Is there a law in California that prevents creditors from auctioning a repossessed car for less than a reasonable price?

The Uniform Commercial Code in every state requires only the lender to sell "in a commercially reasonable manner". That's all. There is where the conflict arises on the selling price. A debtor who buys a car for $5000.00 more than it is worth is often heartbroken when s/he still owes $8000.00 after it is sold at auction to a WHOLESALER.

If you cosigned a car loan for your daughter and the car got repossessed do you both have to file for bankruptcy?
Having a car or other item repossessed does not mean anyone has to file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is to protect you from creditors and should be sought if you owe more than your net worth and have no reasonable prospect of being able to pay what you owe.
If your car is about to be repossessed is it too late to make your account current with the creditors?
No, it is probably not too late. It certainly will help your credit either way. Call them immediately. Do not allow it to be repossessed if at all possible.
If the creditors repossessed a motorcycle and then DID NOT sell it at an auction do you still owe?
No you don't still owe; once the motorcycle has been repossessed, it is no longer your concern. Whether the creditor sells it or fails to sell it is the creditor's problem, not yours.

What do I do with a car that was voluntarily repossessed and the finance company won't come and get it?
While most creditors will allow you to have your vehicle voluntarily repossessed, some lenders will not accept them. Your best resolution in this case is to contact the finance company and determine why they will not collect the vehicle. Ensure that they are indeed accepting the voluntary repossession. You will still be required to pay the remaining balance unless you are told otherwise.

Can your car be legally repossessed in 4 days they gave you a letter saying you had 10 days?
When they send the letter, it's ten days from the time the letter was drafted. As for when they can repossess legally, that's a matter of your contract, and the laws of your state. Repossession agents and creditors stay pretty up-to-date on legal issues, and if they've repossessed your car, it's probable that they did it in a timeframe where it was legal for them to do so.
Your car was repossessed years ago and you don't have info on the auction sale and how much it was sold for are you allowed a copy of that information from the creditors?
Yes The lender has to provide you with this info.You should demand it from them. The lender is required to provide this only if requested in writing by the debtor.
Can creditors garnish your wages or take your house in California?
Yes. California allows income garnishment by judgment creditors. The law also allows a judgment creditor to place a lien on real property owned by the judgment debtor. Generally the homestead exemption will protect a primary residence from a forced sale for debt owed. Judgment creditors rarely request a forced sale of a primary residence because it is a complicated and lengthy process and is seldom profitable enough for implementation.
