You could check the want ads in your local paper. Many people find running vehicles on sites such as Craig's List. Still more people find them sitting for sale in yards and at the sides of roads. You are probably going to have to pay cash. The likelihood of you getting a loan for a reasonable rate any time soon is limited.
And?
I am presently two months in arears in payments to the bank. I am presently looking for work with fairly good prospects How can I prevent reposession of my vehicle which is critical in persuing job search?
reposession
Call the police, file a stolen vehicle report(I would think that would be common sense). If you're willing to spend more money to find the vehicle, after reporting it to the police, you can attempt to hire a reposession company to search for the car provided you have some idea where the car is.
You will not be able to using credit, but if you have the cash you could go into a shop and buy one.
habeas corpus
No. Only when the vehicle is repossessed and always once the licence plates are turned in.
Often, the law is vague on this, and the reaction may come down to the disposition of the police department. However, it could be potentially seen as kidnapping.
The bill is due immediately after the finance company sells the vehicle and totals the cost of reposession.
It depends on the local state laws. Most of the time, nothing unless the repo agent finds it or the court issues an order for the person release the vehicle to the agent.
They might be able to garnish your payments for the money that you owe them , but nothing more since vehicle has been repossessed.
A vehicle can be repossessed any time of the day, and generally any day of the week. Some banks limit certain holidays.
