I took the title and quickly sold the car. How to sell a credit car if you have a title in your hands

The need to sell a credit car can be due to a variety of reasons, ranging from the desire to change the car to a more modern one, to financial difficulties. Therefore, quite a lot of people are interested in the question - how to do this? There are several options, and each of them is suitable in a particular case. Therefore, in this article we will tell you in detail about all the ways to sell a credit car.

How to sell a credit car

Regardless of whether the title is in the bank or in your hands, there are many legal ways to sell a mortgaged car. In total they can be divided into five main groups:

The classic option with the bank participating in payment.

Using the services of intermediaries.

Re-issuing a loan to the buyer.

Obtaining a cash loan to pay off a debt for which the car is collateral.

Sale by proxy.

Each of these methods has both advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, some of them have their own division according to certain subtleties. So let's go in order.

Classic version

This method of selling a credit car is the most popular and safest for all three parties - participants in the transaction (you, as the seller, the bank and the buyer). Its principle is that after searching for a buyer, you agree with the bank that you want to sell your car and use these funds to pay off the balance of the loan. If a commercial structure agrees to such a transaction, then everything happens in six stages:

You are submitting an application for an operation.

The bank opens two accounts. The first will receive the amount necessary to repay the loan, and the second will receive the difference from the transaction amount (the money you will receive).

The buyer pays the pre-agreed cost of the car, and these funds are distributed to the two above accounts in the required proportion.

The bank writes off the required amount and completely covers your debt, and gives you the rest of the money from the second account.

The credit institution removes the encumbrance from your car.

You document the purchase and sale of a car and transfer it to the new owner.

At first glance, it may seem that the procedure is quite complicated, but it is not. The only way it differs from the standard sale of a used car is to negotiate with the bank and write an application. All other actions that are not included in the standard transaction are actually carried out automatically without your participation.

The disadvantage of this option is that it will only work if the selling price of the car exceeds the loan balance. Basically, this method is used after at least half of the loan repayment period. Although occasionally cars are sold earlier.

This option has recently begun to be used to alleviate the situation of bank clients whose licenses have been revoked. For example, a person made a deposit of more than 1.4 million rubles, and in the same commercial structure you have a loan for which a car is collateral. You agree with the temporary administration or the bankruptcy trustee for the liquidation of the bank about conducting a mutual transaction. Part of the funds (loan balance) is debited from the buyer’s deposit, and he transfers the rest of the cost of the car to you personally. After this, the encumbrance is removed and documentary certification of the sale and purchase is made.

Through intermediaries

Depending on your choice or situation, one of three organizations can act as intermediaries in the sale of a credit car:

The bank itself, which has the car as collateral.

Car dealerships offering trade-in services.

Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP).

The third option is the most unpleasant, since it is applied without your desire in the process of enforcement proceedings. Bailiffs seize your vehicle and sell it through a specialized auction in order to pay off the debt. Everything happens without your participation after the delay occurs and the bank receives a court decision.

As soon as it finds its buyer, the transaction is completed practically without your participation. You will only need to sign the purchase and sale documents. In both cases, the funds for the transaction pass through the bank with which the car is pledged. If there are excess funds left after closing the debt, then the commercial structure will return them to you, and if they are not enough, then you will have to repay the balance of the loan yourself.

The main disadvantage of this method is the price of the car is reduced by 10-20%. Moreover, for faster implementation, both the FSSP and banks with car dealerships resort to this practice.

Re-issuing a loan to the buyer

This option is the least popular, but it still occurs when selling collateral vehicles. To complete the transaction, you will need to find someone who would be willing to purchase a used car on credit and also meet the requirements of your bank. You, together with the buyer, contact your credit institution with a statement of intention to change the borrower.

After receiving applications and the required list of documents, the bank reviews the application and makes a decision. If the answer is yes, then you are released from debt obligations, which are transferred to the buyer. Also on this day the car is re-registered to the new owner. If the cost of the car exceeds the loan amount, then the buyer gives you the difference “hand to hand.”

The main disadvantage of this option is to find a person who meets the requirements of the tank and is willing to take out your used car on credit. This is a difficult task.

Obtaining a second loan to repay the one for which the car is collateral

The name of this method almost completely describes its principle. You take out a cash loan from another bank, and with the funds received you repay the loan, for which the car is used as collateral. After removing the encumbrance from it, you carry out a purchase and sale transaction.

