When is a car repossesed?

When a borrower fails to make payments in accordance with the terms of their car loan agreement, the car may be repossessed. Car repossession is the legal process by which a lender takes back a car that was used as collateral for a loan. Typically, repossession occurs after a borrower has missed several consecutive payments and attempts to contact them have been unsuccessful.
