What do you do if the finance company threatened to take your car because you were having trouble with payments but now you're ready to give the car back but they don't want to take it?

You cannot just "give" the vehicle back to them. If you cannot continue paying for the vehicle they will continue to threaten you trying to get their money back from you. When they see that it is hopeless they will repossess the vehicle and auction it off. I haven't read your contract, but probably you will be liable for the difference in what they get for the car and what was owed on it, which can be a substantial amount. If they cannot get you to pay this amount they will probably take you to court and get a judgment for the amount plus attorney fees and court costs. If you can't pay this they will garnish your wages, freeze your checking accounts, savings accounts, and generally tie up any monies they find out that you have. It can turn into a messy situation. I would suggest that you read up on consumer protection laws in your state and the federal statutes. This will tell you how they have to deal with you and what you can do to protect yourself.

Can you cash a check written to you by your insurance company for a car that was totaled but still has remaining payments on it to a finance company?
Sure you can, but you're still responsible for paying off the loan to the finance company. If the check will cover the pay-off, give it to the finance company. If it doesn't, give it to them, anyway. It'll reduce your debt by that much.

In California does a finance company have the right to repo a car from a police impound when payments are not behind?
No, They would have to be behind on the car payment The above is not always the case. It can depend on what the car was impounded for. If it was impounded for something like drugs where asset forfeiture comes into play then yes the finance company can take the car regardless of payment status. The reason for this is because there are times when the authorities will tell the finance company that if the vehicle is returned to the registered owner the finance company will lose their rights to it as well. The finance company does not have to hand their collateral back to you if it means loss of collateral, it is their car after all.
How many more payments do you have?
You will have to call the finance company about yours. We had a Mortgage burning party at my place a few years ago.
How do you get a car back from repo?