The downside is that the overpayment on unsecured cash loans is often higher than on those that have collateral. That is, newly issued debt obligations will be more expensive than those that you currently have.

Sale by proxy

It is worth noting right away that this method can only be considered if the buyer is your close relative or a very good friend, in whose honesty you are 100% sure. The very point is that you are issuing a general power of attorney for the new owner. In the future, he will pay off your debt to the bank in full. You get the difference “hand to hand”.

Convenience lies in the absence of contacting the bank or intermediaries, drawing up the necessary documents (except for a power of attorney), etc. After repaying the loan, all you have to do is remove the encumbrance from the car.

Disadvantage - if there are no payments on the loan, you will have problems even if you have a receipt. After all, for the bank and according to the documents, you still remain the owner of the car.

How not to sell a car

On many forums, some users advise selling credit cars without notifying the bank, transferring the existing title or a duplicate received from the traffic police to the new owner. You shouldn't do that. This is due to the fact that such actions are regarded at the legislative level as fraud, and the punishment for this article is from 2 years in prison. The same responsibility applies when selling a car “for spare parts”.

We do not advise you to act in this way, even if you want to immediately repay the loan with the money received. There are various situations in life, ranging from the banal temptation to spend money in another direction, and ending with robbery.

A car loan helps many people realize the dream of owning their own car. Some enjoy using the services of banks, handing over old cars and taking out new loans, and can no longer imagine their life without the opportunity to take out a loan. For others, monthly payments become unbearable, and the only way out of the situation seems to be an urgent sale of the loan car. But how to sell a car without a title that is pledged?

Why doesn't the bank hand over the PTS?

The agreement concluded between a credit institution and a bank upon transfer of PTS has three main goals:

1. If the borrower is unable to pay loan obligations and has numerous late payments, the court decides to confiscate the car from him. The bank puts the car up for auction and sends the proceeds to pay off the debt.

2. While the title is in the bank, the owner of the vehicle does not have the right to sell the car. This way, the bank provides itself with guarantees that the borrower will repay the debt regularly and will not disappear with the car.

3. Before the end of the loan agreement, the borrower is obliged to insure the car and in the event of an accident or theft, the insurance company will return the full cost of the loan car. In this case, the bank is protected from loss of funds.

Standard car loan programs provide for the withdrawal of the title immediately after registering the car. Up to 15 days are allotted for it and during this period the owner must have time to register the car with the traffic police and deliver the title to the credit institution for safekeeping. The bank retains the PTS to ensure full payment of the debt by the borrower. After the loan is repaid, the document is returned to the owner of the car.

In some cases, it is allowed to withdraw the title after paying off most of the loan.

Methods for selling a credit car if the title is in the bank

You can sell a credit car on your own or with the help of a bank. But you need to understand that this is a long and complex process. First you need to calculate whether selling a credit car will be profitable. After all, perhaps such a deal will turn out to be inappropriate.

• If the initial payment was a significant part of the total cost of the car, then such a deal will be profitable for the borrower and when the vehicle is sold, he will be left with money.
• If the car loan required a small down payment, most likely the transaction will be accompanied by financial losses. When leaving the dealership, the vehicle loses up to 15% of its value, as well as up to 10% for each subsequent year of its operation.

A decent portion of the costs will be associated with paying off interest on the loan, insurance, the debt itself, commissions and other things. It is clear that it is impossible to sell a car at a price that could cover all expenses.

You can choose the best option for yourself by studying all possible ways to sell a credit car.

Independent search for a buyer

You can search for a person who wants to purchase a credit car on your own. Submit an ad in newspapers or publish it on the Internet, ask friends. When a buyer is found, you need to go to the bank with him and contact the manager with a request for early repayment of the debt.

By transferring funds to a bank account, the buyer repays the borrower's debt. After the transaction is completed, the bank employee removes the car from the register of collateral and the new owner is issued a title of the paid car. With this document, he goes to the traffic police, where he deregisters the car and draws up a sales contract.

This method allows you to completely cover the debt to the bank, but searching for a potential buyer may take some time.

Selling a vehicle with the help of a bank, if the title is in the bank

The sale of a car can be entrusted to the bank when the balance of the debt is approximately equal to the market value of the vehicle. To do this, you need to go to the credit institution and notify the bank employee about the lack of funds to repay the loan.

