How is a car repossessed?

I just had a car repossessed a few months ago. But it was a voluntary repossession, I called them and told them I wasn't going to be able to pay anymore and that i was doing a voluntary reposession. It's not any better than a normal repossession except that you're telling them to come and get it. My friend, however, had hers repossessed, they basically just came and took it one day, she hadn't paid her car note for 3 months. And yes they have every right to do it. It sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it. They will most likely auction the car (this is what happened with mine), and then whatever they get for it will be subtracted from your balance, and you will have to pay the difference if anything is left unpaid. Some places will work with you and set up a payment plan with no interest for you to pay the balance. That is what I am doing now. And usually there is quite a balance, if you were upside down or haven't made many payments on it. The reason for this is that they sell the vehicles for cheap. That's about all I know, the bank told me that it will be on my credit for 7 years. Longer if i don't pay them. Hope that helps!

Can I repossess a car I co-signed for?

No. You need a court order.

If you agreed to obtain the car loan you should have placed your name as co-owner on the title. Since you are not on the title you cannot take possession of the car. Since you ARE responsible for the car loan you must keep the car payments current. You need to take the matter to court to request the car be retitled in your name.

There is a more serious problem lurking. You need to make sure the insurance is current and that the car is fully insured. If the legal owner has allowed the insurance to lapse or does not have full coverage you will still be responsible for repayment of the loan if the car is wrecked. That situation arises frequently in cases like this one with individuals who are not responsible enough to make car payments. If they can't make the car payments then it usually follows that they cannot make insurance payments either.

You need to get before a judge ASAP in order to get that car out of the possession of the legal "owner". Make certain you make the loan payments and that you have written proof that you are making them. You must bring that proof of payment to court as well as proof that you obtained the loan to pay for the car. If you find that the insurance has lapsed you should try to obtain proof of that also.

Your dad passed away he owes money on his car?

In this situation (at least in california), if the RO (registered owner) (or the cosigner) dies and still owes on the loan the vehicle will be repossessed because the title to the vehicle cannot be legally transfered to another family member. The loan is only for one person. My girlfriends mother cosigned on the loan to the car, and being that the mother is old, i told my girl to make sure that at any time she might have to pay off the vehicle. If the RO dies, pay the car off as soon as possible, before the Finance company finds out. As a repossessor , usually people in this situation arent sure what their rights are. Sometimes people will continue to pay on the loan, but in time, the finance company will find out. THis usually happens when a 3rd party will insure the vehicle in their name, or if an accident happens, etc. Check your states law though, because they are all different.
