In the state of Wisconsin can a car company repossess your car without a written notification and contacting the police?
All repossessions in the state of Wisconsin must have a valid repossession order, however police notification is not necessary. If your vehicle has been recovered by the lienholder, you may not receive the repossession notification immediately.
What if your vehicle was repossessed but you never received a repossession letter what do you do?
Repossession letters are not required in every state. In some states, face to face notification of the repossession suffices, and when the driver came to hook up your car, if you had a conversation with him at all (even if it consisted of you yelling "Hey!" and him gesturing to you) you received notice.
Are the Lender of a repossession allowed to charge a storage fee and a repossession fee in the state of California?

If you live in one state but your bank is in another which state laws apply when dealing with a repossession?
Generally the laws of the state where the contract was signed take precedence. I disagree. If the car is registered in California and titled in California, and located in California, California law applies. The validity of the debt, late fees, and so on ARE determined by where the contract was signed, but California has specific laws on the procedure for repossession.

How much time does bank have to notify us that they have repossessed your car in New York?
Notification occurs within 24 hours, however this may be satisfied by the lender issuing notification that your vehicle is subject to repossession due to your default on the loan. In many cases, notification is done by next day delivery to the address where the vehicle was recovered (private residences) or to the home of record. In most New York state jurisdictions, it is necessary for repossession agents to notify law enforcement. This is as easy as contacting local dispatch and letting the operator know that a vehicle has been secured not stolen. This can also substitute for debtor notification, especially in situations of antagonistic debtors.
Can a repo man travel across state lines?
The short answer is Yes. However, Many state laws are different when it comes to "How" a Repossession must take place. Florida, Pennsylvania and California all require a state lisense. Other then that a Repossession order and a police report is all that is required. I live in pennsylvaia and repo Cars, Boats, Motorcycles and equipment in New Jersey, Delaware, New York and PA. I'm wondering why someone would ask such a question?
