Auto Repossession

If you voluntarily let the bank Repossess a vehicle, will they still try to collect a Deficiency Balance? This pertaining to the State of Hawaii. Someone said if they come and Repo your vehicle, you don't have to pay the Deficiency Balance ?? But if you call the bank and tell them to pick it up, you do have to pay.

Hello dj:

Whether you give it to them, or they take it, you're going to owe the balance due after they auction it.

Yes, unless you work out and agree for them to take it back for payment in full.

But yes giving it back is still a repo , they sell it, and you owe the difference.
The main savings you don't have a large repo cost added to the bill.

ON many cars you will owe almost as much as you did with it, after you turn it back in. depending on what you owe and what the car sales for wholesale at the acution normally

Best advice:

Don’t let them repo it.

Sell it yourself since you will sell it for more then the bank will, most likely.

djestwd agrees: Selling was not an option as it would've been upside down. The Blue book value was much much lower than it could have been sold for.

Happened to me ... I couldn't afford my payments and asked the bank to repo it. Now they are after me. They sold it for 1/2 the price the car was worth. I owe them almost the full loan-amount I originally had with all the penalty+repo charges. Don't ask the bank to repo it. I had the car loan in NJ and now residing in Ontario. I was working in NJ.

You can be held responsible for any balance that's not recovered when the creditor re-sells your vehicle, whether you surrendered it voluntarily or not.
