What is Arkansas law for returning a newly purchased vehicle?

My 18 year old daughter bought a programs 2010 vehicle from a AR dealer with me as a cosigner. First payment due on 7-29-11 and she has the money for that payment however she just submitted her college schedule to her job wherein they told her they would see what they could do but no promisses. I have been taken off work due to health issues so this vehicle payment may get rough for anyone. Is there any clause in a law that states she can return the vehicle now?


Can a car be taken if it is still being paid on but is one payment behind?

If one payment is missed, the vehicle is subject to repossession. That is probably in the fine print that most people ignore or fail to read in a written contract. Missing one payment is interpreted by the lender that you no longer want the car, and they will start the proceedings to recover "their" car. Don't forget, it's not "your" car until it is fully paid for ... the lending institution is the "owner" of the car and if someone skips payments, they will just reclaim what they already own.


How long before a lease is reposessed?

Repossessions can be as quick as 30 days after a delinquent payment. It is up to the owner of the vehicle, in your case the financial institution, or automobile dealership how much leniency they are willing to offer you in making a payment. If you fail to stay current on your lease terms you will receive mail letting you know that you must surrender the vehicle. If you do not surrender to vehicle, the owner and and will take legal recourse - you can count on the local law enforcement knocking at your door any time day or night. They may even remove the vehicle from it's location, with out you even being there. They watch your habits, and know your schedule before the collateral is taken back from you. Say good bye to your credit, if this is the road you plan to travel. I do not advise holding onto anything you have borrowed longer than is stated in the lease agreement.
