Who owes the balance on the loan.
James
Answer:
Dear James,
It sounds like you signed for a loan in your name only for the car in question.
If that’s right, you are 100 percent responsible for the loan, payments, and debt.
The person signing for the loan and/or a cosigner is on the hook for the payments. It does not matter who actually has the car since it sounds like you personally guaranteed that the loan payments would be made.
If you want to confirm this, refer to the finance agreement you signed when the car loan was obtained. The terms of responsibility will be found in the paperwork.
The terrible thing about repo is you don’t have the car but owe the balance between the amount due on the finance agreement minus the small amount obtained at the auction.
You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.
