Re: repo a vehicle
Assuming the vehicle was repossed rightfully and sold in a commercially reasonable manner, the creditor can attempt to collect the balance of the note through a collection agency or by filing a lawsuit. You can negotiate to settle the deficiency balance for less than the balance, but many times you need an attorney to negotiate.
