Vehicle auctioned post-repossession without required pre-sale notice to borrower
After repossession, lenders auction vehicles without sending required statutory notice to the borrower, eliminating any chance to redeem the vehicle or contest the sale price. Borrowers only learn of the sale after the fact when presented with a deficiency balance.

After a vehicle is repossessed and sold at auction, consumers face collection attempts for loan balances that exceed what the law allows — often inflated by arbitrary fees or below-market auction prices. Collection agencies pursue these deficiency balances aggressively despite state-law limits. Consumers rarely have the legal knowledge to challenge the calculation.
