Depends on jurisdiction but generally the answer is NO.
It is unlawful for any repossession agent to enter closed or gated private property
without permission
The purchase of most vehicles are covered under civil contracts between the buyer and seller and therefore repossession falls under civil law in which a ruling to repossess a vehicle must be obtained from a court after a ruling in the favor of the seller.
Still gated property or closed door property cannot be lawfully entered without permission and in some jurisdictions disregard for this by a repossession agent can be considered home invasion in which lethal force could be used against.
Sellers however can and do sue. Police can only assist in protective measures for repossessions that occur on public property or private property in which permission is granted .
You need to call the police in ANY state ASAP after repoing a vehicle.
Yes you can repossess if you are the soul owner. If the person whom your repossessing the car from gives you trouble, have the police meet you to witness the repossession.
No.
If the garage is attached to the home, yes they can search the entire premises.
In most states a repossessor must notify the police when they repossess a car. Contact the police to file the report and they will know if it was properly repossessed.
DO NOT STAY IN THE GARAGE!! Open the garage door and if the garage is attached to the house open house windows and doors. Call the police and get yourself to a hospital to be tested for poisoning. Then, buy CO detectors!!
Of course they are - Do you think police have to stand on trains?
First you will have to pay the tickets and the police will tell you from there.... don't wait to long because storage gets added to the cost.
First, repossesstion agents must be licensed and have a search warrant for whatever they want to repossess, but they are not police officers. If someone does not pay bills/taxes on any private property, they simply follow these steps: 1. let the owners know who they are and what they're doing and why 2. repossess what they were there to get 3. file a notice to the local/state police
no
Not if the police dont know. But in most cases yes.
