A repossession affidavit is a legal statement filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles when you repossess a car from a customer. This document provides details about the repossession such as why and how the vehicle was repossessed. It also informs government authorities that the vehicle has been repossessed.
However, the lender has absolutely no obligation to do so. Even though you want to surrender the vehicle the lender won't pick it up.
How to perform a voluntary repossession of your vehicle Proactively inform your lender that you are unable to maintain making timely, monthly payments. Work with the lender to arrange a time and place for dropping the vehicle off.
Under Florida law, your lender must give you an opportunity to meet at a mutually agreed-upon place to surrender the car and remove your belongings before the lender repossesses the car. If you don't do this, lenders aren't required to give you any further notice before the repossession.
Identify yourself and your vehicle. Be sure to include an account number so that your lender can match your letter to your records. Explain that you're unable to make payments and intend to surrender the car. Provide contact information so that your lender can reach you.
