Voluntary Repossess a Vehicle Moving Out of Country

[abstract00]

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Arizona

I am moving out of the country and want to know what will happen if I just return the car to the dealers lot where I bought it and tell them what I am doing. I have only been in the US for a short time and have decided not to stay but return to Canada. It is the only debt I have.

well, unless the dealer is who financed the car for you, returning it to the dealer means nothing other than you abandoned the car on property that has no association with the situation.

If you are going to abandon the car, at least do it at the institution that is the lender and presumed lienholder.

as to what can happen? You can be sued for any deficiency after the vehicle is sold. I do not know if there is any ability to chase a debtor to Canada but I do not believe there is nor would it be practical to do so.


do you have any idea if your credit history report here will affect you in Canada?
