Answer:
To redeem collateral, the crdietor sends a letter authorizing an employee or person to repossess th vehicle. The vin number, as well as any amount owing must be displayed on the document. This way, if the client wants to pay the money owed he can do so. At that time, after paying all monies owed, the secured party can not repossess the vehicle, and the payment agreement continues for the duration. If not paid, after the vehicle has been seized, the police are notified that the vehicle has be repossessed. this way if the person owned the car phones the police, the client is notified that it was repossessed. The vehicle is stroed for 30 days to give a chance for the client to pay off the amounts owed. If not paid, the vehicle is sold. the creditor has to try to get full market value. If the vehicle is sold for less than the money owed, the client is on the hook. If sold more than the material value, then you receive any residual money left over after ALL creditors have been paid. I hope this answers your question.
