If they have collected the entire amount owing (all principal and interest on the original loan) they have no legal right to repo the auto. If they have only collected the past due amount and there's still a sum due, then they can repo the auto. It doesn't matter one bit if they've charged it off. That's just for their tax purposes.

REPOMAN IN Texas: YES, THEY CAN WRITE IT OFF (CHARGE-OFF) AFTER A CERTAIN TIME WHEN THE PREVIOUS REPO COMPANY CAN'T FIND IT. LATER THEY HIRE A BETTER RECOVERY COMPANY TO FIND IT AND RECOVER IT.

Sara had a previous balance of 449.13 carried over from last months credit card bill The credit card company assessed a 6.74 finance charge What is Saras new balance?

$455.87, assuming Sara has not made any additional charges on her card since receiving the previous credit card bill. When a credit card company assesses a finance charge, the finance charge ($6.74) is added to the existing balance ($449.13) to arrive at a new balance ($455.87). As an aside, if possible, Sara should revolve (carry) her balance on a credit card that charges a lower rate since the $6.74 finance charge represents 18% (17.7%) on an annualized basis.
