Unlike a mortgage, there is no right to cure a car loan default. The only reason a homeowner may cure a mortgage default is because there is legislation providing so. There is no right to cure any other debt, either.

If you are not happy with the state of the law, your only recourse, which wont help you at this point, is to contact your state representative and seek to change the law. Regardless of whether you do that, they had the legal right to refuse any other payments after default and proceed to collect the deficiency.
