Question

Asked 8/5/2009

Am I responsible for the balance after a repo auction of my vehicle?

If I have my car taken back by the finance company, they will sell it at auction. Am I responsible for the balance still due? If I have no money what happens to that balance?

It depends on the laws of your state. Some states say you are still responsible for the balance borrowed on the car. You need to contact where you got the loan for the car and check with them

 
 

Answer 2/3 - Submitted 8/6/2009

Most finance companies subtract the difference between what they get at auction and what you still owe on your loan. For instance, if you still have a $9,000 balance on your car note and they sell the car for $5,000 at auction then you now owe them $4,000. They can turn this amount over to a collection agency like any other type of debt if you do not pay it.
