    Can the Leon holder report the car stolen? The car broke down on the interstate and was left on the side of the road and now cannot be found. Can they report it stolen and have me arrested?

    Do you have insurance on the car?

    The lender is likely to have required proof of theft and collision insurance?

    No I canceled the insurance on the car as it was broke down on the interstate and can not locate it and I canceled the tags as well.

    You did all this, yet you didn't contact the police? Really?

    Frankly, your story isn't believable. Defrauding the lender (yes, that's what I think you're doing) may lead to much harsher penalties than simply defaulting on a loan.

    I’m not defrauding the lender we have had nothing but problems with the car and kept trying to get them to fix it and it broke down on the interstate and now it can’t be found and I’m not paying insurance on a vehicle I don’t have possession of!

    Why? It's not their car. YOU have to get it fixed.
    A reasonable person would have (a) removed the vehicle from the interstate (tow trucks have a pretty good track record with that type of thing) and (2) reported the disappearance of the vehicle to the police.
    Once the lender finds out, you may, in fact, end up paying insurance on a car that you don't have possession of and at a much higher rate.

    I still don't think you're on the up-and-up about this, but for the sake of argument, I'll say you are. You have done just about everything wrong that a person in this type of situation could do wrong. It's going to cost you a ton to get out of the mess you've made.

    The "Leon holder"?

    [​IMG]

    I assume you meant lienholder, but it doesn't matter. Anyone can report anything to anyone.

    Have you arrested for what?

    WTF are you waiting for?

    Did you cancel the insurance before or after it broke down?

    How long did you leave it on the side of the freeway, and how long ago did this happen? Typically, broken down cars on the side of the interstate are tagged and towed within 24 hours or so. I'll bet you a dollar that the car is in an impound lot somewhere.

    Right - and the OP would know if he had reported the vehicle missing/stolen promptly instead of just leaving it sit on the side of the road because he had a beef with the lender.

    If you had theft insurance and kept it and reported the car stolen you wouldn't be in crap city like you are now.

    As @zddoodah pointed out, the car is almost definitely in an impound lot somewhere, and I'm sure that the OP knows it.

    And guess who gets to pay for it to be released? That's right, boys & girls - @Jaimec1220. I believe proof of insurance will be required, as well. If they refuse to do so? Well, there's a different kettle of fish. The impound lot/tow truck company WILL get their money, and so will the lienholder. And @Jaimec1220 will end up with empty pockets and no car.

    How are people this stupid? You signed a contract with a place to buy a car. YOU are 100% responsible to make all the payments to pay it off. YOU are responsible to have insurance on the auto. You are digging a bigger hole for yourself. Now you will have to pay the car off, pay towing fees, pay storage lot fees and pay for insurance so they will release the car to you. Good luck and stop digging holes for yourself in life.

    Specifically, the finance contract is almost always with someone OTHER than the guy who sold you the car. You're not doing anything to the guy who sold you the lemon by not paying, you're screwing the bank which will come back on you and likely end up with a collection/lawsuit and certainly a trashed credit record.
