What happens when a car loan due to debt?

When you get financing for your car, carefully read the loan documents. The most important items to consider are interest rate, down payment and any other prepayments that may alter the original selling price of the vehicle as taxes. The signing of the loan documents means that you agree to make payments on time, as stipulated in the loan agreement. In a loan for a new car, the bank can extend payment terms to 72 months (six years) or more, however, the common length of a car loan is 48 to 60 months.
 
Delinquent
As the loan is due, the unpaid balance approaches zero. However, if you are in default (which is considered more than 30 days delinquent in the payment), the bank will charge interest and additional charges that will increase the balance due. Therefore, it is important that you make your payments on time or within the grace period before you start accumulating late fees.
 
Credit Report
The bank will pursue you for the balance of the car loan after it expires. Instead of your credit report will show as paid, the car loan will show up as a balance. It will also reflect the payment information in arrears. According to FICO, payment history accounts for 35 percent of your credit score. The late payments stay on your credit report for seven years, which will cause your score to drop dramatically.
 
Recovery
If the bank can not charge the remaining balance may further worsen things recuperarando possession of the vehicle. An auto loan is a secured debt that gives the lender the right to repossess the vehicle if you do not pay. The loan documents underscore the security interests of the bank. The bank is obliged to notify recovery. If you can not reach a repayment agreement, the bank will sell your car at auction to recover the most value for the car.
 
Considerations
If you still owe on your car loan after the deadline for payment, contact the lender to request a payment agreement. Even if you receive a notice of garnishment, you can still develop a payment plan with the bank. The bank is willing to work with you since recovered vehicles generally sell for less than what the car is worth.
