We have all heard the stories of property repossession. Some of you may have first hand knowledge of, or have personally experienced, the trials and tribulations of the process. But if you are in the midst of financial woes, you don’t necessarily need to resign yourself to the process. There are a number of ways to stop repossession.
It is important to know that some of the strategies that you employ will stop repossession permanently and others will only delay the inevitable. Hiding your car at a friend’s house, for example, may buy you some time, but won’t rid you of the headaches that you incur by having to constantly stay one step ahead of your creditor.
The best way, in most cases, of having the repossession stopped is to make contact with your lender or creditor. Take a proactive approach. Explain to the lender that you would like to do whatever you can to keep your car or home or whatever other item may be involved. Usually, after some initial hard line talk, your lender will be receptive to giving you more time to get current with your payments. In some cases, the creditor may even be willing to negotiate new terms that will allow you to continue to make timely payments.
There are some distinct differences between house repossession and auto repossession. So getting the process of repossession stopped for each kind of property can differ greatly. The main difference between the two types is the length of time that elapses from the time of default to the time of actual repossession or foreclosure.
To stop repossession of a car you generally need to act quite quickly. Per most laws in most states, the creditor of an auto will be contractually allowed to seize your vehicle upon your missing of a single loan payment.
In the case of a home, a homeowner can miss up to three months of payments, depending on the state, at which time the lender has the right to post a foreclosure notice on your premises. From the time of this posting you are given a specific amount of time to bring your payments current or your home will be repossessed per the notification.
During the recent real estate crisis, repossession of property has taken an exceedingly long time in many cases. If a lender fails to issue the foreclosure notice, in most states you cannot be forced to vacate your home. People can stop house repossession for months on end if the notice has not been received. Again, this is only a temporary solution and will not be mitigated unless you proactively negotiate with the lender.
Essentially the only rock-solid way to stop repossession is to meet all your credit obligations in a timely manner. Any other method or approach is either risky or temporary. Pay on time so you can keep your car and home and any other property.
