Checklist

Auto-finance repossession and deficiency review

Track retail installment terms, repossession notices, sale notices, deficiency calculations, add-ons, and UCC Article 9 questions.

What this helps with

Use this when a vehicle was financed, repossessed, threatened with repossession, sold after repossession, or followed by a deficiency claim.


What to look for

  • Retail installment contract, buyer’s order, TILA disclosure box, GAP, warranties, and add-ons
  • Repossession notice, right-to-redeem/reinstate language, sale notice, sale result, and deficiency calculation
  • Payment history, late fees, insurance, cancellation/refund documents, and communications with the lender/dealer
  • Arbitration, assignment, FTC Holder Rule, UCC Article 9 notice, and state-specific consumer protections

Suggested next steps

  1. Create an auto-finance case.
  2. Run the retail transaction review.
  3. Upload finance and repossession paperwork for issue spotting.
