The Lender may or may not want to repo a wreck. Bankruptcy, same deal. Call the lender, tell them what the car looks like, and let them decide.
___
File bankruptcy if you are buried in unsecured debt, not to save the car. Especially a wrecked car.
___
"Repossession" looks slightly better (not MUCH better) on a credit report than a Chapter 7. Let it get repossessed.
Of course not! It wasn't stolen or wrecked, it was taken from you for failure to pay on the loan!Be sure to cancel the insurance.
Did you have insurance when it was wrecked???
If you buy a car, lend it to a friend and it get wrecked then you have to get it reposessed with a bk. What can the creditor do if the car is wrecked? Even after the bk can you be charged for missing or broken parts?
NO, That's what car insurance is for.
You can collect it if you want, because the lienholder is going to charge you for not having insurance for as many months as they can, and the amount of what it will cost to get the vehicle repaired. I say give them the check, you will owe less.
If there's a lienholder on that vehicle, yes, that lienholder can repossess it.
That would be a particularly bad plan if you hope to keep a good credit score. The bank would have required you to have enough insurance on the vehicle to cover the replacement. If you didn't, you are financially responsible for every dime that is outstanding on the loan. If the truck is wrecked, the difference between the debt and the value is your responsibility.
No, debtors prison no longer exists(With this economy thank God) so unless you wrecked it purposely your good there. However if you had a loan on the car, you should of had full coverage insurance that would pay for at least most of it and most dealers require gap as well which would continue paying the car off after the insurance. If you did not have insurance and gap, then you will be responsible for the cost of the car, even if it is ropo'd. You can file bankruptcy if you cannot afford to pay for the car however, if your not paying for just because you wrecked it that isn't really fair to the lender. They can also Levy your paychecks and or bank accounts for the funds to cover the car.
Then they will repossess the wrecked vehicle, sell it for what they can get, apply that to the loan balance, and you will be responsible for the balance on the loan. They will sue you in court to get it and will win. Now if you continue to make the loan payments, then none of this will happen. Did you not have insurance on this vehicle?
yes it will
The un-insured driver will have to turn to their health insurance company for coverage if he carried no auto insurance.
Since you have a loan you should be required by the lender to have full coverage insurance which will pay you the value of the vehicle. With out insurance you are still responsible for repaying the loan no matter what happens to your vehicle. It is not the lenders fault your car was stolen and wrecked...
