What is the difference between a car loan and car lease?

My mom wants to return her vehicle and she says it’s out on a loan. My parents never bought a car, and now that my father passed away, she turns to me for what to do. She wants to know if she can just go and turn it in and pick out a new one or will she have to pay more for some damage to the vehicle! Please help. Serious answers only!

How will paying for a car loan on a repo car affect my credit score?

MissJessica asked:


My husband and I signed a $20,000 loan on a truck. The payments were behind and the car was in a wreck. The truck was repossessed and the loan company says we still owe $8000. The loan company offered a settlement of $2800 if we pay by the end of the month. Does this sound right to anyone?
How would it really affect my credit if I pay off the loan now?
