Repossession is the process lenders use to reclaim collateral when borrowers miss payments. In California, there are rules for notices, timelines, and procedures that protect borrowers.
We review your case, explain your rights, and outline practical steps to resolve the matter while aiming to preserve as much of your assets as possible.
