What to Do if You Fall Behind on Auto Loan Payments

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) reports that many automobile borrowers are facing difficulties, with some lenders illegally repossessing vehicles even after payments have been made or extensions granted. This is a significant issue since auto loans represent a major source of household debt in the U.S. The bureau has found that lenders sometimes add unauthorized costs to loans and is prepared to take action against those employing such practices.
