Dear Sir
You just visit in finance company and do the settlement. If you fail they will proceed arbitration award and execute the same In civil court of your local jurisdiction which is very costly for you. It's better to settle the matter with help of finance company officer or their legal officer.

Your matter is of arbitration. You or your representative have to appear first in order to get more details. You will have to get information regarding the vehicle auctioned sale amount, your total outstanding till the date of auction and further other charges incurred by the company in respect of recovery.
