Reposession of Crashed Car

[markvilla21]

Hi everyone. First time ko po magtanong. be gentle.

I purchased an Everest Trend last September and 5 weeks later my driver crashed it into a dump truck. Nobody was hurt but the damage was pretty serious. Airbags did not deploy, but the front, the bumper, the hood, wiring, sensors, wheel alignment, windshield, door, side mirrprs and chassis were all compromised.

Ford estimated repairs to be 890k. They aren't sure if the engine and transmission will also need to be replaced as they said the vehicle needs to be restored first, then road tested so they can find out. If those are damaged, that's at least 500k more.

The loan is with BPI for 4 yrs. It's insured by BPI MS - comprehensive with acts of nature. Despite Ford's recommendation to declare the vehicle as a total loss, BU insisted the vehicle be dismantled to check the engine and transmission. According to them, repair estimates need to be 75% of the vhicle value or higher. This has been going on for 3 weeks now.

I'm concerned cause Ford says that if the vehicle is not declared a total loss, it may take around a year to repair the vehicle. I think it's absurd that I should pay for the car for abyear and not be able to use it. I also don't feel secure about the car anymore. It looks like it's been autopsied and it's hard to imagine it being back to normal ever again.

I'm considering letting them reposess it if they don't want to declare it a TL. I'm being charged via auto dbit on my savings account. If I pull out all my money and tell them I voluntarily surrender the vehicle, what will happen? I'm sure I'll have a bad record but will there be legal implications?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Antayin mo na muna, hindi naman talaga outright declaration ng total loss proseso talaga yan.

Do you need to pay your bank? Of course, utang yun eh and hindi naman nila fault na nabangga at hindi mo magagamit yung sasakyan.

If hindi talaga declared total loss then
talk to your bank and know your options

75% of the insured amount bago ma declare na total lost. Actually talo ka either way, Unang babayaran ng insurance banko ang matitira sa iyo, dahil bago pa most likely walang matitira. TY na yung DP mo at 2 months amort. If credit rating doesn't bother you ipa reposses o voluntary surender monalang, and you are right compromised nayung trend mo. Maganda sana kung may photo ka nung damage.

the chassis was compromised?

if the manufacturer itself, suggests it be a total loss, "who are the rest of us to argue?"
in a court of law (wag sana umabot dito), sino paniniwalaan ng korte?
my thoughts.

nalala ko tuloy yun post recently na di naman daw nasira credit rating nya kasi nakapag loan pa sya ulit
i guess di pa na update database ng blacklisting nun, baka ganun nalang gawin ni TS; utang sa ibang bangko muna hehehe

Why is it based on the percentage of the amount and not extent of the damage? On a scenario that the A-pillars got damaged, the cost of repairing that might just be 50% of amount but the car is no longer safe and is normally declared a total loss.

Yes sir, talo na talaga ako ng 500k. Damage control na lang. I guess mas ok na yun kesa nagpalibing ako ng driver o nagsustento sa baldado. Kikitain naman uli yung pera.

Re: credit rating, as far as BPI is concerned lang naman po yun diba? Meron po ba universal na credit rating sa Pinas gaya sa ibang bansa? Thanks po as response.

My thoughts exactly. But of course, you know how theseinsurance companies are. Habang pwede kang gipitin, gigipitin ka.
