Most repossession laws are vertually identical, except for small variations, the law in the U.K. is, if you have not got in writing from the repossession company that when you hand back the car, that this will be "In full and final settlement" they can come after the leasee/garauntor for the short fall. But, if the garauntor has not secured his property against the lease/loan the repossessor has to start a small claims against the leasee and then to the garauntor, at this point the judges do not favour the repossessor. In any instance as far as i am aware you must always try to deal directly with the repossessor,(who will try to put his/her charges on top)and get a settlement figure from them in writing, DO NOT accept a telephone answer as this will give you no chance of proof if they decide to take you to court. At the end of the day they only want to get there money, but bare in mind that at some point you or the leasee paid a deposit to get the lease and must have made some payment before the repossession started to take place, this must be deducted before the repossessor puts his/her charges on to the final settlement. Again, the judge will not favour the repossessor if you are in financial difficulty and have made every effort to avoid court action.

When a vehicle gets repossessed it either goes back to the dealer who leased it, or, and more commonly, it is auctioned by the reclamation company. You would need to attend one of these auctions to be able to bid on one, and even then, a lot of times you have to be a licensed dealer to participate. Check on the local regulations and restrictions on the auto auctions in your area.

In Tennessee is it better to get the car back or let the dealership have it?

The dealership is not involved unless the vehicle is leased. If the dealership has repossessed a leased vehicle, it is gone; you will not get it back. If the vehicle was being purchased by loan and the lender has repossessed it, you may get it back, but you have to balance what you would owe against what you do owe. To recover a repossessed vehicle, you may have to pay the following fees: * Past due balance * Any late fees associated with the delinquency * Repossession fees * Storage fees * Legal fees * Court costs * Recovery fees (the cost associated with processing the paperwork to return the vehicle to you). However, if you do not retake possession of the vehicle, you will still be responsible for most of these additional costs, and you will have nothing to show for it.
