It varies from company to company. They won't tell you their policy, even if you ask. They CAN reposses after just 1-2 missed payments, I believe. They will not notify you. I was 3 payments behind with Key Bank, and I never got a call or a late notice in the mail or anything. Just woke up 1 morning & it was gone. You DO NOT want your car repossesed, ever. If you don't want the car anymore, call them & make arrangements with them to give up the car, and it will be much easier and not look as bad for your credit. I actually wanted my car back, and although I only was behind $600-$700, it cost me about $1600 when all was said & done to get it back. (And my radar detector was gone, the battery was dead, & it had obviously been driven very hard.) Even if you can't pay them right now, calling them is always better than avoiding them. If it is a temporary financial situation, many will offer a deferrment for a month or two. If they don't, ask. Also, if there is any danger your car may be repossessed, don't leave ANYTHING you don't want to lose in your car when you get out.
Usually 3 months. There could be shorter or longer terms by lenders.
Your car can be repossessed if you miss one payment. Not likely they would do that but it is possible.
once you are 90 days down they can start with a foreclosure.
They usually repossess when you miss two or three payments. They seldom repossess if you've just missed one.
Typically a person is given three months or approximately 90 days to miss car payments before a car is subject to repossession. Usually the bank or credit union that issued the loan will call to try and arrange payments with the car owner.
Legally if you miss 1 payment you are delinquent and they can start repossession proceedings on their vehicle.
Depends on the lender. Legally, one!
Not sure the case in Oregon, but usually after 3 missed payments, the foreclosure proceedings start.
If it is not specified in the contract then it is likely at the descretion of the lender.
Maybe, by Fedral law your car can get repossessed if you are ONE DAY past due on your car payment. I know many repo agents and they have a saying "Support your local repo man-- miss two payments" I wouldn't hold off much longer to pay them. You should call them and try to get a deferment or two.
Different places can have various restrictions when it comes to foreclosure. However, in Florida you can miss 3 payments and then the foreclosure will start.
Legally if you miss 1 payment you are delinquent and they can start repossession proceedings on their vehicle. Remember it is not your car until you pay for it. It belongs to the lender.
Most lenders will begin proceedings to reposses once payments reach the 90 day late period. This does vary from vendor to vendor however.
