Sounds like the dealer jumped the gun for some reason and had no right to do the repo. And a repo vehicle sold without notice to the debtor usually means they can not collect anything from you for any deficiency. Here, if you were not behind and not in any breach of the finance contract then it makes no sense the bank would want all that money. To know your rigths for sure, you need to talk to a "autofraud" or "repo law" consumer lawyer near you. There are number of them listed for KY that you can find at the ConsumerAdvocate dot com website's "find a lawyer" page: L081250r062548* But act quick because for every legal right you have there is only a limited amount of time to file something in court or your rights expire and you are stuck with the situation. Good luck!
