Repossession happens when a lender takes back a car because the borrower has fallen behind on payments. Repo agents use personal details, social media, and tools like GPS trackers and license plate scanners to find vehicles.

You can also use websites like Carfax, Auto Trader, Buy It Now, eBay and CarsDirect. All these websites provide information about repossessed cars.

What Happens If the Repo Agent Doesn't Find Your Car? But if you make it hard for the repo agent to get it, then the creditor may use another method to get the car back, called "replevin." Replevin can be just as costly as a repossession, if not more so.

Direct Dispute with the Lienholder: Even though the lienholder has refused to remove the repossession, consider sending them a formal dispute letter. In the letter, outline the timeline of events, provide evidence of the insurance payout, and explain why the repossession should not be considered a default on your part.

After repossession, a consumer may have the option to redeem the vehicle before it is sold by paying the entire outstanding balance of the car loan, including interest, costs, and fees.
