If you are late, depending on who you owe, you can get taken to a collection agency, charged fines and/or have your car repossesed. I actually know two people who couldn't do the payments, it may have been for a couple of months, and their cars were repossesed.

Can you be arrested for late car payments and you have moved essentially hiding the car?

Moving and hiding property that you have never paid for is theft - in this case, Grand Theft Auto!! The car is not yours - it is the property of the loan lender (they are listed as the legal owner on the registration) - The buyer in this case has violated a written contract by defaulting on agreed upon payments, and the lender has every right to take whatever recourse is necessary to recover THEIR property.You won't get arrested for late payments, but you will get arrested for auto theft. What good is even having a car hidden away that you cannot drive out on the open roads? Give it back - save the headaches.I don't know about being arrested.. But I didn't make my payments and moved... And two years later, they repo-ed my car... Without warning. I walked out one day and it was gone. So... Just be careful, they will find you and charge you fees for having to find you over the years. NO, I don't think you can be arrested because of late payments. The most I believe can happen is that the car dealership will try to find you so that they can repose the car because of late payments. Also you're credit will be affected greatly.AnswerLuckily if you are living in the United States you can not be put in jail for late payments on your car. The US does not punish you for late payments but under most states the person or persons to which you owe the money can have the courts take the money from your bank accounts or payroll check. As far as hiding the car, it's not a good idea, but I'm not sure whether you can be arrested for it. They will eventually find the car and take it just the same.


Can a car be repossessed for late fees we have never been late on the payment but got late fees?

If your payments are current, they're not coming to repossess your car. Trust me, the finance company would much rather have your money than your collateral (i.e., the car).
