Re: My car was reposessed
Read The Friendly Contract that you signed when you bought the car. It says that you agreed to maintain insurance on the car so that your lender is protected in case you crash it. It also says that if you let your auto insurance lapse, they can buy insurance and charge you for it at their prices. All of this is neither illegal nor unfair, and you agreed to it in writing. Pay the amount they are demanding if you want your car back, and if you do get it back, don't let your personal auto insurance lapse again.
