Yes, your car will be sold and if the price they sell it for is less than the balance left on the loan, plus the repossession fees, you will be responsible for that difference and will have to pay it.

If you don't pay the balance of the loan after repossession, the lender can take you to court for the remaining balance or they can charge it off. Neither is a good thing, so it is best to pay the remaining balance as soon as possible.

Most vehicles that have been repossessed are sold at auction. When this occurs, you are responsible for any balance that remains less the monies collected from the sale. If a balance remains and you fail to pay it then the creditor or lending agency can sue for the balance due plus legal fees.

Yes. If there is a difference between the value of the vehicle and the balance still owed on the loan, plus applicable fees and interest, it must be paid by the borrower. However, the actual value of the vehicle may not be the amount that it is sold for even though the lender/seller is legally required to make a reasonable attempt to get the market value.

Generally speaking, yes. It probably varies a little from state to state, but usually, the finance company repos the car then sells it at an auction and deducts the amount from the sale from the amount you owe. Then, at some point, they will sue you for the remaining balance.

It depends on which state you live in really. I lived in Louisiana and my car was in my mothers name she decided not to pay and it was repossessed well 11 years later they contacted me again and requested the money for the car. But that was in 1994.

Possible?? YES. IF your loan is CROSS-COLLATERALIZED with another loan, YES. IF you owe repair bills on the car, the repair shop can repo it if you dont pay.

In MOST cases, YES.

PS. Its not the "value claimed", its the diiference between what you owe and what the lender sells it for.
