I don't think they can put a lien on the home. But the vehicle can be seized by the creditor. And, then he may resell it and if there is any deficiency, the creditor may sue you for it.

Yes, I do not think that the bank will put a lien on the house. The bank can, at the most, seize the car from you.

Hello,

The bank will not put a lien on the house.

The bank might repossess the vehicle without warning. If you are far behind your payment, I think you can consider a voluntary surrender of your vehicle which will help you to come out of the trouble.

The vehicle can be reposesed for nonpayment and thats it. The vehicle is the colateral for that loan. House is not.

yes, the present owner of the vehicle will be liable to pay the loan. If the present owner default the payment, I think the vehicle that i guess it's a car will be resell by the creditor for the loan payment. so the creditor cann't put a lien on the home.but, if the vehicle can't cancel out the loan completely, the creditor can prosecute the owner , the home will be probably put a lien, I say it's just maybe.

Everyone so far has been correct. A car loan is based on the fact that a car is put up for collateral for the loan. So that is what they get to pay off the loan nothing more. They can seek a judgement on the owner however it just depends on the situation.

They cannot put a lien on your house.

And if some collector is telling you different let him know you would like to record his statements and it wouldn't hurt if he put it in writing. Tell him that would help you understand and see what he has to say then.
