When your car is repossessed, what you will get will depend on your local governmental regulations. When I was in a car wreck, I was able to go by the junk yard and get my tool kit out of my car.
How do you write a car repossession letter?
Yes, because reguardless of what the company did after they took back the car, the fact still remains that it was repossesed.
If a car is sold after repossession does the law states that it must be reported to the credit bureau as zero balance?
The tow/repossession company has to notify the police of the repossession so the car can't be reported stolen..
In the state of Ohio, your car may be repossessed if you miss one payment. Your car may be taken any time of the day or night by the repossession company. The repossession company is not allowed to keep any items that you may have left in the car. The company must inform you as to what they are going to do with the car, including selling it, putting it in a car auction, or keeping it.

Some do, most do not.
When my car was rep'd, The finance company went to court and garnished my pay check for what I still owed on the car after they sold it at auction. This was in Kansas 10 years ago.
I only know about the state of Massachusetts. And yes in our state they have one hour to report the repossession to the police department in the town of which the car was taken.
Yes, you owe the difference of the amount of the loan and what the vehicle was sold for plus any costs of the repossession. You are expected to pay that amount.
The LENDER is responsible for every detail of a repossession. They may pass the costs of repair on to the repo company.
If your car is repossessed you are responsible for the difference in what it brought when sold by the loan company and what you owed, plus the repossession charges. That is more than likely where the $9,000 comes from. Rarely does the car bring even close to retail, and most often is sold at wholesale price. This leaves you in the hole for the balance which you will have to pay. This is repossession is such a bad idea. You need to seek legal advice from a lawyer.
