Repossession is the process by which a lender takes back collateral after you default on a loan. In California, borrowers have rights and defenses that can influence when and how repossession occurs. Understanding notices and deadlines is important to protect your options.
Timing varies by loan type and lender, but steps often occur over weeks to months. Early action and negotiation can affect the timeline and outcome.
