It would depend on the contract you signed when you purchased the car.
NOT EASY!!! THEY DON'T CARE!!! IT'S STILL A REPOSESSION NO MATTER WHAT!!! VONUNTARY IT IS BY YOU BUT TO OTHER CREDITORS, IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL. WHEN THEY LOOK AT YOUR CREDIT REPORT, THEY WILL ASSUME IT WAS REPOED AND YOUR CREDIT RATING IS SHOT TO HELL.... TRY TO SELL THE CAR. HIDE IT, UNTIL YOU CAN SELL IT AND PAY THE LOAN OFF. REFINACE IT IF YOU CAN, ASAP......
Where can a car salesman find a sample repossession letter in order to repo some cars?
"Car salesmen don't repo cars."
That is the dumbest thing I ever heard.
Time Finance Adjusters has a sample repo form on the site somewhere. Also, you should have the debtors name, a personal identifier just in case the police are involved such as the drivers license, social and date of birth. Also there should be a top section where you assign it TO a specific company or person to repossess.

Can you get your vehicle back after it has been repossessed?
Yes, you can. Alot of times they will work with you. They don't want your car, just your money!:)
Who is responsible for damage to another person's car on your property?
Obviously the person who caused the damage is responsible. If I thought my neighbor's homeowner's insurance would pay for my car if it is wrecked on his property, I'd drive it right into the side of his house!
Can a co-owner take a car from the co-signer?
A cosigner has no legal rights to a vehicle unless his or her name is on the title. If the cosigner's name appears on the vehicle title then he or she is also a co-owner of said vehicle and any dispute in possession and ownership may need to be decided through legal procedures.
If your car is repossessed and your wages are garnished can the company you work for fire you?
Yes, you can be terminated from a job for any justifiable reason. The repossession and garnishment are YOUR problems, not your employer's. * No, it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee because of his or her wages being garnished. Unfortunately, it is usually not difficult for an employer to come up with a plausible reason to discharge an employee in order to circumvent discriminatory practice laws.
Yes unless responsibilty for certain debt is clearly stated in your divorce papers. If her name is on the loan as co-signor then yes she would be responsible.
How long does a person have to redeem a vehicle that has been repossessed?
I think you have like 10 ir 15 days, they have to send you a notice stating when the car will be sent to auction and what date time and place the auction will be, you have until the day before the auction to pay the amount they are demanding. Keep in mind though the sooner you pay the more you save, because they have the right to move the vehicle to another location at any time, which might incur more charges.
There is no statute of limitations on debt. You are responsible for the difference of what the car sold for at auction. You should get the advice of a lawyer just to be sure of your rights, there may be loop holes that the common citizen doesn't know. A lawyer typically charges a small fee for advice, some will give you a free consultation.
No. It only affects the lender ability to get paid if the primary borrower defaults.
If your spouse's car was repossessed can you make payments to get it back?
Yes. And that will help out their credit history too:)

Is it against the law to hide your car from being repossessed?
In most locations, yes.
However, generally it must be proved that you intended to conceal (the usual word) the asset. Keeping it in your locked garage is usually not regarded as "concealment". Keeping it at your fourth cousin's garage out of state probably is.
It's extremely likely that any effective attempt to prevent your car from being repossessed means you lose the use of it anyway, so there's ultimately not much point in doing so, particularly since the lender is generally allowed to charge you for the cost of the repossession... you're just building up more debt. Even if what you're doing is not strictly speaking illegal, about the only logical reason to do it is if you know that you'll be able to pay off the debt in full in a short time and want to keep the car from being repossessed before you can do so.
Where can you find a sample of a Right To Cure letter?
The question does not indicate if the action is to be on the part of the creditor/lender or the borrower/debtor. Nevertheless, there are not generic forms for a Right To Cure notification. Individual states establish the procedure and therefore information included in the correspondence must be in conjunction with the laws of the person's state of residency.
so is there special wording in the forms?
15 days to respond to letter
letter is from lender to debtor
Can the repo men hook up your car with you in it?
No, it's illegal to ride in a towed vehicle. However, if you're getting into the vehicle to prohibit the car from being towed, you could find yourself in trouble with the law. Once the car is on a repo list, it's no longer technically yours due to default on payments.
talk with the ones who repossesd it to change there remark, try to make a deal,like promise to pay out early,pay on time for a period of time,what ever it is get it in writing for evidence
What are the chances of getting a new car loan after a repossession?
it depends on how long the repo and you interest rate will be real high
Go to the lending institution, explain the situation and offer to take care of the remaining part of the debt. Banks don't like to be left with a loss when they repo a vehicle and the auction sales price does not cover the loan amount. Sometimes you can demonstrate your responsibility if you take care of their loss or even a part of it. Remember that you were the loan underwriter and as such you are responsible for the loan if the primary borrower failed to pay. That is the sad part of cosigning, the cosigners often get stuck with the remainder of a bad debt. Paying it off is often your only option if you want to protect your credit. You'll have to give them something if they are to be motivated to NOT file against your credit. I agree with the previous, but if your question is do you have the right to...something (I guess getting the car back?)...because you say the lender didn't inform you of primarys default. Probably not. As above notes, your the cosigner and it's your responsibility. Albeit the loan may have certain "rights to correct" terms. But what exactly would you want (that is possible)...compensation because the one you cosigned for defaulted? More than that I'll wager the bank attempted to contact you. Are you sure the address/phone on the paperwork for you isn't the same as the primary, who may have not wanted you to know what the bank was calling about?
When a car gets repossessed can they keep the personal property that was in the car?
If you take your personal property before the vehicle is picked up, you can keep it. If you voluntarily turn in the vehicle you get to keep anything you want. If they have to hunt it down and tow it off, you're just out of luck. They'll throw away anything that was in it and if someone picks it up, it's theirs.
This is not true.. The creditor must account for all personal belongings found in a repossessed car.. The below answer came from the following site... http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/searches/repossession.html
"What happens to personal property left in my car?
Personal property does not apply to improvements made to the car, such as a CD Player, stereo or luggage rack. It only applies to items not connected to the vehicle. The creditor or whoever repossessed the car CANNOT keep or sell any personal property found inside. If the creditor or whoever repossessed the car cannot account for personal property left in the vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation and should consult with an attorney"
That would be a nice scam, but the reality is, you're the one who has injured the lending institution. If you want, you can save yourself some money and have it towed to the lot of the lending institution's choosing. Call them and ask where they want it, then pay to have it hauled off. You'll pay for it in the long run, after they sell it at mortgage they won't be able to get what it's worth then you'll be billed for the difference plus the fees associated with hauling it away.
Presuming there is no agreement between that specifies something like this, you probably have no grounds of any type to get possession. Certainly not repo. I'm not sure there is any type of default at all for you to act on in any case. The lender requires that there be insurance - he may have a cause of action like repo - (although he'll probably just buy it for you, which he is allowed to do and charge it against the loan). Moreover, as I understand it, you say you co own and coborrowed the vehicle - as if you both have equal everything. I gather you have insurance for yourself and on the vehicle and correctly identified all drivers having access to the car, as required by the application for the policy? So why wouldn't that insurance also cover any driver of the car?
