‘Finances are getting tighter’: US car repossessions surge as more Americans default on auto loans

Wall Street sounds alarm over strain throughout car lending market as experts warn of potential risks for wider economy

Alarm bells are ringing on Wall Street. The recent collapses of Tricolor, a used car seller and sub-prime auto lender, and First Brands, an auto parts supplier, have put the finance industry on edge, almost two decades after problems in the sub-prime mortgage lending market set the stage for the global financial crisis.

“When you see one cockroach, there are probably more,” Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan Chase CEO, ominously cautioned analysts this week, after the US’s largest bank disclosed a $170m charge tied to Tricolor’s bankruptcy. “Everyone should be forewarned on this one.”

As the car lending market shows signs of strain, business around repossessions is booming. “Right now, we’re overwhelmed with work,” George Badeen, who runs Midwest Recovery and Adjustment in Detroit, Michigan, said.

The so-called repo man, tasked with recovering vehicles from drivers who default on loan agreements, was eulogized in music by Bruce Springsteen and in the 1984 Alex Cox film Repo Man.

If/When Trump drops dead.

And Vance is sworn in as POTUS.

MAGA/GOP are not gonna accept him with his Indian wife and mixed kids.

His wife was not raised as a Christian and is currently a hardcore, card carrying Hindu.

She is clueless on Christians, American Evangelical Christians and anything related to Christianity.

I’m not sure if her and Vance are racing their kids as Hindu, Christian, both or what.

It will be interesting when/if that day comes when he gets sworn in…
I was saying the same thing not too long ago to a friend of mine. It will be very similar to when Hitler relieved us of his company. Whoever second in command is won't be as charismatic and the things will fall apart
