You usually have to have insurance in case you have an accident. The finance company can then retrieve the debt from the insurance company. If you do not have insurance then they will have to retrieve the debt from your other assets such as your house if you have one! If they perceive that you are a bad risk they may look at getting the car back if there is enough equity in it but they will still want any outstanding dues. Better to keep up the insurance. They may not know the insurance has lapsed unless you notify them.

Can you be charged a repo and insurance fee when the original owner never notifid you of the repo and drove the vehicle away herself?

I'm not sure what your question/situation is but... The Finance company can do what's called "forced insurance" meaning if you do not have insurance they will put insurance on the vehicle at a hefty cost to you. They can also repossess the vehicle even if you are up to date in payments but do not pay them their insurance rate.... and that money is still owed after the repo.

Can a your car be repossessed if you are not late?

Yes. There are finance agreements that have other requirements other than make the payments on time. For example, if you finance a brand new vehicle the finance agreement will more than likely state in it somewhere that you maintain full coverage insurance on the vehicle. If you drop it to liability or let it lapse completely, they can repo the vehicle. Some agreements state that you must maintin the registration on it, if the registration lapses, they will repo it. I would suggets going back and re-reading the agreement, word for word, line by line.
