Before you do anything, attempt to make the payment. Send your payment in the mail. Chances are it will be accepted because of the volume of activity. If they accept this payment then they have to accept all payments. If you want to stop the repo you will have to pay both notes.

If you cannot do that then voluntarily give the car back. It will cost less. It will also make your total amount due less because legal and repo fees cannot be charged. If you are attempting to keep the car and hiding from the repo man, you will be short lived. Your best bet is to pay the 2 notes and get them off your back. repossession will not alleviate the debt. If you are successful in hiding from the repo man long enough, you can be brought to court under a replevin. This is where the judge will force you to relinquish the vehicle. Then there is another large amount added to your debt. i repo cars at work in mississippi. The laws are different in each state but not much.

Hi, sweetcande, and welcome to WebAnswers.

You would get in difficulty with law enforcement if you live in a jurisdiction for which a court order has been obtained for repossession and you tried to withhold the vehicle.

Thank you for your question.
