Reposession of a car can be a problematic issue. Making payments on time is the most important and crucial step to avoiding repossession. Contacting the loan or lienholder to work out separate arrangements is often a good next step, as most loan holders will find it much easier to work out arrangements than go through the process of performing a repossession. Finally, while the legality of this action would be questionable, putting the car in the temporary possession of someone somewhat disconnected to the owner may provide some respite, as the repossession company would be unable to find the vehicle to repossess it, while the customer may make arrangements with the lienholder or loan holder.

What are the repercussions of an automobile repossession?
First off you will be required to pay the repossession fees unless you voluntarily turned the car in. Secondly you will be required to pay the deficiency. The deficiency is the difference in the amount the lender sells the car for and the amount you owe. Let's say you owe $10,000 and they sell the car for $8,000. That leaves you owing the lender $2,000. Thirdly this repossession will be placed on your credit report and will stay there for 7 years. Repossession should be the last resort after you have talked to the lender and done all you can to avoid this. Sell the car to another individual even if you have to sell it for less than it is worth, then pay the lender the deficiency out of your pocket to avoid repossession. Have someone take over the payments. Whatever it takes to avoid this.