The car with keys and title will need to be driven to a special site of the lender’s partner organization. After which the bank will post information about the car on the official website. The bank will independently handle the sale of the pledged car. To speed up the process of selling collateral, bank employees set prices below market prices by 10–15%.

This method frees the borrower from searching for a buyer; however, there is no guarantee that the proceeds from the sale of the car will be enough to fully repay the debt to the bank. If there is not enough money, the manager will recalculate the loan and the borrower will be obliged to continue repaying the loan, but the payments will be less.

Selling a credit car as a trade-in if you have a title in hand

Trade-in – services of car dealerships for the purchase of used cars. The job of finding someone willing to buy a car falls on the shoulders of the dealership.

To complete the transaction, the borrower needs to bring the vehicle to a car dealership, where a technical inspection will be carried out to determine the final price. After which the borrower will need to issue a power of attorney for the car dealership, which, in turn, will repay the debt.

This option frees the borrower from having to look for a buyer on his own, but one must be prepared for the fact that the car dealership may lower the price.

Car loan assignment

You can sell a credit car by transferring it to another person, who will also purchase the loan along with the car. To do this, the potential buyer will need to provide the bank with documents confirming his solvency.

This option is convenient for the borrower and beneficial for the buyer, but the client may not be suitable for the bank due to lack of credit history, low solvency, etc.

Paying off debt through a consumer loan

If the borrower’s solvency allows him to take out another loan, he can apply for a consumer loan and pay off his debt to the bank. And after that you can safely sell the car.

Sale by proxy

The borrower finds a buyer and negotiates with him the price of the car, from which the remaining loan balance is deducted. The seller takes the resulting amount and issues a power of attorney to the buyer, who continues to pay the debt for him.

This option is convenient for both parties, however, such transactions should only be made with reliable people. Since problems that may arise with the traffic police, insurance or bank will be resolved by the official owner of the car (the seller in this case). And for the buyer, the risk is that the seller, after the buyer pays off the loan, may refuse to give the car back.

Selling a credit car through auction

You can sell a car through special auctions where collateral is sold. The bank, together with the borrower, puts the car up for sale and gives the title to the one who offers a large amount for it.

The borrower uses the proceeds from the sale to repay the debt to the bank. This method is one of the most profitable for the debtor, since it is possible to sell the car at the highest possible price.

Exchange of loan for deposit

If the borrower manages to find a person who has a deposit with the bank, the following transaction can be carried out - pay off the loan debt with a deposit. This option can be implemented if the loan and deposit are in the same bank, with a temporary administration introduced.

The method is convenient for the borrower, but banks are reluctant to enter into such transactions because they prefer real money. And it is very difficult to find such a buyer.

Responsibility for selling a loan vehicle

When selling a car you will have to pay tax if:

• service life less than 3 years;
• the selling price of the vehicle is higher than the price for which it was purchased.

The responsibility for selling the car lies with whoever is selling it - the bank or the borrower.

You can sell a credit car, but before doing this, you must notify the bank of your intention. It is much more profitable for banks to receive money than a problem loan, so they are willing to meet them halfway.

If it is not older than 5 years, it often turns out that the car is on credit and the debt has not yet been paid by the previous owner. There is nothing terrible here, it is much worse when the seller hides this circumstance - after the purchase, the new owner begins a “happy life” with proof of his rightness to credit institutions, which does not always lead to a positive result.

Buying a credit car second hand has the least risk when it comes to making it. In such a situation, the buyer receives a guarantee that the car does not have hidden encumbrances in the form of collateral or credit, and buys a vehicle that is absolutely clean from a legal point of view. Here, when making a transaction, you just need to properly protect yourself, then the new owner is guaranteed to receive a car without unpleasant “tails”.

There are two safe purchasing options: buying a car from a seller or buying a loan car from a bank. Each has its own advantages and the buyer needs to choose the one that suits him more for some reason.

Buying a credit car from a seller

If at the time of making a purchase you know that the car is on credit and the seller does not hide this, then in order to complete the purchase it is necessary to completely remove the encumbrance from the car or re-issue the loan to the buyer. Complete removal of the encumbrance means repayment of the loan from the bank, and the bank issues a certificate confirming the removal of the car’s data from the lists of cars with restrictions for sale used by the vehicle registration authorities.

