Falling behind on car payments affects your credit, and this can make it harder or more expensive to get loans in the future. A repossession could also stay on your credit reports for up to seven years. Repossession can also mean paying higher insurance rates.
The Affidavit of Defense will let you explain why you did not make payments on the car. If you send it in within 21 days of the repossession, you can stop the creditor from selling your car. But, you will need to go to court to explain why you did not make payments if you choose to claim a defense.

Once the creditor takes your car, they have to notify you within three days by mailing you a written notice to explain that your car has been repossessed. The notice will also explain your options for getting your car back.
