Re: Repossession/Forclosure
Technically, if you are one day late on your car payment, your car may be repossessed. Most finance companies don't move this fast, however. Same with foreclosure, except with foreclosure, the mortgage company must give you advance notice of their intent to foreclose. In Texas, there are two different notices which must be sent, one thirty day notice and one twenty day notice.
