The first and most effective thing you can do is to report Fraud on your account, and have your account number changed; If the "pre-auth" was made to a Debit or Credit card attached to your account, this is even easier: you report your debit/credit card as lost/stolen and get a new one.
once you do this, it doesn't matter how many times the company tries to put through a payment, pre-authorized or not, because there is a STOP on that particular card. In the case of your account number being changed- they cannot put any payment through on a closed account. Changing your account numbers is a little more difficult, but if you claim that a checkbook was stolen they will usually change the account number for you (basically opening a new account). They should do this since your account information is on the checks, and anyone who has stolen them can setup "pre-authorized" payments to your account.

By taking delivery of this vehicle you are agreeing to the terms of the contract. If you could not meet the down payment requirement then you should have never taken delivery. You can try talking to them to work out a payment plan of some sort.

I can't say for sure but according to my research the most likely candidate is Preauthorized electronic transfer. Check the payment again and see if you have set this up at your bank or online for a preauthroized fund transfer.

Can a vehicle be repossessed just one day after the payment is due?
Absolutely, and it's probably in your contract. Once the due date for payment has passed, the car belongs to the dealership. It depends upon whether the laws of the state where the vehicle was purchased allow judicial and/or non judicial repossession of secured property. If your contract states "no grace period" then the car is "ripe" for Repossession. In some States there is a semi-lengthy Repo process that may buy you some time but if the necessary payment is not made by Closing Time of the Dealership on said day, the car CAN be repossessed THAT night. I base this on Georgia Law. Y-THINK-Y
