It depends almost entirely on who owns the lien and what state you're in.
Credit lots tend to try to move quickly on them vs. local banks might not want to hassle with it.
In general the only thing required is a letter of intent to repossess, whether you respond or not is irrelevant.
Legally, your car could be reposessed after one missed payment. The terms of your contract cover default. Most will not repo your car after just one missed payment, but they could. I would certainly suggest attempting to work something out with the bank.
No, until you have missed a scheduled payment (at the very least), the lender has no right to the property.
I missed my payment on my jeep and they repoed my other car. Can they do that
no
You will have to speak with your finance company to determine when they will repossess your car. Each company has different rules and requirements and in most cases if you contact them about the missed payment they may be able to make payment arrangements with you.
A lapse in your auto insurance is a time period for which you had or have no coverage. Either your policy expired and was not renewed on schedule meaning you missed your renewal payment or you missed a monthly payment and the policy was cancelled.
Yes.
When you asked for a missed payment to be added to the end of the loan, it's called a Forbearance.
Well, if you are under 18, he can certainly take away your keys.
Take your papers down to the dealership and discuss it. Unless they picked up the wrong car, it is likely you missed a payment or so.
They will try to follow you. They can get the car without you there. They are not allowed into your home. They can't physically hurt you to get the car, and they can't make you get out of a car, if the car is stolen, they will put a report in with the police and when they run the tags it will come back as stolen. If you just missed one payment, chances are if you called and talked to them, they won't come after you.
It's almost unheard of for a car to be Repo'd because of one missed payment or bounced check, there has to be a history of non or late payment in order for them to take the car.
