Obviously, the first thing to do to stop car repossession would be not to fall behind on the loan payments in the first place. However, the case being that there are now three late payments, there are other options available to help one keep one’s vehicle. If one does not have all of the arrearage, one can offer to pay the lender a portion of what is owed. If the lien holder allows the partial payment, it is, in effect, agreeing that they are sufficient enough to prevent repossession. Try to communicate with the lender and request a refinance of the auto loan or to negotiate a new repayment plan. Suggest signing a contract with a higher interest rate or longer repayment period to cover the back due amount.
