First: no, you may not "repo" the car, because you do not have a "security interest" and "security agreement" which gives you permission to do that.

Second: if the buyer "took the car" without paying, it could be a criminal offense (theft, theft by deception, etc) and you can file a police report and let them get it back for you.

Third: if the buyer simply didn't make the payments as agreed, and you don't have a repo right in your loan agreement, and they won't give the car back voluntarily, then you must seek permission of a court (judge) to request the local constable/sheriff/police to take the car back and return it to you as a breach of contract, or as fraud, or whatever your lawyer tells you your facts will support as a claim.

Attempting to "repo" a car without an agreement is called "self-help" and will get you arrested if not shot and sued. Of course, you have a counterclaim for the value of the car that was taken from you and any expenses it costs you to get it back.

Can they still put it on your credit report as a repo if you paid off the loan within 24 hours after they took the car in California?

They reported what happened (a repo). Yes!!!! You should have never let it get this far. Take care of your business. Unlike the repo guys who are perfect and never make a mistake we mere humans are mortal and do err from time to time so please bear with us ...painful as it is for you(of course most repo morons couldn't make it as auto wreckers so what does that tell you). Yes lenders will put a repo on your credit regardless of what they may tell you and it stays on.You can write a letter to the credit reporting agency and dispute it.
