Husbands Car Getting Repossessed Despite Him Making His Payments Every Month And The Loan Company Was Adding It To An Account Instead Of Towards His Loan

UPDATE: We somehow, someway, by the grace of God I guess, received our tax return today. We went ahead and paid the late fee and the April payment to avoid repo. However, I do plan to speak with an attorney about it since that’s what most of you guys have recommended. I would like to be reimbursed the late fee and hopefully get our credit disputed. But thank you all for the help, I truly appreciate it.

My husband has been making his payments every month, sometimes late but always make them. The loan company has been adding his payments to a trust account instead of applying it to his loan balance since January and we had no idea until now. We don’t bank with them or anything so we aren’t sure where the trust account came from in the first place. Now they are trying to repossess his car because of it. He called and they fixed the trust account and applied it to his loan, but now they’re saying they are still going to repossess it because he owes for April and late fees. His car payment isn’t due until the 21st for April and we don’t have the funds to make the payment until Friday. Is this even legal for them to do? And will we get in trouble if we hide his car until Friday when we can pay what’s supposedly owed? And can we dispute this with the credit bureau because it has tanked his score…
