Will my car be with the bank after taking the car loan?

Updated: Feb 2, 2021


If you borrow money to buy a car - or if you rent a car - you do not own it for free and it is unclear. You drive a car, but your lender can take it by repurchasing it if you stop paying. Before you reach that point, learn how the process works, what the challenges are, and what you can do about it.


What Is Restoration?

In return, the bank or rental company takes the car from the borrower who is in arrears, usually without warning. Lenders can send a driver to pick up the car, or they can take it with them in a tow truck. In some cases, lenders may disable your car's remote control so that you cannot drive it until you have cleared it.


When is repossession allowed?

To borrow money as a Car Loan or rent a car, you must agree to certain terms. For example, you agree to pay monthly and keep adequate insurance for the car. If you do not meet those requirements, the bank (or rental company) has the right to take the car.


Consequences: In addition to losing a car, your debt will suffer, and you will probably incur significant debt. Refunds, whether you return the car or not, appear in your credit reports for seven years and may result in a debt reduction. We will discuss those issues in more detail below.


Your Rights

Your lender may have the right to seize your car, but you also have the rights.

  • Private property: Lenders can recapture a car parked on private property, but the country's laws prevent them from breaking the law while doing so. For example, real estate agents cannot damage your property to access a car.

  • Retail Price: If your car is taken and sold, the lender needs to sell it at the right price to trade. It does not have to be very high, but the lender must make an effort to find the right market value for the car. Why? The proceeds from the sale will go towards paying off your debt, so it would be wrong to return the car and give it to someone else.

  • Shortage: Items do not end after restitution. If your lender sells your car, the sale fee goes to your loan balance. In most cases, the car sells for less than your credit limit, so your loan has not been repaid. The amount you owe after the car sells is called a deficit.

  • Additional costs: In addition to your loan balance, you should also pay for land-related costs. Charges may include shipping costs, car maintenance, car repairs, and more. These costs are all added to your balance.


How to Keep Your Car

If you want to stop the land restitution process and keep your car, there are many possible solutions (depending on your situation and the terms of your agreement).


  • Restore: Do you want to hit the reset button? Another option is to repay the loan in advance and repay the loan, which will repay the loan. You will return the car, and you will probably be back to where you were before the restitution (although your debt will still show up).

  • Redeem: Putting everything behind you, redemption can be an attractive way. That requires the HDFC Car Loan Payment fully (all past payments, and the balance left) and includes all costs associated with land restitution. In other words, you buy a car and pay legal fees. That's not easy for most people - if you had the money you would pay - but it would make sense if you customized your car or made major changes.

  • Bankrupt: If you apply for bankruptcy, you may suspend the restitution process - at least temporarily. Completing your files creates a default setting that stops debt collecting efforts.

  • Auction bid: Lenders can sell your car by selling it privately or at a public auction. The lender should inform you of what happened to your car after the refund. If the car is going to auction, you can try to get there and bid on the car.
