Car in repo - New York State laws

I have a car loan (NY STATE) that is more than 90 days late, car now in repossession, but was not taken yet. I can’t see my account on line and so forth. Can I reinstate loan and what do I need from bank to guarantee the reinstatement?

I wish to inform you that the first step is in studying your car loan contract. The provisions regarding repossession of the vehicle and reinstatement of the car loan will guide this matter. If there is an 'acceleration clause' then you will have to repay complete amount and take back the car. Thereafter, you must contact the lender and inform that you would like to reinstate the car loan. You must ask for the loan amount due presently including interest. If there are additional fees and charges, you can ask the lender about them. You may then pay off the amount and repossess your car. You can also renegotiate the car loan terms and sign a new agreement. Your car loan is subject to Federal Trade Commission and New York State laws.

Money people, money!!! Pay what you owe and they will work with you, unless you drag your feet and they sell the car.

Examine your finances closely and determine what you can afford to pay immediately on the vehicle and how much you can apply to the loan over the next month. Contact the creditor. Stress that you want to keep your car and tell her what amount of money you can pay and when you can pay. Explain what caused your situation and how you plan to recover and repay the past due debt. You can contact a local bankruptcy attorney also to set up an appointment to discuss your options. Bankruptcy proceedings will halt all repossessions and any other debt collection.

Oh the crimes we do commit. Conversion and embezzlement for starters. Nevermind the ludicrous nature of ^. Mechanics liens are well-regulated in most states as far as when you can place one, for how much, and what happens if it's not paid. The first lie holder always gets priority so GMC or whomever financed the vehicle in this supposedly true account would not have been beholden to a lien by "Joes Garage" until and unless they were first paid in full.

Please don't bother with your fanciful (yet altogether untrue) stories here.
