Damien, as long as you are behind, they can repo. read your conract where it mentions "DEFAULT". If you are in default, they have the right to repo. Whether or not they do repo depends on many variables. Basiclly, they have to at least think there is a chance that you WILL pay so they dont repo. PAYING is the best way to make the lender think you will pay. LOL Good Luck and get your personal property out of the car until you get caught up.
YES if you are in default of your agreement they can attempt repossession and repossess your car. Your contract specifies what a default means. In practice they only repossess at 60 days past due but not always.
NO THEY CANNOT PUT A WARRENT OUT OR HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR GRAND THEFT AUTO. Usually a repossession precedes a court order meaning they need no court order to repossess. As a result if you prevent repossession and hide the car you are not violating criminal law.
Once they are unable to take the car and its obviously hidden however they can get a court order and the sherriff's department takes over and demands you return the car. If you still dont then you are generally charged for contempt of court...but continued failure to return the car on court order could constitute theft.
But in your situation NO THEY CANT PRESS CRIMINAL CHARGES
Oh yes they can.
Some states, such as Georgia, have criminal code sections for "Concelement of property subject to security interest", and do not require contempt of court to have someone charged. A lienholder or their represenative can file an application for a warrant with the magistrate judges office, and the judge will set a date to hear it. (usually within a day or so) They are required to, as it is a state law with a code section, and if it is proven to have been violated, they have no choice but to issue a warrant, by their legal duty.
Before you say it can't happen, I know it can. Yes, you be criminally charged for conceling a vehicle from the lienholder, as I have seen it happen more than once.

Can a finance company repossess your car when you lose your job?

In California does a finance company have the right to repo a car from a police impound when payments are not behind?
No, They would have to be behind on the car payment The above is not always the case. It can depend on what the car was impounded for. If it was impounded for something like drugs where asset forfeiture comes into play then yes the finance company can take the car regardless of payment status. The reason for this is because there are times when the authorities will tell the finance company that if the vehicle is returned to the registered owner the finance company will lose their rights to it as well. The finance company does not have to hand their collateral back to you if it means loss of collateral, it is their car after all.

Cosigning for auto loans i am the primary on my sons auto loan he is behind and I have the title but do not know where the car is how can I get it back?
I do not understand how you can be in posession of the title when the vehicle is financed. The vehicle title is alwaysheld by the finance company until all payments are made and the loan balance is paid in full.As for locating the vehicle you will need to talk to your son, or let the finance company repo experts locate it and get it back then.
