    Does your contract state how many days they have to return the car to you after you redeem the loan?

    Are you in communications with the lienholder as well? They should be able to push their hand along.

    I don't want to sound rude, but why did you send them the money if you haven't made an arrangement to get the car back, esp. if they said that it goes up for auction the first business day of next week?

    I'd find the contract and start digging up receipts for when they take you to court to pay the difference of the cost less what you've paid and what they get for the car at auction. Or you could review the contract to see if they acted contrary to the agreement and possibly take them to court.

    You might also try to go to the auction yard and get them to hold off on your car (or put it to the end of the list) and try to talk to the bank from there (long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained). However, if that doesn't work (depending on how the contract is worded) you should probably start shopping for a lawyer and another car.

    Well, if you complied with the agreement, then the bank should deliver your car. If the repo company moved your car, then they should move it back.

    You might need to get more assertive on the phone and work your way up the chain of command. But you will probably want to move quickly...
