Best Answer

Yes. They can file criminal charges since they are the direct owner of the vehicle since you have defaulted on the loan. When you are in repossession status, you really need to not run from them because they have the power to add your VIN number to the police and report as stolen. You do not want to runaway from the lien holder if you are in default. This can lead to Auto Theft or Grand Theft Auto depending on how much the car is worth

Both are at least Class C and B Offenses in most states. So I suggest you return the car ASAP to avoid of getting charged.

How long after a missed car payment does the finance company repossess the vehicle?

The question is, "Why would you worry about a missed payment when you have interest in the vehicle?" The money that you used as your down payment and any payments you have made total your interest in the vehicle. Why are people running from the repo man when in fact you can place the finance company on notice that, if your interest is repossessed, you will file criminal charges in federal court against the finance company and get triple what the car is worth. I guarantee you they won't take it. You can also put a mechanics lien on the vehicle to protect your interest in it.
