About KeepMyCar.org
Our Mission
KeepMyCar.org was created to help car owners understand their rights, communicate effectively with lenders, and find legitimate options before repossession occurs.
We believe that with the right information and tools, many people can prevent car repossession and navigate financial hardship more successfully.
Who We Are
KeepMyCar.org is an independent educational resource created by financial educators and developers based in California. We are not:
- Affiliated with any lenders, banks, or auto finance companies
- Connected to repossession agencies or collection companies
- A law firm or legal services provider
- A licensed credit counseling agency
Our independence allows us to provide unbiased information focused solely on helping consumers.
What We Offer
All our resources are completely free and include:
- Free Tools: Repo countdown calculator, hardship letter generator, and debt relief quiz to assess your situation
- Educational Articles: Comprehensive guides on repossession laws, consumer rights, credit impact, and financial recovery
- State-Specific Information: Details on repossession laws and consumer protections in your state
- Practical Resources: Step-by-step guidance for communicating with lenders and understanding your options
Why We Built This Site
Car repossession is a serious issue affecting millions of Americans. We recognized that:
- Many people don't know their rights when facing repossession
- Lenders often have hardship programs, but consumers don't know to ask
- The difference between 30 and 60 days behind can determine whether you keep your car
- Clear, actionable information can help people make better decisions under stress
We wanted to create a trusted resource that empowers people with knowledge and practical tools during one of the most stressful financial situations they may face.
Our Approach
We focus on three key principles:
- Education First: We believe informed consumers make better decisions. Our content is research-based and updated regularly.
- Practical Tools: We provide calculators and generators that help you take immediate action, not just read about options.
- State-Specific Guidance: Repossession laws vary significantly by state. We provide targeted information for your location.
