When would a house be in danger of repossession?

Typically, a house can be repossessed after 90 days of non payment by the mortgage holder. However, it is not illegal for repossession to begin after a missed payment, though this is extremely rare.


If your loan is not 30 days over due and you have the money to pay the payment can the bank refuse your payment?

Yes. When a contract becomes defaulted, the lender does not have to accept payments or futher negotiate with the borrower unless they choose to. Most lenders will try to work with the borrower rather than resort to the expensive process of repossession or legal actions.


What happens if you can't make your first payment on a car loan?

You have to pay for it later. If you proceed to not pay them, the loans will build up. The same thing that will happen if you go 60 days with no payment on any of the loan payments, eventually they will repo you car. If you can't make the full payment, SEND SOMETHING. You can thing petition the court at a later day to prevent repossession (called an injunction) by proving you have done everything in your ability to pay for it. The company will also cut you a little more slack. Make sure you pay you loans, it will destroy your credit if you don't.


Is it better to have a repossession or delinquent payments on your credit report?

Although late payments (especially those over 60 days delequint) will have a strong negative effect on your score much like a repossession, the repossession will have a more severe, long-term negative effect than a late payment. Late payments dilute themselves relatively quickly as time passes - an initial 30 day late will hurt your score by about 50 points, but after a year this will diminish to about half, and will continue to do so over time, whereas a repossession's effects will take many more years to diminish. Also keep in mind that in the future, whenever you wish to purchase a new or used car on credit, you will have to disclose your repossession to the dealer. This may hinder your ability to attain such credit. If you feel you are unable to make a scheduled payment on your automobile, call your creditor and see if you can arrange a new payment plan. Repossession is a costly procedure and creditors would like to avoid it if at all possible. Communication is key - it never hurts to ask for assistance. Hope this helps!

Is it against the law to repo someones car if there barely a day late?

This might help you to visualize this better.Let's say the car payment was due on the 10th of the month. At midnight, you still have not made that payment, and at 12:01 am on the 11th, the repossession agent hooks up to your car in your driveway and drives away. No, it is not against the law, PROVIDED:The lender has contracted the agent to recover the vehicle.The lender has provided a legal order of repossession.And, the repossession agent has followed the repossession and collection laws of the US and the state.It is not likely that this would occur though. The logistics of the situation take time. This is part of the reason most lenders have a five to ten day grace period.The more likely scenario is that the payment was due on the 10th, was not paid, the five day grace has come, and the payment has not been made. During the five days since the 10th, the lender has contacted the repossession agency, has sent them an order for repossession (electronically), the account has been entered into the repossession agencies system, the account has been assigned to an agent, and at 12:01 am on the 16th, the repossession agent secured the car in your driveway and affected recovery.Your car being repossessed is not the fault of the lender or the repossession agency in most cases. In the majority of cases it is the fault of the borrower, either from personal failure or unforeseen circumstance.
