 so far. You surrendered the car; the finance company will auction the car at the standard Automobile Wholesale Value. You owe the finance company $8,000.00 still. But the car only sales for $6,000.00 in auction, you will still have to pay the $2,000.00, as well any additional fees. Now let's say the car sales for $8,500.00. The finance company must return to you any overage amount it receives. Keep in mind they still will take out the fee's there.

The bank wants to repossession your motorcycle but you have taken the motor out to get fixed and sent it away what can or will happen in this situation since you wont be able to get the motor back?

contact the bank and advise them of the situation. Ask them if they will work with you on catching up the payments. Do not offer to pay more than you reasonably can. If they still refuse your offers, offer to surrender the bike and offer to give them the location of the motor.

My pay have been garnish for years now I believe the loan is paide How can I get in contact with this company to now for sure if my Loan is paidoff and if not how much more do I need to pay?

Ask your employer to give you the name of the entity who is garnishing your wages--- is it an individual; the court; a company, etc. Most likely it will be a court. Get the case number of the court case and go to the court and look at the judgment and see how much was awarded in the judgment. Then add up how much you have paid over the years through the garnishment towards the judgment.

Then if you have paid the amount in full, and they are still garnishing you can petition the court to stop the garnishment and return any overpayment.

A QUICK WAY to find out is to just ask your employer for the total amount the ORDER OF GARNISHMENT instructed them to garnish. Your employer is responsible for garnishing only the amount in the COURT ORDER.

GOOD LUCK!

Can your car get repossessed with only one payment due?

Yes. Always read your contract. The area under default will usually specify yourlien holders right to take possession. You can be repossessed for more reasons than just defaulting on your payments. Again check your contract. You can be repossessed for not keeping your lender updated with your full coverage insurance. If you are using the vehicle for illegal purposes or if you are not taking care of the vehicle- your lender can repossess the unit. Read your contract.

I did a volunteered Repo on a car and a collection agency is trying to collect difference of 5200?

And it is your responsibility to pay this.

You should however contact the original loan holder and request in writing a complete statement of all charges and balances owed, with reconcilliation of all amounts paid or applied toward the original balance. Do it in writing, otherwise there is no obligation by the original creditor to provide this information. contactthe collection agency atthe same time, also in writing, and inform them that you are negotiating with their client, and that they should cease and desist all collection efforts.

Remember, do it all in writing. Send the letters registered, return receipt so you have proof of service, and keep copies of everything.