A certificate may be required to prove that the vehicle is indeed no longer on loan and a purchase and sale transaction can be made with it. It is also often required by vehicle registration authorities if the bank did not manage to remove the vehicle data from the credit list or this information was not updated in the transport database.

Buying a car from the seller directly

In order to safely conduct such a transaction, it is necessary to take care of the correct execution of documents. To complete such a transaction you will need:

• Certificate from the bank about the remaining loan amount. It is needed in order to determine the full amount of the unpaid loan. This amount will need to be repaid before the vehicle is re-registered to a new owner.
• A notarized receipt stating that the amount paid by the buyer to the credit institution is part of the contract price of the car to remove the encumbrance.
• Vehicle passport (if the owner has it).

Buying a credit car, if the title is in hand, will look like this. With this package of documents, both parties go to the bank and repay the remaining balance of the loan, after which the bank removes the restriction on re-registration of vehicles. Then you need to obtain a bank statement confirming full repayment of the loan and go to the vehicle registration authority to re-register the transaction.

In the case where the PTS is in the bank, you will have to wait a few days until the bank carries out all the necessary procedures and gives the passport to the previous owner or to the new one if there is a general power of attorney.

Another option is possible when it is in a bank. To do this, you also need to find out the loan amount from the bank. The buyer and the seller enter into a purchase and sale agreement, the buyer writes a notarized receipt for repayment of the full amount after the purchase and the procedure for changing ownership. With these documents, the seller contacts the bank and notifies it of its intention to sell the car.

As a rule, upon receipt of these documents, the bank meets the wishes of the clients, issues a vehicle passport and removes the vehicle data from the list of vehicles with restrictions on registration actions. After re-registration, the new owner repays the remaining loan amount from the bank and receives a certificate of full fulfillment of loan obligations in relation to this car.

Re-issuance of a loan

You can try to re-issue a loan at the bank. Some credit institutions agree to carry out such a transaction subject to strict compliance with all the bank’s conditions.
To perform this procedure, you can use two methods:

1. The seller writes to the bank a statement of intent to replace the collateral. That is, he asks the bank to transfer the loan collateral from the car to another property. For example, an apartment, a dacha and other movable or immovable property. If such a procedure is approved by the bank, you must wait until the restrictions on the car are lifted and re-register it to the new owner.
2. The buyer writes an application to the bank to transfer credit obligations to himself. If the bank agrees, then the buyer is issued a certificate from the bank about the change of persons in the obligation to repay the loan and a title to re-register the car to the new owner. It should be borne in mind that if the bank agrees to carry out such a procedure, the buyer will have to provide the bank with all the necessary documents to apply for a loan and prove his solvency.

Buying a credit car from a bank

To complete such a transaction, you need to contact the bank with a statement of intent to purchase a car. An indispensable condition for completing such a transaction is the conclusion of an additional agreement on the mandatory repayment of the loan after the re-registration of ownership rights, indicating the deadline for fulfilling the obligation. It should be borne in mind that this method is the most risky for a bank, so not many banks agree to process a transaction this way.

If the decision on the transaction is positive, you need to obtain from the bank a certificate of intent to repay the loan after re-registration of the car and go to the place of registration to re-register the vehicle. After re-registration of the car, the buyer must deposit the required amount into a bank account within the specified period. After the bank receives the money, you will be given a certificate confirming the complete removal of restrictions from the car.

Purchasing a credit car with a PTS from a bank differs only in that, along with a certificate of intent to repay the loan after making the purchase, you are also issued a vehicle passport, which will need to be returned to the bank after the re-registration procedure is completed. The PTS will remain there until the loan is fully repaid.

Most people who purchase a car on credit know exactly from what funds the debt will be repaid in the future. But there are often times when life situations change dramatically, and not for the better.

Is it possible to sell a car that is pledged to a credit institution, and what needs to be done for this?

Possible reasons for selling a car

There may be several reasons for selling a pledged car:

• inability to repay the loan properly due to current financial circumstances, such as job loss, salary reduction, and so on;
• the opportunity to purchase a new car;
• formation of more loyal offers in the credit product market.

In each case, you will have to perform certain actions with the collateral property. According to the laws of the Russian Federation, you can either sell the car or change the mortgagee, that is, the credit institution.

