YES, but so can I and it wont buy yu a cup of coffee. What they "tell" you to do and what you "can" do maybe be FAR apart. Tell the lender "Good TRY, NO candy bar for you".

What is an involuntary repossession?
Voluntary repo is you call the loan holder and tell them to come get it or you take it to them. Involuntary they have to come & get it.
How do you find out your car loan balance?
Contact your lender they will tell you.
Do the same rules apply to the voluntary repo of a mobile home?
Basically. YES. You decide you cant pay, you tell the lender you are moving, you move out, lender sells home(not as quik as a car), lender wants balance due on the loan.
If your son bought an ATV and you cosigned for him and then filed bankruptcy and your son is behind on payments can the repo man come to your home every 48 hours after you told him your son moved out?
As cosigner on the loan you are equally responsible for for payment on the loan. If the lender has hired a repo company to take back the ATV for non payment, then the repo company is going to do everything possible to get it. That includes the frequent visits to your home in an effort to locate the ATV. If you want the repo man off your back, tell him where to find what he is looking for....or contact the lender and bring the loan payments current immediately.
Is it legal for a company that sold your loan and received cash for it to try to repo your car without contacting the company who now holds the loan?
Lets try this; Co.A sells your loan to Co.B for "cash". Now Co.A wants to repo your car? IS that the question? If so, how Co.A got paid is immaterial to you. They could have been paid in widgets as long as Co. A and Co. B were happy. Id Co. A sold with RECOURSE to Co.B and you DEFAULT on the loan, then Co. B will tell Co. A"its back to you now, GO REPO IT". If i understand your question right, the answer is YES.
If you are home and in your garage can the repo man come inside your garage to try and repo a motorcycle even if you tell him no?
Not if you tell him no nicely.
Is it legal for a repo company to call your job and tell your employer your business?
Under the Fair Debt Collection Act the only information that a creditor is allowed to give anybody else is their name, and telephone number. If a repo company, which is a collection agency, gave any other information then you should consult an attorney and sue them.
When can a creditor repossess a car?
As soon as you default on your loan terms, the authorization to repossess can go to a repo man. This is why it's important to remain in contact with your bank/car lot. If you are having financial trouble, call them to tell them what's going on; they can usually set something up to help you. Usually an order to repossess won't go out until you are three months behind--but this is with banks. Small car lots (buy-here-pay-here lots) can and will send out the repo order much sooner. If you are required to have auto insurance and drop it, the repo order usually goes out the next day.
Can they repo if payment is less than 30 days late?
Yes, they can repo your vehicle if it is even one day late. Check your contract, though. It might tell you how long exactly you have. If it gives you a time period of, say, two months and they repo it after one month, then you may be able to get your car back because they breached the contract. However, if there is no guaranteed grace period, that probably means they can repo it anytime you default on your loan.
Can your truck be repossessed if you are using it for income?
Yes, your truck can be repossessed even if you are using it to earn an income, however, you can tell your creditor that you are earning money with your truck, and that if the creditor does not repossess the truck you will use that income to make payments on your loan. Of course, if you are not making payments, and spending all of your income on other things, then the creditor has no motive to let you keep the truck.
Would like to know auto balance how much is left?
In order to find out the balance on your auto loan this is not the place you need to be. You need to either call the lender or go online to their website and log into your account. Only the lender can tell you the balance on your loan. In addition, most of the time if you will look at the bill they send you each month it may have the balance, listed as pay off, listed on the bill.
If the loan company says you have to give the car to repo and you can buy it back within 15 days do you buy it for what is owed or will they make you pay blue book?
Get the loan company to put the price in WRITING for you BEFORE you take it back. If it is not a good price, go find another car. Tell the loan company to take a hike.
