I have no idea how you find out on the internet. Here in NY, a repo man must, by law, immediately stop at a police dept. or sheriff's office and notify them of the repossession. The law enforcement agency then enters the repo. into the computer so it cannot be entered as stolen. I guess what I would recommend is that you contact the local police and tell them the story. Maybe stolen. Maybe repossessed. Let them figure it out. That's why we pay taxes, so they can do that stuff for us.
IF your nae was NOT on the paperwork, you may have a hard time finding out. If it IS, then call the lender and ask about YOUR car. Or call the PD where it was alledgedly stolen.
YOU are responsible for the debt that is secured by the "stolen" car. Be sure to make a police report on the 'stolen" car.
If you want to be charged with making a false report on top of losing your car. If it has been repossessed legally, you have no real claim on it and aren't supposed to find it. Pay what is owed on it and whoever has it must produce the car.
There are certain strict procedures that an automobile repossessor must follow when he is repossessing your car. The repossessor must notify the police that such vehicle is being repossessed, you did before or after the repossession has occurred. In either case, the police should know right away that the vehicle was repossessed. If this is not the case, then the vehicles like to have been stolen.
Call the police. Post pictures of the missing car on Facebook or on the internet.
The tow/repossession company has to notify the police of the repossession so the car can't be reported stolen..
The lender who holds the note on your car, is the one that repossessed your car.
Most police depertments require repo companies to report their tows, in order to avoid owners from reporting the car as stolen. You local police department should have the plate number on file as a repo.
You send them a certified letter demanding return of the car within 3 days. If no response, report it stolen.
