Can you legally go and take your car back after it has been repossessed?

In general, it is illegal to take back a repossessed vehicle. Repossession occurs when a lender takes back a vehicle because the borrower has failed to make payments. Once the vehicle has been repossessed, it is considered to be the property of the lender. Taking back the vehicle without the lender's consent is considered theft.

However, there are some circumstances in which it may be possible to get your car back after it has been repossessed. For example, if you can pay the full amount of the debt that you owe, the lender may agree to release the vehicle. Alternatively, you may be able to negotiate a payment plan with the lender that allows you to keep the vehicle.

If you are unable to reach an agreement with the lender, you may have to file a lawsuit to recover the vehicle. This can be a complex and expensive process, and there is no guarantee that you will be successful.

Before taking any action, it is important to consult with an attorney to discuss your options. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.
