Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Car Repo
My Daughter bought a car in 2002 but last year she lost her job and she reported to the bank and told them that she will pay them as soon as she works. but they still went ahead and tried to repo her car, she doesnt want to give up the car, and she is still paying past car notes. Even though they accepted payments can they still ask for the car back and what happens if she doesnt give it back while paying?

Re: Car Repo
If she is behind, they can still repo the car. If she wants to keep the car, she either has to negotiate a new deal with them, which can be done, or she needs to get current. As long as she is behind, the car can be repo'd.
