Best Answer

A Writ of Replevin is a court order stating that you have to give up the car or possibly face jail time for contempt. This is if you are concealing the car. If the car is sitting in your drive, on the street or at your place of employment & it's up for reo then it's game on. The repo driver has every right to secure the banks collateral.

Can a customer remove vehicle from repair shop without paying?

Yes, under certain circumstances known as replevin, whereby a party is simply gaining possession of an item that belongs to them. Be careful, however, as one cannot lawfully break into a shop or scale a fence to remove a vehicle. If a vehicle is standing out in the open-parked on a lot of a service station or repair shop-and one has the keys it could be taken under replevin. Bear in mind, however, that the business will likely be able to place a mechanics lien or file a lawsuit to obtain money or payment for their services. I would also be certain to have the registration for the vehicle in your possession in case the police are called. The police will not arrest you for taking your own car, but if there is suspicion that you are doing otherwise, be prepared to offer an explanation and to be delayed by them for a time.

How much time would someone have to make payment once the creditor decides to file a writ of replevin or get the police involved?

There is no set time. You are gambling that things will fall into place before its too late. How long have you driven the vehicle now without paying? 4 months, 6 months, more???? Usually if a lender has to file a replevin, there is NO "catching up". The lender has lost faith in your ability and/or desire to perform the terms of the contract.

No. You are required to have your licence in your possession at all times when operating a motor vehicle. You can, but if you are stopped you may be issued a request to present your documents at a later date, sometimes this is called a 7 day wonder, to verify that the details given by the driver at the time they were stopped are correct, and also to validate that the vehicle was insured at the time.
