they are different if you finance than when you lease. when you lease and get behind on your payments (usually 3 months) the bank will ask you to either catch up with your payment or they will send a bailif (civil enforcment-sherriff's department most likely) to get the car from you but he can't breach the peace for example if you start arguing with him and say he can not take the car then they have to file a civil claim and with court judgment they can enforce it. but if you give up the car you will be liable for the rest of the payments that you signed in the contract. if you finance it's the same thing they can only enforce it with a court order or take the vehicle only if you agree and comply but only between 6am and 10pm and without breaching the peace. once the vehicle is reposessed you're NOT going to be sued for the difference once they have the car you are cleared from the loan. you will gat a paper saying that once the car is reposessed the claim against you is satisfied and you're all free! please ask if you have any questions i just went through repo couple weeks ago and i know all the laws and procedures (I've been driving my car for 8 months before they found me)
