i asked because, my daughters car was repoed, there was a letter to cure default in 5 days. In wisconsin, the law says 15 days. not only that, the repo happened before the 5 days was up. She was going to just pay the car off. the repo was not reported to the local law enforcement by the repossessors either. They know all the work we had done because they sold us a lemon, now that the work is done, they want the car, not only was she overcharged for the car, she had to fix it too. There are laws in wisconsin and they broke all of them that I know. Hopefully the DA will have some answers for me, this repo was a criminal act.

As a police officer, I have gone to "keep the peace" with recovery drivers. I have also arrested a couple of repo men for breaking the law while attempting to repossess. Seems you can't force open a garage door with a pry bar to gain entry and repo a car. A neighbor videotaped the whole thing. Then the mutt driving the tow truck came to the station to file the repo with us. You should have seen the look on his face when I hooked him up and then had HIS truck towed to the city impound lot. Most repo guys do a really hard job without crossing the line. I would not want that job, now or ever.

There are many people who do not live up to their financial obligations, and cars are repossessed every day. I have been the one taking them many times.
If you pay your bills, you do not have to worry about having your car repossessed.
What do you call someone who does not make their car payments? A pedestrian.

My mom did when she left my step dad. We went to go live with my grandma in La Mirada, and we'd been staying there about a week, when one morning she told me to get something from her Toyota 4Runner, and when I went outside, it wasn't there. I came in and told her, and she thought I was messing with her, so she got mad at me. But when she came out and saw it was gone, she started crying. She was upset cuz my step dad had called the finance company and told them where she was, and that she had no intentions on making anymore payments on it, so they hauled it off. It sucked cuz it was the only car we had and my mom hadn't unpacked any of her things she'd taken with her when we left Rialto.

no. It definitely will not leave a positive reflection on your credit report. Forget about financing anything for the next few years. If you do get financing you will have exobitant interest rates.

I did once, but it was a voluntary repossession. They're not quite the same.
