This doesn't pass the smell test. I've never heard of any finance company taking 2 years of no payments before they attempt to repo a vehicle. If it were me, I'd try to verify the debt with them first. If you can't locate the records, ask them to send you verification of the debt and send the request by certified mail so you have proof on your end. How was his estate handled? Did it go through probate or did he have a will? The car should be in your name by now otherwise, how could you sell it if you needed to?