The last procedure is called refinancing and is carried out on the terms provided by the banks.

Is it possible to sell a car on credit?

You can sell a pledged car in completely legal ways, regardless of who has the original vehicle passport (from the car owner or from a credit institution). To do this, you will first need to obtain the bank's consent to carry out this operation.

Typically, banks accommodate their clients, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the concluded loan agreement.

Therefore, before taking any action, it is recommended to carefully study the document and, if necessary, obtain additional explanations from bank credit experts or qualified lawyers.

If the loan agreement provides for the possibility of selling a collateralized car, then the bank must provide a statement of intent to perform this action and obtain consent.

If the agreement does not provide for the possibility of alienation of property before full repayment of the debt, you can use the services of loan refinancing or full early repayment.

Where do they sell used cars on credit? Mainly in car dealerships that have contractual terms with banks and are official partners of certain credit institutions.

How to do it legally

So, there are four legal ways to sell a credit car:

• selling a car after receiving permission from the bank. The car owner can independently find a buyer and conclude a sales agreement with him;

After the transaction is completed, part of the funds will be used to repay the loan, and the remaining amount will be transferred to the former owner of the car.

• offer the bank other property as collateral instead of a car. Banks often take such actions. At the same time, encumbrances are removed from the car, and at the same time documents are drawn up for other property (land, apartment, garage, country house, and so on). Naturally, when performing this operation, all expenses associated with the preparation of documents will need to be paid by the person being credited;
• . If the loan agreement provides for the possibility of full early repayment, then a person can get a loan from another bank, but without car collateral, repay the car loan and then freely dispose of their property;

Often, after such an operation, a certain amount of money still remains at the disposal of the former borrower.

• sell a pledged car through a car dealership, which is a partner of the bank. In this situation, all issues with the creditor are resolved by the employees of the car dealership. The car owner only needs to obtain the bank’s consent and transfer the car to the car dealership.

The negative side of such a deal is that car dealerships do not offer its real market value for the car, but buy the equipment much cheaper.

All other schemes for selling a pledged car are illegal, and the car owner bears criminal liability for their implementation.

Through a car dealership

Most often, mortgaged cars are sold through car dealerships. To find out which company you should contact to sell a car that is pledged, when submitting an application for a transaction to the bank, ask the organization’s employees for a list of companies engaged in this type of activity.

You can also obtain similar information on the bank’s official website or by calling the help desk.

When selling a car through a car dealership, although the car owner loses some money, he practically does not participate in the transaction.

Car dealership specialists directly contact the mortgagee banks, determining all the conditions of the upcoming transaction. They also independently find a buyer for the car.

It should be noted that first of all, the proceeds from the sale of the car will be sent to the bank to repay the car loan.

Via bank

All other schemes for the sale of a car that is pledged are carried out with the help or with the consent of the creditor bank.

The possibility of refinancing debt and transferring other property to the bank as collateral is decided individually in each specific case. In this case, you should pay attention to the availability of permission for full early repayment of the car loan.

Most of these agreements provide for the opportunity to repay the debt before the appointed time, but either with an additional fee for the operation or with a limit on the balance of the debt (most often the limit is 50% or less).

What to do if PTS is in your hands

A bank collateral agreement may provide for two different situations:

• keeping the car's passport in the bank until the car loan is repaid in full;
• a nominal deposit, that is, both the car and the title remain with the car owner, only appropriate restrictions are imposed on the car.

If the contract provides for a second collateral option, then the process of selling the car is greatly simplified, since all actions to change the owner of the car are registered in this document.

However, you should not think that it will be possible to sell a pledged car without obtaining the bank’s consent.

Even in this case, special permission is required to carry out the operation. Otherwise, all actions of the car owner will be considered fraud.

Actions when PTS is in the bank

Seizure of title is the most common type of collateral for a car loan. In this case, it will not be possible to legally sell the car without the participation of the bank.

However, if critical situations arise, banks do not prevent such actions from being carried out, since the main goal of a credit institution is to make a profit and full repayment of issued loans.

It is more expedient for the bank to quickly sell the pledged car with the assistance of the car owner than to put it up for auction on its own after a lengthy procedure for seizing the pledged property, which can only be done through the judicial authorities.

