When they send the letter, it's ten days from the time the letter was drafted. As for when they can repossess legally, that's a matter of your contract, and the laws of your state. Repossession agents and creditors stay pretty up-to-date on legal issues, and if they've repossessed your car, it's probable that they did it in a timeframe where it was legal for them to do so.
In Florida, they have to send you a demand letter, once that demand letter expired(30 days) and you didn't contact the the bank to make payment arrangements, they assigned your loan/car for repossession.
Legally, ONE.Actual practice?? 3-60
is it true that a dealer have to hold a car for twenty one days before they can sell it after it has been repossed
technically, you have 20 business days to pay the balance owed plus all fees that were incurred during repossession.
Dunno. What state are you in? That could make a big difference. UCC only says they have to do it in a "commercially reasonable manner". I'm in South Carolina
READ your CONTRACT. IF the contract is in DEFAULT, the collateral CAN be repossessed.
You send them a certified letter demanding return of the car within 3 days. If no response, report it stolen.
10 days
Yes
Absolutely.
One Kansas attorney says 20 days and another says 10 days.
legally, you only have to be behind one day. Usually a lender will try to work wityh you for 30-60 days to let you catch up. They dont want the car, they want the money. HEY GUYS TRY WWW.STOPTHEREPOMAN.COM TO KEEP FROM LETTING YOUR CAR BE REPOSSESSED
