This glossary explains common terms used in repossession and collection matters to help you better understand the process.
Repossession is the lawful retrieval of collateral when a borrower defaults, followed by disposition of the asset to satisfy the debt.
A formal notice sent to the borrower signaling a default and outlining the next steps to cure the breach before further action may be taken.
A legal right in the collateral that secures the debt and allows the lender to reclaim the asset if the borrower fails to meet obligations.
The borrower may reclaim the asset by paying all amounts due within a specified period, depending on state law.
When pursuing recovery, you can choose from options such as voluntary payment negotiations, repossession, or pursuing legal remedies. We help you weigh costs, timelines, and risks.
