Check your loan contract, but in most cases (99.99%) if the payment does not represent the total past due amount, or if you do not have arrangements with the lender setting asside repossession actions in lieu of payment arrangements, no; one payment toward a past due balance will not stop or delay repossession of the vehicle.

Is it better to have a repossession or delinquent payments on your credit report?

Although late payments (especially those over 60 days delequint) will have a strong negative effect on your score much like a repossession, the repossession will have a more severe, long-term negative effect than a late payment. Late payments dilute themselves relatively quickly as time passes - an initial 30 day late will hurt your score by about 50 points, but after a year this will diminish to about half, and will continue to do so over time, whereas a repossession's effects will take many more years to diminish. Also keep in mind that in the future, whenever you wish to purchase a new or used car on credit, you will have to disclose your repossession to the dealer. This may hinder your ability to attain such credit. If you feel you are unable to make a scheduled payment on your automobile, call your creditor and see if you can arrange a new payment plan. Repossession is a costly procedure and creditors would like to avoid it if at all possible. Communication is key - it never hurts to ask for assistance. Hope this helps!


How far behind do the payments have to be before the lender can start repossession?

READ your contract. When you are in DEFAULT, they can repo.
