Technically, your lien holder has the right to repossess anytime you don't meet the obligations you agreed to- which in this case is paying your car payment on the same date each month. Luckily, most financial institutions have a ten day grace period as far as auto loans are concerned. In my experience of counseling many people who are delinquent on their bills, no one has ever been repossessed in such a short time period. Typically, the lien holder will wait until the next billing cycle and send a statement with two payments due as well as a late fee. In this case, they are making out on the deal, assuming that this was a one time oversight or hardship. They usually get both payments as well as the late fee. However, when you let the payments slip further behind, then they will most definitely call to see whats going on. If they have already called after 6 days, it could be because you have never paid late before, and they want to give you a friendly reminder so you don't potentially hurt your credit. And with this call, most are really understanding and willing to work with you. As far as I know, no finance company can refure a partial payment either. So I would take a deep breath if I were you and make sure that you send the rest of the payment ASAP.

How do get your car back after a repossession?
If your car has been repossessed by the bank for missing payments, the quickest and most efficient way to retrieve your vehicle is to contact the bank and make your back payments. When contacting the bank about back payments see if there is a new payment plan system that you can set up with them that is more beneficial to you, to avoid having the car repossessed again.
how much time can go by before a car can be repo?
How long you can go before your car is repossessed depends on several things. Generally, as soon as you default on your note, your creditor can "repo" your vehicle. The definition of default may depend on your loan contract, but usually just missing one payment can qualify. It is best to communicate with your creditor before you miss a payment to work out other terms, and avoid having your vehicle taken from you.
If you don't pay my car payment can i be arrested?
You will end up having to go to court after awhile, you could claim bankruptcy and basically start over loosing most of the large items you have such as your car and home. But if bankruptcy isn't right for you, in the end your vehicle could be repossessed by the bank who owns the loan.
How do you negotiate with your lender before your vehicle is repossessed?
I can assure you the lender does not want to repossess your vehicle. He loses money by having to do this. Sit down with them and discuss how much you can afford to pay each month. Ask them to renegotiate the loan, to a lower interest rate and smaller monthly payment. Something you can live with. Tell them you want to meet your obligation and repossession is the very last thing you want to happen.
Can a bank demand payment in full on an auto loan if the vehicle was repossessed for no insurance?
Yes. A bank repossesses a vehicle for nonpayment. If your vehicle was taken for being on a public roadway and not having insurance, it was impounded. When a vehicle is impounded, a lien is placed on it by the agency which ordered the impound. The interests of government agencies override those of the bank, and they can sell your vehicle to recoup impound costs if you do not reclaim it within a specified period of time. In this case, the bank receives nothing from the sale, and you still owe the bank the remaining balance.

How does voluntary repossession work on an RV in NC?
Instead of having it forcibly repossessed, you call your finance company and tell them you're voluntarily having it repossessed. They may send a tow service to collect it, or they may ask you to take it to the repossessor. It'll be repossessed, auctioned off, and the amount they get from the auction will be deducted from the amount you owe. The finance company may offer a settlement at that point for an amount less than what you owe on that vehicle - that's up to the finance company.
