Answer No, i am 2 1/2 months behind and they still havent picked it up. Im struggling to pay it before they have to repo the vehicle but if you are one day late you are fine just dont be late for too long or you are in a situation like me.

This is not true. The bank is giving more lead way than they are required in most states because they would rather get your money. Once the unit is repossessed, there are a lot of fees before it is auctioned off, and it's likely a customer will not pay those fees (even though they are liable for them) if they don't have a car, especially if they didn't pay for the car when they had the car in the first place. Most states can repo after one day past due. Most banks won't though. several states require a "Cure Letter". It basically says you have so long to pay the car current or the bank reserves the right to repo. Some states only have to have one or two of these sent a year or for the life of the loan and they don't have to send anymore after that. Texas requires a cure letter that allows 10 days to pay current. Then an acceleration letter that says the entire loan is due with in 2 days or they can repo. Louisiana requires you sue the person for the car. Wisconsin used to but no longer requires the customer to be sued. I worked legal, repo and collections for General Motors Financial for nearly 8 years and also worked for a repo company as a spotter car driver. I assisted in repo's as well...
YES.
Under Texas law, a vehicle may be repossessed even if payment was only late for 10 days. This means that is payment was due on the first day of the month, and payment has not been settled on the tenth, then, vehicle will be repossessed on the eleventh.
Call the lender, and make some kind of arrangements. Do not let your car get repossessed. You will be responsible for the balance on the loan. no
The lender can legally take the vehicle one day after the payment is due. That is, on the day the payment is late, the lender can begin repossession efforts. The day the payment is late, the contract is void.
Yes Usually they allow a grace period for an arears payment, but they do not have to.
Theoretically, a car can be repossessed after 1 day of being late with payments. In practice, most banks don't take action until 60 or 90 days.
In California your car can be taken 1 second after midnight the day after your payment is due. If you do not comply with one of the requirements of the loan, things like insurance and the like, the car can be taken with out notice.
Technically the car can be repossessed when your loan becomes 30 days late. The industry standard is to start looking for the car after 90 days. This is for large banks. If you purchase a car at a 'buy here pay here' lot, they WILL take the car on the 31'st day.
YES, they can and DO. Read your contract about the re-instating part. Was this your 2nd repo?
Depends on the contract you signed and the state that you live in. Some states require a 15 or 20 day Right to Cure letter be sent to the debtor prior to repossession and some states allow the vehicle to be repossessed the day after you miss your payment.
When you are late on your payment for a credit card, car loan, mortgage, etc... these "creditors" can report this late payment to the credit bureau that they have a relationship with (either Trans Union, Experian, or Equifax).These credit bureaus in turn stick it on your credit report which negatively affects your credit score.There are30 day late payment items,60 day late payment items,and 90 day late payment items.Many people remove these items by disputing them with the credit bureau (the credit bureau then has 30 days to go back to the creditor to verify the late payment). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
get it back?? prolly, depends on your payment record,ect. They really dont want the car, they want the MONEY. How long?? a day or two
