How late on payments do you have to be before your car can be repoed in Kentucky?

One day. Typically it takes the lender a week or more, usually a month before they send out the order of repossession. If you are trying to figure out the float on how long it is safe to be delinquent, don't bother. Once you have gone into repossession, the lender can still have your vehicle picked up, even if you pay current. You breached a contract, the penalty of that is the surrender of the secured property, the car. Do what you have to to pay the note, or be honorable and surrender the vehicle.
