Legally if you miss 1 payment you are delinquent and they can start repossession proceedings on their vehicle.
In California your car can be taken 1 second after midnight the day after your payment is due. If you do not comply with one of the requirements of the loan, things like insurance and the like, the car can be taken with out notice.
If you are more than 1 payment behind rest assure it will be repossessed. The way to prevent this is to catch up on your payments ASAP. Default on the loan agreement you signed, and they will repossess the vehicle. They will then sell the vehicle and you will pay the difference in what the vehicle sells for and the balance left on the loan. They will sue you for the balance, and you will pay. Your credit will then be ruined for 7 years. Avoid this if there is any way possible. Talk to the lender and see if something can be worked out. You do not want the car repossessed.

Suzette, what are the details on your purchase? Such as what state? One reason for repo before ist payment due is a person didnt qualify for the financing deal offered. Maybe a small detail got left out. Or a large detail. Its obvious that dealers WANT to move cars. So they will do a LOT to make the deal go thru. For them to repo asap, theres about 2 reasons. the obvious, you didnt qualify OR they screwed up. If it's #1. oh well you tried. If #2. OH BOY, call your or any attorney. JACKPOT.
they get paid 1 dollar
