Need some opinions here; I know a stupid question deserves a stupid answer but nonetheless I need some answers to this:
Someone I know has a car w/Loan, let's say John Doe owes $5000 on the car; it's worth maybe $12K...He/She can't afford to make the car pymt's anymore but at the same time don't want the car repossessed....credit is already ****ed up.....This person is thinking about telling the bank the car was totaled and they didn't have insurance at the time of the accident.....
Now here's the twist...The only reason they are saying this is to make minimal monthly pymts to get the notes current & avoid repossession...Is this a brilliant idea or just someone being incredibly stupid and/or irresponsible....I know the answer but want your comments...
