Steps to Take Before a Vehicle Repossession

If you think your vehicle may be repossessed, take these steps:  

• Remove all purchase and loan documents from the vehicle.
• Remove all personal belongings from the vehicle.
• Note the current odometer mileage.
• Take photographs of the vehicle's interior and exterior. 
• Request that the lender provide you with a written loan payment history.
• Request that the lender provide you with a payoff figure.
• Do not hide or conceal the vehicle to avoid a repossession.
