What else can I help you with?
What if your car was repossessed due to lack of insurance yet was insured at time of repossession?
Vehicles cannot legally be "repossessed" due to a lack of insurance. Re-possession can occur only when there is a default in the payment contract and the original owner (the lender) recovers their property from the defaulter.
Can my vehicle be repossessed for no insurance?
It is not outside the realm of possibility; however, it would need to be a provision in the original sales contract. Since all of the US states require insurance of some sort on all vehicles, it is possible that a lender has written this in to the contract. It would protect their collateral in the event insurance lapsed.
What happens if they can't find the motorcycle to be repossessed?

My car was repossessed can i get the radio i purchased out of the car?
Maybe, if you have the original, but, it is ultimately up to the bank.
What happens when your truck is repossessed and both your name and your husband's name are on the title?
It may depend on your state. In Oklahoma, the vehicle (if not retrieved) will eventually be sold at auction, and the original contract holders (husband and wife in this case) will be responsible for any amount below "payoff".
Which contract takes precedence if two contracts have different dates?

If car is repossessed does the owner have to still pay original cost of car?
In most cases YES
Is a bilateral contract modification a contract?
It depends on whether both sides gave new consideration (something in exchange for something). If only one party did something different under the contract, then it is gratuitous and only the original contract is legitimate. If both parties offered something new to the contract then there is a new contract formed and the old contract is thrown out.
Can a car be repossessed because someone is borrowing it?
I wanted to add to my original question...Our car was repossessed by the finance company because they said they found out someone else was using the car because of car payments being sent from a different address. AND, they stated that they wanted to see the condition of the car. I thought a car would only be repossessed if you were late on payments? I have never heard of this, so I don't know what is going on.
Can your car be repossessed and sold without letting you negotiate an agreement?
As soon as you are out of compliance with the original contract, the bank is allowed to protect their interest in accordance with the original agreement. If that means repo and sell the car and that's in accordance with the original agreement, they are no doubt obeying the law. Many banks will work with you, but nothing requires that they do so. In a few US states an letter of "Right To Cure" must be sent to the borrower before repossession can occur, in the majority of states a vehicle can be repossessed under UCC laws. Wisconsin is the only state that requires a replevin order.
What specific clause, when signed by all parties to a sales contract, changes the original terms of the contract?
The specific clause that, when signed by all parties to a sales contract, changes the original terms of the contract is known as an amendment clause.
Are you still liable to pay if the vehicle is repossessed?
You are still responsible for the balance of the contract, in addition to repossession, collection, and legal fees. Added to this can be transportation costs, storage costs, auction fees. The car should be sold and the sale amount deducted from your contract balance. What ever is left is called a deficiency balance and your are still liable for it. Keep in mind that most repossessed vehicles are sold at a substantial loss (much less than for what is owed) and the additional fees can result in a higher balance than the original payout on the vehicle.
