The economic downturn has affected so many of us in various ways. One negative event results a negative consequence, and so on. In one way or another, most of have been caught in this chain reaction. A prime example of this process is the creditor response to missed car payments -- the repossession order.
When this order is issued can vary greatly depending on the state and the lending institution. In some cases just a single missed payment can trigger the issuance of the repossession order. More commonly however, several attempts will be maid to collect the amount in arrears before beginning this process.
To avoid this situation, you are always far better off by communicating in a proactive manner with your lender. Often, the lender will give you some additional time to come up with your vehicle payment and will even agree to waive some of the late payment penalties if you communicate with them in advance of it becoming an issue. Issuing a repossession order is generally an act of last recourse for a lender. All things considered, working out some kind of agreement with the borrower is far less expensive for them.
If indeed a repossession order is issued, it could happen in a number of different ways. Some creditors will have in-house workers perform the physical repossession of your vehicle, while many others will essentially put the order on a list which independent contractors can access. It is quite possible that several different entities will end of vying to be the first to repossess your vehicle once the order has been issued.
Simply by bringing your payments up to date, the lender will often issue a stop repossession order. Again, by being proactive and communicating with your creditors you may be able to avoid the entire process. Even if your attempts at communication come after the repossession order has been issued, that may be enough to get the lender to rescind the order, especially if that was the first time that one had been issued for your vehicle.
So do everything you can to keep things from getting this far. It can't be emphasized enough that your car, especially if it was purchased new, usually is worth so much less than the amount of the loan, the creditor would much rather deal with a few hiccups along the way than to resort to a repossession order. Pick up the phone and keep the "repo-man" away.
