It's not unusual for banks to not repo a car that has no value. There are probably thousands of stories of folks with a car wasting away in their driveway that they can't get rid of because they don't have thet title and even the scrap yards won't touch it.
If you were rebuilding your credit, why did you want a new repo on it?
Placea lien on it as an abandoned vehicle. Send them a letter stating you will begin charging a storage fee if its not picked up. Go to the DMV to get title as an abandoned vehicle.

Question: do I place the Lien first? Or send the letter letting them know that I am going to do so first? What order do I do these things? 1. Letter of intent to charge storage fee 2. If no response, go to DMV and get title for abandoned vehicle 3. We get to keep it? Is that right? Thanks for your help!
Send a letter to them stating they have been notified to pick up the vehicle and if not picked up (within so many days - 10, 30, whatever) you will consider it to be an abandoned vehicle and the legal owner may be subject to a storage fee (you might have to inquire what the legal limit is for vehicle storage fee is in your state - in Ca it used to be $50 per day). They cannot legally let the vehicle continue to occupy your driveway indefinitely without just compensation - either surrender of the title or the payment of reasonable storage fees.
Inquire at your DMV as to the process for claiming title to an abandoned vehicle on your property if the ownder does not pick it up after being notified (via certified letter). There will be some sort of time limit involved I'm sure, and you may or may not need to file a lein against it for storage fees - just depends on your state laws.

Certainly would not hurt to get some professional advice.

You would most likely do a small claims case for the storage fees and the lien would be based on that.
