If you have never missed any of your car loan payments before, that’s great. Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n
However, if you have been unable to make your loan payments lately, don’t simply ignore the problem and hope it will go away. Before you know it, your car might be repossessed.<\/p>\n
Failing to pay for your car loan puts you at risk of getting your car repossessed by the bank. It’s common sense that if you fail to pay for your loan, your asset will be repossessed, but sometimes life happens and you get a kick in the back in the form of a repossession notice from the bank.<\/p>\n
How does this happen?<\/p>\n
Car repossession process does not happen immediately when you miss a payment. Typically, you will only be served a repossession notice after you\u2019ve missed two successive payments.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the timeline to the repossession of your vehicle.<\/p>\n
Sources: If you are unfortunate enough to have that happened to you, you should know that:<\/p>\n Before the repossessor tows away you vehicle, he or she must produce:<\/p>\n If you fall victim to the oppressive measures taken by the repossessors or if your rights have been wrongfully infringed during repossession, make a complaint to the bank that repossessed the car. You may also complain to the Association of Hire Purchase Companies Malaysia to seek support.<\/p>\n After the repossessors fulfil all of the above, your car will be towed away and kept within a premise by the bank.<\/p>\n If panicking is on top of your list of what to do after your vehicle has been taken away, take a deep breath and consider your options. It\u2019s not the end of the world if you know what to do, and act quickly. You will receive a 21-days\u2019 notice to take action before the bank moves on to the next step.<\/p>\n Here are your options after your car has been repossessed:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
