You get into really good physical shape from all the walking..... no. Seriously, what generally happens is your vehicle will go to the repossession company's storage facility (unless the bank has told them otherwise) and you have a certain amount of time to pay the bank up to get it back (I am not going to say how long you have because I don't know what state you are in. Most states give you 10 days but I don't know about where you are). If you fail to pay the bank up in that time, the vehicle gets remarketed. Be it by auction or private sale, again depends on your state. If the vehicle nets less than what you owed, it is called a deficiency and you are still liable for it. If it nets more than you owed, it is called a surplus and the bank owes you the difference. Again, it depends on your state. I would recommend you contact your state's attorney general's office to get the specific laws for your state.
