The will sell the car (usually at auction) and if they sell the car for less than you owe, you will be responsible for the difference. The lender may take the issue to court and obtain a judgment for the balance owed. If this is not paid they may take further collection action with may include wage garnishment. The tow company used to repo the car will usually also attempt to collect their fees from the borrower.

What are your rights when it comes to a car that just has a payment for half of the remainder owed and the private party it was being bought from has repossessed it for personal reason?

If the repossession occurred in a state that does not permit self-help repossession, report the car stolen; it cannot be legally repossessed. Louisiana and Wisconsin are two of these states. If you can show legal possession of the vehicle, and on time payment, report the car stolen. It cannot be legally repossessed in any state unless the debt is delinquent. If you do not wish to involve LEO's immediately, contact the private party who "repossessed" the vehicle and explain that if it is not returned within a reasonable amount of time, that you will report the vehicle stolen and give his name as the party responsible. There is no legal "personal reason" for repossessing a vehicle.
