Auto-loan deficiency balances keep growing after repossession and sale
After a vehicle is repossessed and sold, some lenders continue reporting an increasing balance to credit bureaus instead of crediting the sale proceeds against the deficiency. The reported figures are often internally inconsistent, showing both a fixed charge-off amount and a rising past-due balance, which makes the reporting difficult for consumers to dispute.
