Can you buy another car though your first car got repossessed?

Yes, if you have the money you can buy it. If you are searching for a car loan, you may have some difficulty in that. Paying cash, no problem.

What happens when you have an auto loan and you die?

The debt is transferred to your estate.

It still has to be paid, depending on the contract you signed of course, but is handled by the Executor along with any other debts you may leave.

Any creditor can make a claim on your estate but these claims may not all have the same legal standing. If there is a dispute it may need to be decided by a court of law. This should be avoided at all costs as it is expensive.

Can a car be repossed after payments have been made?

Yes, if other terms of the contract are breached, such as having no car insurance.

What happens if you don't pay your vehicle registration renewal on time?

What are the Advantages of making weekly car payments?

Most car loans accrue interest on a daily basis. The more you owe on outstanding principal (the actual loan amount owed on the car), the more interest you pay. Generally speaking, when you make a car payment, first the money is applied towards interest, and then the remaining is applied toward your principal.

The more principal you have, the more interest you accrue. When you make a payment, the compounded interest is paid down. Therefore, if you make a weekly payment, you are only paying on 7 days of accrued interest, instead of 30 days.

While it may not seem like a lot, look at it like this:

A $7,000 car loan with 7% APR will cost you nearly $900 in interest if financed over 36 months.

If you pay weekly instead of monthly, that interest is cut by 75%, meaning you will only pay $225 in interest.

Instead of paying $200 a month, try paying $50 a week. Set it up with automatic billpay so you don't have to worry about it. Most banks do not charge a fee for this service.

Do you still owe money after being foreclosed on in a non recourse state?

This depends on what kind of loans you had on the home. The law in non-recourse states such as California states:

1)The lender may only take one action against any borrower to satisfy or collect on a debt when that debt is a real estate loan. This means they can sue you or foreclose or take a settlement offer, but whatever they choose is the only thing they can do.

2)The lender must act against the property first. This means a mortgage company can not sue you instead of foreclosing.

This is assuming it was a non-judicial foreclosure (which most are) where they invoked the right to sell the house at auction and did not take you to court to posses the home.

The tricky part comes up when there is a second mortgage involved. Lets say you have a first mortgage of $200k and a second of $50k and your home is now worth $100k. If you stop paying both loans, the second will likely NOT foreclose on you because they would have to pay off the first from the proceeds of the sale. This means the first would loose $100k when the house sells for $100k (ignoring costs and commissions), and the second would have gone to all the time and money to take the house and received no money for their efforts. They can NOT take another action against you because they have to act against the property first. Now say the 1st mortgage decides to foreclose. They auction the house and you no longer own it. They took a loss, but the second lost everything. Now there is no home to take an action against, so the second mortgage company is free to attempt to collect the debt.

Now we have to think of this from their perspective. They've lost a lot of money. They don't want to let that go, but they also want to stop loosing money. Suing someone takes time and money, and they can't be sure you'll ever pay. So, they may sue you, may send the file to collections and have an agency try and get money from you, they may wait until they have a large batch of such loans and send them off at once, or they may decide to cut their losses and do nothing. They are less likely to haunt someone over $5,000 than $75,000, and less likely if the person is unemployed or retired....there are quite a few variables.

At the end of the year any debtor that charged off a loss will send you a 1099c form for forgiven debt that you theoretically have to pay taxes on. Check with your CPA, you may have a "negative net worth" (liabilities totaling more than assets) and may be able to get out of paying those taxes by claiming insolvency.

So the short answer is: after a normal foreclosure the 1st mortgage company can NOT persue you for money in a "one action" state. A second mortgage company can. They will both send you a 1099c and you may have to wotk with a CPA to avoid paying taxes on that amount as income.

Is notification of a car repossession required in the state of California?

Yes, I think it is. We have so many laws concerning things like that.

Auto repo in California 20yrs ago and now a settlement recovery company is contacting you is it still valid?

If the bill is 20 years old I don't think they have a valid claim. I think ( could be wrong here) but there is a 5 year limit to collect. I would contact a lawyer with this question.

Is it legal to abandon your impounded car?

The shortest way out of this fix is to get the car, pay your dues, and continue to make payments. This will cause the least problems in the long run, since these things take on a life of their own if not attended to. You could end up being out more money, having wages garnished and lousy credit. If you must give up your car, talk to your lender and return the car to the place where you bought it. Tough, but you will be doing the right thing.

Can a friend buy you a car?

Can you go to jail if you keep a repossessed car in a different state?

As the owner of a "tote the note" used car lot for 20 years I know of no effective way of prosecuting "skips". People occasionally move to other states with mortgaged autos and if there is statute forbidding it, I am not aware of it. Generally, the only remedy for the lienholder is to repossess the vehicle.

What is the cure for nerve blockage in right leg?

A nerve block usually means that someone was given a drug to block the pain in an area. I would assume that a nerve block might thus mean numbness due to nerve damage. Nerve Damage is neuropathy. The myelin sheath of the nerve has been damaged and thus you get numbness, tingling and pain. The body needs B1 in order to be able to repair the damage to the nerve. There can be many reasons for this damage - diabetes high blood sugar, chemotherapy, trauma, lack of B12, etc. However, most supplements that you buy is water soluable and thus washes out of your body before it can be used. It is becoming known that certain forms of B vitamins are fat soluable and thus the body can hold onto it long enough to use it. In addition, B12 and some other ingredients will help in the repair. There is a formula that does this called the Nerve Support Formula - www.realfoodnutrients.com/neu/home.htm

Can you sell your car before it gets repoed?

Even if you could you would still owe the bank the money they paid for the car.

Are there any states where the license plate stays with the vehicle when it is sold?

Kentucky, California, Washington, Texas and Oregon the tags stay with the car. I'm sure there are others as well. I'd like a full list of these smart states as well.

Can you legally have a car towed from your property?

Yes, you can have an unwanted vehicle removed from your property any time you wish.

Do i lose protection under California anti-deficiency judgment law if i refinance my home loan?

This question is timely and important in the State of California. Presently (August, 2012), the answer is yes, if you refinance, you lose the legislative protection you have against a bank's deficiency judgment if the bank forecloses judicially (i.e., through the courts). Anti-deficiency protection extends only to loans that are obtained to pay all or part of the purchase price of the home. However, a bill was recently introduced, and passed, in the State of California (SB 1069), providing that no deficiency judgment shall lie in any event on any loan, refinance, or other credit transaction that is used to refinance a purchase money loan, or subsequent refinances of a purchase money loan (except to the extent that the lender or creditor advances "new principal" to the borrower). The new law only applies to transactions executed on or after January 1, 2013.
