Read your contract. It will tell you what default is. "Default" in leasing is when a Lessee fails to satisfy the conditions of the lease contract. Thus the lessee materially breaches the lease, and also usually when the lessee passes beyond the point of being able to remedy the breach as specified in the contract. Or, more simply, when the Lessee fails to live up to the lease contract and thus the lessor may take actions. "Repossession" is when a lessor acts to take back whatever property was leased. Terms for repossession are usually spelled out in the lease contract. Many lease contracts provide that when a breach occurs and the lessee is in default, the lessor may act to repossess the leased property. So the default may lead to repossession. But it is essential to study your contract and secure sound legal advice from a competent attorney in your jurisdiction to answer, "Can they take X away if I don't make my payments?"

What happens if i can pay for my lease?

Er, then you can pay for it? ;) Seriously, though, since this was asked in category Repossession, I'm assuming that a notice of repossession has been sent out and/or the property has already been repossessed pusuant to a default or breach on a lease agreement. If whatever was leased was repossessed according to the terms of the lease or as the law allows, the Lessor would be under no obligation to re-lease or return the property just because you now have the money to satisfy the obligation. A breach for default effectively ends your lease. That said, your lessor may be willing to entertain continuing your lease or initiating a new lease. But that would be utterly at the lessor's discretion. If you have only received notice of repossession, your lease terms may still be active. A call to your lessor would clear up their position quickly. Either way, read your lease and pay close attention to what it says about default or breach of your lease, and especially if there are any time limits between breaching your lease and applying a remedy. It could turn out that your lease says something like you have 30 days following the breach to repair it before any action can be taken towards repossession.

How do you find the date the car was repoed?

By calling the original loan facility that was associated with the vehicle is one way to locate the repossession date. You can request that the original document of repossession be sent to you by way of fax or US mail (if you feel there is discrepancy). *Note* The time of default does not deem the time of repossession. Be sure to ask specifically for the actual repossession date and unfortunately you may have to clarify that you are not seeking the default date.
