Auto Repossesion

Ok help! I live in CA and have a vehicle in which is now 27 days past due. They are not willing to help me in any way shape or form to make partail payments or do a post dated check. They are telling me to pay now or surrender the car. I wont surrender and am not able to pay the full payment. Can they repo? I have looked into my contract to see what the deadline for repo is, but it does not specify a time limit. It only says that repo is allowable if it is done within the law and can be done so peacefully. I can't sleep at night!

I forgot the terminology but you can forestall a payment and have them put it on the back end of a loan.

Thank you, that would be a payment deferment which they say I do not qualify for yet.

A car can be repossessed at any time after a missed payment, and advance notice is not required. In general, they will not bother to repossess a vehicle immediately, but once you have received notice to surrender the vehicle you can expect a repossession soon. In many cases, you can prevent this from happening by filing for bankruptcy, but this will be extremely detrimental to your credit score.

Your best bet is to borrow the money from someone to make the payment, because as soon as you have overdue payments, you lose your right to own the vehicle.
