Forever Adding: I believe the questioner may actually mean to say - does the lien holder have to wait to sell it. Perhaps he doesn't understand that after repossession, it is then "their", that is the lenders, vehicle.
Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle. If "the bank" is not the lien holder then it has no authority to take possession of the car by repossession. However, if a bank obtains a judgment lien against you in court for a different debt, it can use the judgment lien to seize your car, or any other property, to satisfy the judgment.Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle.

NO, they can attach a lien to be paid FIRST if/when the home is sold.
After repossession, the lien holder or agent sends information on how to reclaim the vehicle; if the owner does not respond or cannot repay the outstanding debt, the agent removes all personal belongings and sells the vehicle at auction. You will then be liable for the difference in what it sells for and the balance on the loan plus repossession fees.
No... a vehicle which has a lien against it isn't paid off.
Yes, provided he has a valid lien. Often, in the event of unpaid vehicle repair debts, mechanics can obtain a mechanic's lien. Repossession can be a means of enforcing a mechanic's lien.
Present proof of your ownership and the lien contract to court and get a repossession order.
A lien means that money is owed on your vehicle. If there is no more money owed, then there is no longer a lien, and the vehicle cannot be repossessed.
The answer is yes, if the creditor brings you to court on the matter.
Repossession is an option that some lenders use to help pay against a bad debt. The debt or loan must have been secured by property. That property will in most cases have a lien placed against it to prevent unlawful sale and fraud against the lender. When the vehicle is repossessed, it is sold at auction and the proceeds are applied to the debt to help offset it or pay a portion of it.
Yes and no. The contractor can file a lien against your house for non-payment. Even if you honestly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still lien your house; he will eventually have to prove the lien's validity in court or it is automatically released. No lien can be filed against your car. However, if the contractor gets a judgment against you, that judgment may be executed against your car and home to secure payment.
Yes. That's the sole cause for repossession, when the payment/s haven't been made.
