FAQ
In California, a consumer's vehicle can be taken from them if they miss payments on their loan or if they violate any terms of their agreement. This process is known as repossession and the creditor has the right to repossess the consumer's vehicle if it holds a valid security interest in it.
What Happens If the Repo Agent Doesn't Find Your Car? But if you make it hard for the repo agent to get it, then the creditor may use another method to get the car back, called "replevin." Replevin can be just as costly as a repossession, if not more so.
How many payments you can miss before you can expect car repossession depends entirely on your lender and their leniency. Most lenders won't begin repossession until you've missed three or more payments.
Creditors use replevin actions to recover collateral when debtors default on secured loans. For example, a bank might file a replevin action against a borrower to repossess the borrower's car after he missed too many payments.
The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.
The Complaint: The complaint in replevin typically must include: (i) a description of the property to be replevied; (ii) its value; (iii) its location if known; and (iv) the material facts upon which the claim is based – in other words, why the filing party is entitled to seize the property that has been taken.
In its simplest terms, replevin is a procedure whereby seized goods are restored to their owner (creditor) at the beginning of a lawsuit. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to retrieve vehicles, equipment, or any personal property in California, the replevin is a very useful tool.

File a motion for a writ of replevin. The motion must be accompanied by an affidavit or verified complaint that supports the allegations in your complaint. The affidavit must also state that you will post a replevin bond with the court. The amount of the bond will be set by the court.
There is no rule that states how long you must wait, but many traditional lenders or banks will not be willing to give you a car loan until at least 12 months after your repossession—especially if you are still paying off the debt.
