Q: Car accident no insurance can’t afford to fix it and it’s building up storage fees what do I do?
Hi i have a question I got into a car accident awhile back with no insurance I can’t afford the repair cost to fix the car. The car has been sitting in a lot for awhile now and accumulated a lot of storage fees and I can’t afford them. I read online that the finance company won’t take back the car until it’s fixed. I don’t know what to do please help.
A: You are responsible to pay your loan and to pay storage fees. If you can't afford the storage fees, the car will eventually be auctioned by the lot to pay the fees. You might still owe any remaining balance. You will also still owe on your loan. If you can't afford that, you might want to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
