How do you go about getting your car back AFTER a reprossession has happened?

1. Reach out to the lender/creditor. Contact the financial institution or lender. They will be able to provide the specific steps you need to take to get your car back. This could include paying the full balance of the loan or working out some other sort of payment plan.

2. Provide proof of ownership. You will likely need to provide proof of ownership of the vehicle, such as the vehicle registration or title.

3. Pay the outstanding debt. You usually will need to pay the full amount owed on the loan, including any late fees, storage fees, towing fees and repossession fees.

4. Get the car back. Once the debt is paid in full, the lender will release the car to you. You may need to sign some documents and may need to pick up the car from the repossession company.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

- Act quickly. The longer you wait to get your car back, the more fees and charges you may have to pay.

- Be polite and respectful. The lender may be more likely to work with you if you are polite and respectful.

- Get everything in writing. Make sure to get any agreements with the lender in writing before you sign anything.

- Consider bankruptcy or negotiate with creditors: If you are unable to repay the full loan amount, you may want to consider filing for bankruptcy. This can give you a chance to reorganize your finances and reduce your debt burden. You may also want to negotiate with your creditors to reduce the interest rate or the amount you owe.
