What happens if your car is impounded and you still owe money on it?

If your car is impounded and you still owe money on it, there are a few things that can happen:

1. You may be able to get your car back by paying the impound fees and the amount you still owe on the car. The impound fees can vary depending on the city or county where your car was impounded. The amount you still owe on your car can be found on your loan statement.

2. If you are unable to pay the impound fees and the amount you still owe on the car, the car may be sold at auction. The proceeds from the auction will be used to pay off the loan on your car, and any remaining money will be given to you.

3. In some cases, if you are unable to pay the impound fees and the amount you still owe on the car, the lender may file a repossession lawsuit against you. If the lender wins the lawsuit, the court will order you to repay the entire amount you still owe on the car, plus legal fees.

It is important to note that if your car is impounded, you may also be responsible for paying storage fees. These fees can vary depending on the towing company that impounded your car.

If you cannot afford to pay the impound fees and the amount you still owe on your car, you should contact a legal aid organization for help.
