What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
Car repossessed yesterday due to non-payment; have paid on the loan for five years of the six-year term, but unable to maintain on-time payments due to reduced income. The only remedy, according to the bank is to sell the car and we would be responsible for the deficiency amount between what is owed and what the car sells for. This amount will likely be more than we are able to pay in a lump sum amount. They will not allow us to pay the two payments plus fees that we are behind. What will happen next? Since the car is in our names, do we continue to pay insurance premiums on the car even though we will never drive it again? We have no idea where to go from here. Should we seek legal counsel at this point?
