"Most consumers think repossession is the end of the story. Unfortunately, this often is not true."
When consumers stop paying auto loans, they voluntarily surrender their vehicles or a lender repossesses the car involuntarily. Most consumers think repossession is the end of the story. Unfortunately, this often is not true.
Generally, when a car is repossessed, the lender will sell the car at auction. If the proceeds from the sale do not cover the balance of the loan used to purchase the car, the lender may come after you for the difference. The difference between the balance of the loan and the sale proceeds is called a “deficiency.”
Auto loans lawsuits are fairly common in Pennsylvania. There are likely hundreds to thousands of auto loan lawsuits filed each year in the Commonwealth.
Auto loan lawsuits likely occur because of high cost loans, defective vehicles, or poor auctions. Auto loans often come with high interest rates, many fees, and long loan terms. This can greatly increase the cost of a loan and lead to a high balance, even after a car is sold. Other times, car dealers sell defective vehicles to consumers. When this happens, cars are sold for next to nothing. Yet other times, auctions themselves are improper and yield a low sale price. In all of these scenarios, high loan balances are left over, forcing consumers into collection.

If you lose an auto loan lawsuit, or if you ignore it, a “judgment” will be entered against you. A “judgment” is a legal decree that you owe the bank, non-bank finance company, or the debt collector what they claim you owe.
“Judgments” allow non-bank finance companies and debt collectors to engage in certain types of collection activity, including:
Bank account garnishments are the most used “post-judgment” collection tool. Some debt collectors, however, will simply use judgments to scare consumers into making payments.
Most dealers make auto loans through non-bank finance companies, which are entities that finance an auto loan and own the account following a sale. Some of these companies, like Americredit Financial and Ally Financial, file suit against Pennsylvania consumers. Auto loans sometimes are sold to debt buyers, like Autovest LLC. Debt buyers may file suit as well.
