Repossession in California generally occurs when a borrower defaults on a secured loan. The lender must follow specific steps, including notices and opportunities to cure, before reclaiming a vehicle or other collateral. You may have defenses and options, such as negotiating a repayment plan or seeking to recover your property if proper procedures were not followed.
Your rights depend on the type of collateral and the status of the loan. In many cases, you can request a reinvestment or redelivery, or arrange a cure. A lawyer can help you understand deadlines and preserve defenses.
