The last time I was called a newbie was in Vietnam in August 1967. Can a person find a car that was taken by his Credit Union while he was in the service because of not paying the payments. I know now that it was against the law but to late. I still have the VIN. number. Any ideas. thanks. 1partshelp
Probably not, but one question.
WHEN did the repossession take place? In 1967, or last week?
In any event, though, the likelihood of finding this car very much depends on the last time you can verify that it still existed. If it was 1967 that you last saw it, it could very well be scrapped and in a landfill or part of a bridge somewhere by now. If it was recently, though, you would want to see if the DMV of the state you think the car is in has it in their records. But privacy laws have gotten very tight in recent years, and, if the car is in a state's records as still being on the road, they might very well tell you this, but they might not give you the name and address of the owner.
Motor vehicle registrations are handled at the state level, not nationally, so there is no central repository of information where you can go, type in the VIN, and out pops the car's current status. You have to search state by state, and the ease of doing this very much varies from state to state.
