What are the repossession laws in Illinois?

By agreeing to the loan, you permit the vehicle to serve as "collateral" that the creditor can repossess if you don't make your payments. If you can't afford to pay your loan, Illinois laws entitle the lender to take back the automobile as long as it is done in a way that does not breach the peace.

Can you negotiate a repossession?

Is it illegal to hide a car from repossession in Illinois?

Are car repossessions on hold in Illinois?
