Which option describes a step NOT described as part of the typical vehicle repossession process?

When a borrower defaults on a auto loan, the process is driven by the lender and follows a sequence to protect the loan. The lender typically sends a default notification and may issue reminders to cure the default. If the debt isn’t brought current, the vehicle is repossessed, stored securely, and then sold—often at auction or through a dealer network—to recover what’s owed. A private sale by the owner without the lender’s involvement isn’t part of this established process because it bypasses the lender’s right to recover the collateral and the formal steps that govern repossession. In practice, voluntary sales can happen, but they usually involve some lender participation or consent, not a private sale occurring entirely outside the lender’s process.
