Tesla Repossession Dispute Steps
Summary
In California, lenders must provide specific notices before and after repossessing a vehicle. If these notices are not received, you may dispute the debt. Draft a formal dispute letter to the lender, requesting validation of the debt and detailing the missing notices. Keep copies of all correspondence and consider filing a complaint with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation if the issue remains unresolved. Regularly monitor your credit report for updates or discrepancies.Full Conversation
