Can you car loan be sold to another finance company without your knowledge?

In most cases, yes. When you take out a car loan, you sign a security agreement that gives the lender a lien on your car. This means that if you don't make your payments, the lender can repossess your car. The lender can also sell your car loan to another finance company without your knowledge.

This can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

* The lender may default on its own loans. If the lender is unable to repay its own debts, it may be forced to sell off its assets, including your car loan.

* The lender may be acquired by another company. If the lender is acquired by another company, the new company may decide to sell off some or all of the lender's assets, including your car loan.

* The lender may simply decide to sell your loan. Lenders may sell car loans to other finance companies for a variety of reasons, including to raise capital or to reduce their risk exposure.

If your car loan is sold to another finance company, you will typically receive a notice from the new lender. This notice will provide information about the new lender, the terms of your loan, and how to make payments.

It is important to note that your rights and obligations under your car loan will not change when your loan is sold. You will still be responsible for making your payments and the lender will still be able to repossess your car if you fail to make your payments.

If you have any questions about the sale of your car loan, you should contact your lender or the new lender.
