Your rights with auto lenders

Repossession rules come from your contract and your state's law: in many states a lender can repossess without warning once you default, but it cannot breach the peace, and it must tell you how to get the car back and how it will be sold. You are usually entitled to a refund of unused add-ons such as GAP or service contracts when the loan ends early.

Scam warning: Watch for add-ons slipped into the contract, and get every promise in writing before you sign. A dealer cannot make you buy extras to get the loan.
