Is a repossession a public record?

Although court judgments no longer appear on credit reports or factor into credit scores, they're still part of the public record. If a lender looks up your public records, this could make it harder to qualify for future loans.

Can I get my car back the same day it was repossessed?

Trying to reinstate or redeem your auto loan typically has to happen within a short time period, such as about two weeks, so you could have your car back soon after it's repossessed. You may have to wait longer, perhaps several months, if the car is sold at auction due to the time of the auction process.

How do I write a voluntary repossession letter?

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.
