What the borrower can do to get the vehicle back
A pre-repossession right to cure by paying only the arrears, the same shape as Wisconsin and Kansas. A creditor may neither accelerate the unpaid balance nor take possession of the collateral until twenty days after giving the consumer a notice of right to cure (Section 5-5-110), and until that period expires the consumer may cure all defaults consisting of a failure to make the required payment by tendering the amount of all unpaid sums due at the time of the tender, without acceleration, plus any unpaid delinquency or deferral charges; cure restores the consumer to his or her rights under the agreement as though the defaults had not occurred. Limited to once every 12 months on the same obligation (defaults on a mobile home have a separate, third-default limit). our reading
