What happens if you stop sending your car payments?

Question:
My friend has a 2001 Chevy Silverado but its crashed and the insurance didn't want to cover the damage. What would happen if he stoped sending his payments? Would they just pick it up and nothing more to pay? Or would he have to pay anyways?

Eventually the Repo man would come with a tow truck to repossess the vehicle. This would not me that money would no longer be owed. If the payments were not made this would most likely go into collections and start effecting the credit score of the individual. The best thing to do would be to call the bank who holds the loan and run this scenario by them. They would be able to tell you exactly how this situation would be handeled. Good luck!

What are the laws about a relative who purchases a car from another state for a friend in another state?

He pays no matter what, and the insurance company not wanting to pay for damage, what kind of story is that? If he had a valid claim, then the insurance would cover it, period. If he stops payments, he is in default, the lender can repo the truck, auction it, apply what it sold for to the loan, and your friend gets to pay the balance, whether his truck is crashed or not, he signed the loan agreement, now it's his turn to be responsible and pay off the loan. He can ignore it, bill collectors will call and interest will accrue, he could have his wages garnished, income tax witheld, and a poor credit rating.
