I am unemployed an no longer able to make my car payments and the bank has moved my auto to a repo status. Am I able to sell the car and try to get a enough money to pay the loan off, or at least get them a bigger chunk than what thy would get at the auction, or is the bank not going to allow any sale and force me to give the car to them?

I have a VERY complex situation. My car was repo’d, then approximately 24 hours after this I made the full payment. After 3 days my lien holder (Fifth Third Bank) released the vehicle and faxed the release to the repo company(ASR Nationwide) and transporters (Progressive Asset Recovery) of my vehicle.
The transporters then called me to let me know that the vehicle was moved to an auto auction(Manheim Auto Auction) and it would take a day for them to bring my car back. I found this wrong since I made the payment within 24 hours of it being repo’d. They took the trip to pick up my vehicle from the auto auction and called me later saying that the auto auction refused to give me my vehicle because THURSDAY was their "sale date" and the transporting company would need to come back on friday.
Friday they drove down to pick up my car and this time the excuse was that they don’t release vehicles on Friday – even though they told the transporters they could the day before. My lien holder, the repo company, and the transporters are sending emails and calling like crazy to get my car back. I just recently sent and called a few general managers and customer relation people myself, but….HAS ANY ONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE??? ALSO, DOES ANYONE KNOW A LAW FIRM OR LAWYER IN MICHIGAN THAT COULD HELP?? I NEED TO KNOW WOULD I HAVE ANY OBLIGATION IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE.

Question by meme_pyt: How much does it cost to tow your car from one of those auctions?
I’m thinking about buying a car at one of those repo/unclaimed car auctions, particularly the one in Philly (PPA). How much do the towers charge? I live in Jersey, where can i get the car towed to so that i can drive it home?

I had a car repossessed. After auction the balance owed is ,500. New collection company is asking for almost ,000. I am making plans to pay off this debt.

My question is: how much more can a collection company charge above the charge off amount?

The auction was about 1.5 years ago.

I watch some of those repo shows on television like All Worked Up and Operation Repo. I have seen where the repo company doesn’t allow the owner of the vehicle to get their belongings out of the car when they come back to the company after the car was repossessed until the repo paper work has been fully processed, than they can get their stuff or something like that. I know Tru TV is just for pure entertainment purposes only, but they are based on real repos, just dramatized for television. Just wondering if it was true in real life that you can’t get your belongings out if you go back to the company after the car is repossessed? I just think it is ridiculous because, yes, you didn’t pay the finance company, and the car got repoed, but the repo company people should get the people’s belongings out for them and why do they not let them get their stuff out if it’s true?
