When a finance company stops receiving payments from a car owner, they will initially send out a default notice in order to state that the repayments have not been made. This will give you the opportunity to clear arrears and usually gives a time frame of 7 - 14 days to put things right.
If payments are still not made, the finance company will then apply for a repossession order from the courts so they can send bailiffs to repossess the car. The time frame for this process usually varies depending on the finance company, some will act quicker than others. You can expect the bailiffs to arrive at your door within a month from the expiry date of the default notice. The car will often be sold at auction at a knockdown price and the finance company will then pursue you in order to recover the difference.
It is always recommended to contact the finance company and not avoid them. They will often try to come to a resolution and repossessing the car is usually the last resort.

Yes, they can repo your vehicle if it is even one day late. Check your contract, though. It might tell you how long exactly you have.

However, if there is no guaranteed grace period, that probably means they can repo it anytime you default on your loan.
