* The amount of the debt that is owed
* The date by which the debt must be paid in full
* A statement that the car will be repossessed if the debt is not paid in full
The creditor must also make a reasonable attempt to contact the car owner by phone or in person before the repossession date. If the car owner cannot be reached, the creditor must leave a notice of the repossession on the car.
In some states, the creditor may also be required to obtain a court order before they can repossess the vehicle.
