First and foremost, a lender isn't required to alter or amend the terms of a loan agreement because a debtor can't pay what was agreed to be paid on time.
If you aren't paying your note on time and in full, you have probably breached your lending agreement and subject to some unpleasant and disagreeable sanctions.
No one has been mean or abusive towards you.
Don't confuse opinions that disagree with your view as mean, just because people don't say what you wish to be said.
People are merely offering you their opinion, which you can choose to ignore.
I suggest you start by reading the purchase contract and all other documents you signed related to the sale of the vehicle.
That is where you will find ALL of the answers to ALL of your questions related to the repossession of the vehicle.

Wisconsin Legislature: 425.209
Wisconsin Lawyer: Wisconsin's New Automobile Repossession Law: Creditors in the Driver's Seat:
Creditors now can declare consumers in default and repossess motor vehicles without court intervention. The enactment in April 2006 of 2005 Wis. Act 255 puts creditors firmly in the driver's seat and leaves consumers waving goodbye to their vehicles and consumer protections.
On April 13, 2006, Wisconsin's motor vehicle repossession law changed in a significant way when provisions took effect that allow creditors to repossess motor vehicles without judicial process. This article reviews changes in the repossession law and provides an overview of some of the problems these changes create for consumers, creditors, lawyers, and the courts. In addition, this article briefly discusses how the changes in the repossession law are emblematic of the slow but steady erosion of consumer rights previously enshrined in the Wisconsin Consumer Act.
A scenario:
To illustrate the significance of the changes in the repossession law, assume you are a general practitioner representing individuals in a variety of areas, including handling the occasional consumer protection case. You have a working knowledge of Wisconsin's law of repossession, enough to know that the law does not take kindly to so-called "self-help repossession," that is, repossession without a court order. One day, a potential client, a single mother of three young children, comes to your office claiming the used car she bought was repossessed from her driveway early that same morning. She had fallen behind in her car payments after being laid off from her job. She received a letter a few weeks ago from the financing company but ignored it because it contained lots of "legal words" and she was preoccupied with looking for work while raising her three kids. She insists that she never received notice of a court hearing or a post-hearing judgment. That she would have paid attention to.
You start to think your new client may have a very solid case of illegal self-help repossession, which would entitle her to significant damages: the return of her car (or its value at the time of repossession if it was resold) and reimbursement of all of her payments to date, plus her attorney fees.
She leaves your office with a decidedly lighter step than when she arrived. You start to research the most recent version of the Wisconsin Consumer Act, and your heart sinks. You call her an hour later and tell her that she probably does not have a case, her car is most likely gone forever, and if she owes more than $1,000 on the vehicle, she may be liable for a deficiency judgment.
This scenario is not far-fetched, given recent changes in Wisconsin's long-standing repossession law.
