What Is Repossession?

Repossession is a process in which the lender takes back a vehicle that is owned by a person who has failed to make payments. The lender will hire a company that specializes in repossessing vehicles. These companies are often referred to as repossession agencies.

The repossession agency should send the vehicle owner a letter that notifies them of the missed payments and the date on which the vehicle will be repossessed. The vehicle owner has the opportunity to make arrangements with the lender to make payments and avoid repossession.

If a vehicle owner fails to make arrangements with the lender, the vehicle will be repossessed. When this happens, the vehicle owner should receive another letter from the lender. The letter will also include information on how to get the vehicle back. The vehicle owner has a certain number of days to get the vehicle back from the repossession agency.

If the owner fails to get the vehicle back from the agency within the allotted time, the vehicle will be sold at auction. The proceeds from the sale will go toward paying off the loan. The vehicle owner will then have to pay the difference between the loan and the sale price of the vehicle.

Reclaiming Your Vehicle

If you have been notified that your vehicle will be repossessed, you may be able to get it back. If your vehicle is still in possession of the agency, you can contact them and make arrangements to pay what you owe on the loan.
