Mrs. Dwight asked:


Lets say a person couldn’t make payments on a car anymore, the car is only worth $20,000 but they owe the bank $35,000. If they were to have their car repossessed, what would happen? Would they have to come up with the extra $15,000 in cash or would it just go away? Basically, what happens in car repossession when there is negative equity involved?
