As soon as you default on your loan terms, the authorization to repossess can go to a repo man. This is why it's important to remain in contact with your bank/car lot. If you are having financial trouble, call them to tell them what's going on; they can usually set something up to help you. Usually an order to repossess won't go out until you are three months behind--but this is with banks. Small car lots (buy-here-pay-here lots) can and will send out the repo order much sooner. If you are required to have auto insurance and drop it, the repo order usually goes out the next day.

You can surrender the vehicle in a Chapter 7, where the creditor has no choice.
