How do you save car from repossesion in legal department now?

How many days late can you be before your car can be repossessed?

It depends on where you are. Some states require that a default notice must be sent, and the borrower must be given at least 11 days to "make good' on the payment. Others don't require any notice at all, and theoretically a lienholder could repossess the vehicle the day after the payment was due.

No lender actually would do such a thing; repossession is a pain in the rear for them, too. But you can't count on 60 days, or 90 days, or whatever. The best thing to do if you know you're late on your payments is to talk to the lender; they're more likely to "cut you some slack" if you're communicating with them than if you appear to just be ignoring the fact that you're behind on your payments.

It's also a lot easier to negotiate with the bank before they've gone to the hassle of actually sending someone out to take the car back than it is afterward. By the time the car is repossessed, the lender has more or less given up on the hope of getting paid any other way.

If you park a car in a public storage garage and the space you rented is enclosed and locked - can the car be repossessed?

It depends on the contract you have with the storage garage. Some storage facilities require that property stored have no liens. Some state in their contracts that if a lienholder produces proper paperwork, they (the storage facilities) will allow them access to the liened property. In AZ, if you store property with a lien on it and refuse access to the lienholder, it is a felony ( ARS Title 13, Section 2204). But to simplify the answer, no, a repo company cannot pick, break or remove a lock to repossess a vehicle without a court order. They can open a gate if it is not locked. The Uniform Commercial Code states that when you sign the finance contract, you are authorizing the lienholder or it's agent (the repo company) to enter your property.

I live in IL and I can't afford my car payment any longer what will happen if I surrender the car back?

You will do what is called a Voluntary Reposession. Basically what this means is you have given the car back to the lending company on your own free will, HOWEVER, you are still liable to pay for the vehilce. Most places will attempt to sell the car for what the book value is, if you have negative equity (owe for than its worth) and they are unable to sell it for what you owe you may still have to pay the balance even after the car has been sold. Of course the biggest down fall to this is it still gets marked on your credit report as a default and reposession.

However, the creditor may not commit a "breach of the peace" by using physical force or threats of force. If this occurs, your creditor may be required to pay a penalty or compensate you for any harm done to you or your property.
