How much time do you have before your car is repossessed?
Depends on the contract you signed and the state that you live in. Some states require a 15 or 20 day Right to Cure letter be sent to the debtor prior to repossession and some states allow the vehicle to be repossessed the day after you miss your payment.
You cannot just "give" the vehicle back to them. If you cannot continue paying for the vehicle they will continue to threaten you trying to get their money back from you. When they see that it is hopeless they will repossess the vehicle and auction it off. I haven't read your contract, but probably you will be liable for the difference in what they get for the car and what was owed on it, which can be a substantial amount. If they cannot get you to pay this amount they will probably take you to court and get a judgment for the amount plus attorney fees and court costs. If you can't pay this they will garnish your wages, freeze your checking accounts, savings accounts, and generally tie up any monies they find out that you have. It can turn into a messy situation. I would suggest that you read up on consumer protection laws in your state and the federal statutes. This will tell you how they have to deal with you and what you can do to protect yourself.
Will filing bankruptcy affect your car insurance?
I have file for Chapter 7 twice and it has had no effect on my car insurance.
You might talk to a lawyer and settle it in small claims court.

Probably. Contact your lender while the loan payments are still current, and they'll be much friendlier and more cooperative. Don't wait until you're behind. Remember, they don't want to take your car, they want their money. Probably. Contact your lender while the loan payments are still current, and they'll be much friendlier and more cooperative.

Depends on your bank and what the history is with the loan. They have the option to make you pay the entire amount of the loan. They can also allow you to just bring the loan current along with any other fees to get it back.
Can a repo man enter your driveway and take the car if it has a gate?
Is your gate locked. Why not take care of this. If you are behind on the payments and don't correct this, they will eventually get the car. Call the lender and work something out. I can assure you the lender does not want to repo the car. They would much rather work this out with you. They just want the money back they loaned you to purchase the car. Let this car be repoed and your credit will be ruined for 7 years, and you will still have to pay the difference in what the lender sells the car for and the balance on the note, plus repo fees. A bad deal for the bank and for you. Sit down with them and work something out.
Can they garnish your paycheck or tax return for the remaining balance on your repoed van?
A creditor would have no authority regarding a tax refund. But they can file suit and if they win, receive a writ of judgment. They could then use the judgment as a wage garnishment according to the laws of the state where the debtor lives. Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Pennsylvania do not allow wage garnishment by creditors. All other states have established their own garnishment statutes, most follow the federal wage garnishment guidelines.
And that is three more screws than are necessary to consider it "attached". In fact, if it were just laying on the floorboard with wires to the stereo and speakers it would be attached.
Can a cosigner take the vehicle even if no payments are late?
NO! He is only guaranteeing the loan. He has no legal right to take the car.

yes, as co-signer you only guarantee the loan in case the primary defaults, they own the car.
Can your wages be garnished in the state of Oklahoma for a volitary repo?

How do you negotiate with a collection agency for the best deal?
The best thing you can do is put a little time between when the collection agency first contacted you and when you plan to pay. Don't do anything fast. Slow it down. They will get tired of calling and be willing to settle after 30 to 60 days have passed.
Can the repo man follow you around if they can't get in contact with you?
Yes. It's better to just stop and talk with the guy. He obvioulsy knows where you go, no sense in trying to hide. Well gollee Maam, if he knows where you are to follow you, he can get in contact with you.
Is it possible to repo a car yourself that was sold and payments were not completed?
ABSOLUTLY! As long as you hold the title and a detailed bill of sale the car still belongs to you until the transaction is finished. When you get the car home (NO VIOLENCE
Yes because the turn in on the lease will damage your credit and affect the loan rate on your car loan
Can the Bank go after the cosigner for a balance that was settled with them before a bankruptcy?
yes, unless the co-signer claims bankruptcy
If you are currently in Chapter 13 and you HAVE NOT signed a relief of stay, they cannot repo vehicle. If you signed a relief of stay for that vehicle loan, then get your stuff out and leave the keys in the ashtray.

If your car was repossessed after you filed bankruptcy What are your rights?
You have the right to call/visit your B/K attorney and have s/he explain your rights as you've paid them to do. Who knows your case and state laws better??? Say I can't afford an attorney (which I can't). Now what? Then you cant afford to file B/K, but if you do file pro se, you better do your homework. The failure rate for pro se B.K is rather HIGH due to mistakes and lack of knowledge. Unfortunately, this is NOT the place to find that info. Search on "Bankruptcy" for better results. Check the links to the right too.
It' all comes down to your insurance company paying for everything and if there is a lawsuit then you have to pay everyone involved back any monies paid to you.Ask me I know I just finish paying all the dr's and insurance companies and a Lawyer. I ended up with squat.
How can you get your car back after it has been repossessed?
Contact the lender and make up all the past due payments plus the repossession fees.
Answer:You can contact the lender, or you can contact the repossessing agency. If you contact the lender, they may allow you to make a payment arrangement. Your payments may be less or could be more than you believe you owe. When the lender contracted the repossession agency, there were fees involved. These fees will be transfered to you. The lender, however, is in most cases not as aware of the fees as they should be; they are focused on the principle and interest of the original contract. If you move quickly, the repo agency has not billed the lender for these repossession fees. If the repossession company acted in a less than legal manner, you may not have to pay these fees. The most common offense is for the repo agents to make contact after 9:00 PM; this is a violation of the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act). If the repo agency violated any of the provisions of the Act, contact the lender and demand your vehicle be returned or you will file suit in federal court and list them as a defendant. They are as liable as the agency they contracted with, and the vehicle will have been "wrongfully repossessed."Keep in mind, the lender does not want the car; they only took the car to cover the past due amount. If they keep the car, you will still owe on the loan, and legal action is not far behind.
