Absolutely. When you purchase and finance a vehicle you sign a legally binding contract. Perhaps you should read what you sign. The contract states that you agree to carry insurance that includes comprehensive and collision with a maximum deductible of usually $500. If you let your insurance cancel then you have broken the contract and therefore the finance company can reposses the vehicle.

My girlfriend canceled my insurance and called the car lot My car was repossessed to get the car back they want to be paid off in full what are my legal rights do I have any options?

If you owed money on the car (which is probably why it was repossessed), you need to pay what they demand. Check the paper you signed when buying the car if you think they are 'demanding' something different than you signed. Your girlfriend was smart to cancel the insurance, since a repossessed car does not need insurance. You cannot sue your girlfriend for calling the car lot, or for cancelling the insurance, because you cannot show DAMAGES to yourself.

If you repossess your car do you have to continue insurance coverage on that vehicle?

What if your car was repossessed due to lack of insurance yet was insured at time of repossession?
