Re: car
If you give it back to the dealer, they may sell it and seek to collect the balance of the note. So, be sure that if you give it back, they lender cancels the note as satisfied in full. You may need to sell the vehicle in a private sale and apply the proceeds against the note. You have have to pay the balance of the note, if the lender does not write off the balance.