How to sell yourself

If an individual decides to independently sell a car purchased on a car loan, then he must:

• contact the bank with a corresponding application, attaching all the required documents. For example, a certificate from work confirming a reduction in wages, a certificate from the labor exchange confirming the status of unemployed, and so on;
• wait for the bank's decision to approve the operation. Before issuing such a decision, the bank will offer several other options for repaying the debt: installments, refinancing, “credit holidays” and so on. And only if the car owner decides to sell the car will he issue the required paper;
• then the car owner independently finds a buyer, using any available means: the car market, advertisements in the newspaper or on Internet resources, and so on;
• the owner of the car, who is the seller in this situation, and the buyer of the car come together to the bank, where a purchase and sale agreement is concluded between them. At the same time, bank specialists independently make a note in the PTS. The proceeds from the sale are used to pay off the seller's debt;
• the new car owner, after repaying the car loan of the previous car owner, is issued a vehicle passport, but provided that the money for the car has been transferred in full. Otherwise, the car remains pledged to the bank, and the buyer pays off the debt on the car loan. That is, a new loan agreement and collateral agreement are concluded between the new car owner and the bank.

In case of receiving a car loan, the car buyer is also obliged to provide the credit institution with a package of necessary documents.

Responsibility for gray schemes

The procedure for selling a credit car is quite lengthy and requires obtaining special permissions from the lender – the mortgagee.

Some people decide to do things in other ways:

• send a duplicate vehicle passport to the traffic police and use it to sell the car;
• sell a car without the bank’s permission;
• sell the car in parts and then report the vehicle stolen.

All these actions are contrary to the laws of the Russian Federation and are severely punished.

The main articles of the criminal code for such operations are:

• - fraud. Punishment can range from a fine of up to 120 thousand rubles to imprisonment for up to 2 years;
• - false denunciation. The punishment is similar to the previous article.

The punishment is determined by the court in each individual case individually and depends on the severity of the actions taken and other situations that led to the trial.

From existing judicial practice, we can conclude that in most cases, fraudsters “get off” with a fine, but there are also situations where the perpetrators receive a real punishment associated with imprisonment.

In addition to these articles, in most cases problems arise with insurance companies, which regard such actions as unjust enrichment () and illegal use of other people's funds (). This mainly applies to cases where the car owner reports the car stolen.

Thus, you can sell a credit car either independently or with the help of a bank, and in completely legal ways.

“Grey” illegal schemes for the sale of collateralized property are prosecuted by the criminal code and are severely punished.

Currently, credit institutions and traffic police are working together to combat illegal sales of cars, which significantly complicates the possibility of using “gray” car sales schemes.

Video: Car loan TV - how to sell a loan car

A credit vehicle is a common phenomenon among Russians. A huge number of car loans are issued every year. What if you need one that is still on credit? How possible is this, and how to sell a credit car? What difficulties will you have to face? We definitely have something to talk about.

Possible reasons for selling a car

Selling a loaned car may be required for various reasons. There are many of them, some of them will seem banal, others more significant:

• division of property during divorce;
• the need to purchase another vehicle that is more suitable for life circumstances;
• loss or decrease in the owner's solvency;
• the emergence of life circumstances in which there is no need for a car;
• difficult life situation.

Various circumstances may arise in the life of a person who decides to sell a credit car.

Definitely can be sold. And it won’t be difficult to do this. Many Russians decide to sell their vehicle, which is still on loan from the bank. This can be done in several ways, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition, you need to know the conditions under which the loan was issued. In other words, you need to carefully study the loan agreement. Today we will look at the most common situations and look at the options for selling a collateralized vehicle.

Without bank permission

Many of you may have a question: is it possible to sell a car on credit without obtaining the appropriate permission from the bank. Let's say right away that this operation will be illegal. While a loan is opened for a car, the vehicle is owned by the bank. This will continue until the loan is completely closed.

The owner can only drive the car. He does not yet have the right to sell or donate. Of course, you can sell a credit car, but only after notifying the bank of your decision.

If PTS is in hand

In very rare cases, the title of the pledged vehicle remains in the hands of the owner. Still, we must look at this case so that you know how the sale of a credit car is carried out. You need to start by visiting the bank that provided the car loan. If this action is not completed, then you can easily become a fraudster.

Under no circumstances should you start selling a car without notifying the banking organization of your decision. In general, it is not recommended to take any actions with collateral.

