Tips on Buying Cars: Voluntary surrender of car, security disability benefits, social security disability benefits


Question
If I voluntarily return my used car to the dealer where I bought it, can I be sued?  I receive Social Security disability benefits.  I have been told I cannot be sued for the payoff of this loan.  Is this true?

Answer
I haven't read your contract, but I'd be surprised if has a "walk-away-scot-free" clause.  The whole point of contracts is to lay out the terms that both sides agree to, especially if one of them decides they want out.  I'm not a lawyer, so you need to talk to one and show him or her the contract.  That's the only way to know for sure where you stand.
