Is there a maximum a facility in Virginia can charge for storage per day if you do not pick up your car when it is done?

== == YES, I don't remember what VA Bch is but I know they have a limit. This would be covered by the "mechanic's leins act " or a similar type state regulation that sets out the amounts that can be charged for vehicle storage. If you don't pay for the repairs and the storage costs, eventually the garage can auction off the car to get their money back. When you authorize the repairs to be done, on your car, you are entering into a "service contract " to pay for the repairs , or lose the car if you don't pay up when the repair work is completed.

What can you do if you are homeless and jobless but if you give your car up you will never find a job?

VERY good question. Very realistic. How much intestinal fortitude do you have?? The odds get MUCH worse after you give it all up. To be honest, not very many ever get back up after that happens. Life gets much simpler then. Where do I eat today? Where do I sleep tonite? Your appearance goes downhill fast. Some folks learn to pray more, some take other routes. You still have choices to make. Just fewer and more vital that you make the right one the first time. please do....... My suggestion is to hang onto the car as long as you can my friend....you are not a criminal and the police will not get involved. If you live in the car they will have a harder time repoing it.....good luck my friend next time do not finance buy outright it actually cheaper in the long run. Sound advice so far, but consider something. If the repo agent is hungry enough, he will get the vehicle. It is inevitable. If he doesn't the next repo agent will. And, then where will you be? Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

Can you ge in trouble for hiding your car until you get caught up on your payments in Indiana?

You're better off trying to work something out with the finance company. See, the thing of it is, it's not actually your car - it's the lienholders, and you entered a legal binding contract in which ownership of the car will be transferred to you once the lienholder's requirements are satisfied. Yes, they have every legal right to take that car back when you become delinquent on your payments, and you are preventing them from taking back property which is legally theirs. Yes, there can be legal and civil repercussions for that.The good news is that the lienholder would rather get the money than take the car back, but it's on you to contact them and work something out.
