Can't afford to pay my car loan

[WallyWest]

Makiki-ride lang sa thread na ito. Actually, I can still afford to pay but I'm thinking of "restructuring" our finances to make room for a housing loan.

A dumb question but what exactly are the consequences if a car is repossessed? If I give up the car, will it still count as repossessed? Will it ruin any future loan (personal, housing) applications even if your monthly income suggests that you are capable of paying?

If I decide to sell my car na "assume balance" , will it have the same consequences as getting the car repossessed?

pre-terminate the installment program. purchase the car completely. then sell it, even at a loss. that way, you get to preserve your loaning abilities for the next several years (10 years nga ba yon?). it's not easy to come out of this in the positive, because "no sane buyer will buy a used car at brand new price. you want to sell it quick? give a really low price.
selling "assume balance" might get you in trouble, if the buyer is a no-do-gooder. if the bank does not agree to pass on the ownership and responsibilities to the balance assumer, in the end, you will still be the name the bank will run after. if the balance assumer reneges, kayo pa rin ang hahabulin. nawala na kotse, patay pa credit history nyo.
in the olden days, buying on installment is akin to "a pact with the devil". how times change.
good luck.

and yes, i will always go for house over car. anytime.

after reading all posts above, question is..paano ba talaga ang tamang process ng pagbili ng "assumed balance" na sasakyan? bibilhin ng 2nd owner then sya na magpprocess ng papeles (eg. register of deeds, transfer of ownership, etc..) kasi kung iisipin mo na madali lang pero parang complicated pala lalo pat di pa bayad sa bank ang original owner ng unit.

paano ba talaga ang tamang process ng pagbili ng "assumed balance" na sasakyan?

if you were a buyer of a mortgaged vehicle, to protect your investment, you need to do the following:

1) you check with the bank's loan officer what is the status of the vehicle you are going to buy- whether it has unpaid amortizations or not, or how much is the remaining balance;

2) if you were going to assume the chattel mortgage, you need to consult with bank loan officer if this is possible that the chattel mortgage between the original owner and the bank be cancelled to pave the way for the execution of a new chattel mortgage between you and the bank;

3) if you were not going to assume the chattel mortgage because you would pay in full the remaining balance of the mortgagor, then you need to get the "release of chattel mortgage" from the mortgagee bank. the owner of the vehicle should sign a deed of sale in your favor, so that the car's certificate of registration will be transfered to you.

4) with respect to insurance, whether you assume the chattel mortgage or pay up the remaining balance in cash, you need to take another insurance for the car. this is so because, in property insurance, in order for you to be entitled to the insurance proceeds in case of loss, you must have insurable interest at the time the contract of insurance was entered into AND you also must have insurable interest at the time of the loss or at the time of the happening of the event insured against.
here, obviously, when the original owner took out an insurance coverage over the vehicle, you did not have insurable interest yet over it. in other words, if any thing would happen to the car you assumed or bought, you wouldn't be entitled at all to the insurance proceeds nor the original owner.

re-assume would be the best, di pa ma blacklist sa bank at the same time mabawi pa kahit konti lang

the usual problem in assume balance, is looking for the assumer of the balance.
the lower the asking price, the larger the loss of money to the seller, the faster the buyer appears.
