I was able to have my loan re-instated, but when I went to pick up my car, I had to pay, for a new battery, & to fix the linkage, that was broken during repossesion. I was then told, there was extensive damage to the transmission. There were extensive items that were missing from the property that had been in the vehicle. I have the receipt, from the previous battery, that had just been installed 2 months prior, plus all the receipts that I had to pay, just to get the vehicle in driving condition. The transmission has not been fixed & the finance company, who employed the reposession company, has washed their hands of it. The repossesion company, won't even talk to me. What can I do?

Sue them. A bailor (which they would be)owes a high duty of care on property in their possession. The total damage might come out under the amount in your state that is the limit of small claims court and you could do it without hiring an attorney.
As this is a repossession--you will need to check your loan agreement and see if there is some clause which exculpate the repo company completly.

Nothing......you can't prove a damn thing.
The repo company has a clause that eliminates them from liability for any theft or damage.
The banks end up selling the car at auction and the balance is owed by you....period.
