- Contact the creditor. The creditor who repossessed your car is required to send you a notice within 10 days of the repossession. This notice should include the name and address of the towing company that took your car.
- Contact the towing company. Once you have the name and address of the towing company, you can contact them to find out where your car is being held. They may also be able to give you information about the process of redeeming your car.
- Check online. There are also a number of online resources that can help you find information about your repossessed car. Some of these resources include:
- The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB)
- Carfax
- AutoCheck
To find out how much you owe on your car after it has been sold, you can follow these steps:
- Get a payoff statement. You can request a payoff statement from the creditor who repossessed your car. This statement will show you the total amount of debt that you still owe on your car, including the principal balance, interest, and any late fees.
- Attend the sale. You can also attend the sale of your car. This will give you an opportunity to bid on your car and try to buy it back.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind if your car has been repossessed:
- You may be able to redeem your car by paying the full amount of the debt that you owe, as well as any associated fees.
- If you do not redeem your car, the creditor will sell it at a public auction. The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off your debt. Any remaining money will be sent to you.
- If you cannot afford to redeem your car, you may want to consider filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can help you to discharge your debt and get a fresh start.
