What do you do if a lienholder has put a repossession on your credit report without retrieving the car with the damage already done to your credit?

First question is, was there a repo? Was the car NOT worth repoing? The lender doesnt have to retrieve the car on any certain day. You still have the option of paying off the loan.

Can a car that's repossessed be entered by towing company without authorization?
The order of repossession is their authorization to enter the car. If your car is being repossessed, it means there's a lien on it, and the lienholder called for the repossession to be carried out. You don't own the car - the lienholder does, until you pay off the lienholder and they relinquish the title to you. So yes, that tow company doing the repossession has every right to enter the vehicle they're repossessing.
If your car is going to be repossessed is it legal for you to sell it before the actual repossession?
Not without permission of the lender. A vehicle cannot be sold without a clear title of ownership. The lender is named on the title of a vehicle as the "lienholder" until the vehicle is paid for or otherwise released by the lienholder.

Can you legally repossess your car with a lien on the title?
That is the only way you can repossess a vehicle. Repossession comes under the UCC which grants a lienholder the right to repossess but only if they have perfected their lien by filing it on the title. One caveate is in most states the lienholder can not repossess a vehicle that is under a mechanic's lien without first paying that lien.
I have a car for 2 yrs now and is not fully paid but i want to return it will returning it affect my credit?
You can't just "return" a car. You can surrender it to the lienholder. This is called a voluntary repossession, and yes, it will affect your credit ... it's still a repossession, even though it was voluntary.What you could do without negatively affecting your credit is sell it or trade it in.

At what point can the sheriffs office assist in repossession?
The sheriff's office can't act without a court order. This is not especially difficult to obtain if the lienholder can show that the lessee (the person who obtained the loan for the property) has defaulted on the loan contract by not making their required payments. Once the judgment has been issued by the court, the lienholder can request the sheriff's office to assist in repossession. The sheriff's office may charge a fee for this service.Another View: Define "assist." If the SO receives a court order to "assist" in the repossession, that is what they will do. . . ASSIST. They will not physically remove the items by force of arms, or tow a vehicle, nor will they assist in hauling out the lienholders belongings, or the items referred to in the order.They will be present only to ensure that no breach of the peace takes place. PERIOD

What are the Laws in Texas about a Police helping in a repo?
If the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repossess the vehicle for nonpayment, 9 out of 10 times, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. No, Use of a Police Officer or Police involvement in self-help repossession introduces the state into a civil matter and provides the foundation for a wrongful repossession suit against the Secured Party, the repossession agent, the police officer and the police department.The authority to use Self-Help repossession is granted in the UCC 9-609 and Comment 3 of 9-609 specifically states "This section does not authorize a Secured Party who repossesses without judicial process to utilize the assistance of a law enforcement officer."Simply put if you want to use a police office to assist in a repossession you better go to court and obtain a Writ of Replevin/Sequestrian first.