Banks usually have no objections to the sale of a secured car. Such organizations are more interested in receiving the invested funds than in the transfer of ownership of the car. After all, the car will have to be put up for auction and wait for a sale. For the bank, this is unnecessary trouble that it does not need.

PTS in the bank

This situation is more common, since almost all banks take documents for a car when applying for a loan. , if PTS is in a bank, it can be implemented in several ways. Banks have no objections to each of them:

• you can contact a specialized company that buys collateral cars;
• there are showrooms that accept similar vehicles for sale;
• Selling your car yourself is also possible.

The PTS remains in the bank until the loan is fully repaid. Even if the owner changes, the PTS still remains in the bank.

Legal ways

You can sell a credit car; there are several legal ways to do this. There is no point in looking for other options for solving the problem of selling a collateral machine. These will be fraudulent actions, for which severe punishment will follow. The following methods are considered legal:

• independently with mandatory notification to the bank and the future buyer;
• with the help of a banking organization that provided a car loan;
• through a car dealership;
• through the court.

Would you like to learn more about how to legally sell a loaned car? Let's talk in detail about each of these options.

Via bank

This option for selling a credit car is the simplest and fastest, but not the most profitable for the owner. In this case, you will need to contact your bank and declare the need to sell the collateral. Almost every bank cooperates with car dealerships that accept used vehicles for sale.

Please note that if you entrust the sale of a car to a bank, the terms of the transaction will not be favorable for the owner. The financial institution will independently set the cost of the car, focusing on its interests. You shouldn’t even hope for an amount that will be even slightly close to the average market price. The advantage of this method is the rapid removal of debt obligations.

Through a car dealership

Credit cars may be of interest to the relevant car dealerships. This method is called Trade-in. It is implemented as follows:

• the owner of the car brings it to the salon along with documents;
• the car undergoes mandatory diagnostics;
• the cost of the car is discussed, which will satisfy both parties;
• a power of attorney is issued for the salon, which undertakes to close the loan obligations;
• the financial institution that issued the loan draws up a tripartite agreement;

This option is convenient, fast and safe, requiring a minimum of effort and time from the owner. Thus, it is convenient to exchange your old credit car for a new one. You just need to choose another car from the dealership and pay the difference in price. You should be prepared to install a lower price, which will be installed by the salon.

On one's own

Independent sale of a pledged car is possible. This method is complicated, but it allows you to save some money. The car owner will have to look for a buyer on his own, which will not be so easy. As practice shows, Russians are afraid to get involved with credit machines.

If a buyer is found, then you need to go with him to the bank to close the entire loan or part of it. This option is applicable only in cases where there is no debt on the loan. In this case, the process of selling a car goes according to the following scheme:

• the potential buyer pays the banking organization the balance remaining on the loan;
• the car is taken out of collateral;
• the car changes owner and is deregistered with the traffic police.

The most difficult thing is to find a buyer. The time spent is worth it, because only by selling yourself can you get the maximum benefit. There is another option for independent sale - through a judicial organization. This method is chosen extremely rarely, since it is not profitable either for the bank or for the car owner. The court sets a minimum price for the car, which is only enough to repay the principal amount of the loan. Interest and penalties for late payments are not included in this amount.

Early repayment

This opportunity is always provided, but in some cases banks impose penalties. In this case, early repayment becomes unprofitable for the car owner. You need to carefully study the contract, paying attention to the fine print and footnotes. In this case, your attentiveness will allow you to save a considerable amount and make the right decision regarding a car loan.

Responsibility for illegal methods

To be honest, there are illegal ways to sell a car. We will not talk about them, so as not to tempt any of you and not to fill your head with unnecessary and completely unnecessary information. It’s better to talk about the liability that comes as a result of illegal actions with a credit car.

Selling a secured car bypassing the bank and hiding information about the availability of a loan from a potential buyer is regarded as fraud. Also in large sizes. At this time, such illegal actions are subject to arrest for 5 years. Agree, it is better to do everything legally. Let a certain amount be lost, but no one will be sent to prison.

Anyone can sell a car loan. You need to carefully consider your decision, because loss of finances will be inevitable. Consider in detail and thoroughly the method that will be used to achieve this goal. How much money are you willing to lose, and how important is the urgency of this procedure? Do not act in circumvention of the law - it will definitely not turn out to be anything good.
