Can collateral on a loan be voluntarily turned in?

Answer by  Melissa101010 (4405)

Yes it can but it will still go on to your credit and you will probably still loose your car too. Banks are greedy.

Yes it can voluntarily be turned in but most times it is already too late as the principal interest has exceeded the value of the Collateral item in question.

Any time an individual is unable to pay off a loan that has collateral, the collateral itself may be surrendered. For example, a car would be considered collateral on a loan. This is often referred to as a voluntary reposession in which the vehicle is surrendered and the loan is considered paid off.

You will have to talk to the agency that issued your loan, but they will most likely accept that scenario. It saves them the cost of repossession.
