Part of making sure that a vehicle loan is valid is ensuring that the original loan was processed properly and that the dealership or the uh financial agent that made the loan followed all the regulations. And as part of doing a car short sale or part of looking at your car loan to make sure that it's valid, you want to make sure that you're um inquiring about all of these rules. If you have a vehicle that you owe too much on, you owe more than it's worth, you can't afford the payments, one thing to do is make sure that your loan is actually valid.
