A repo man can check under the hood of a car to make sure it's the right car. They will look under to check that the vin number matches the vin number of the car they are repossessing.
Not really, but a a repo man can with the right paper work scan and check come on to the base and take the car.
no.
No
An unlawful repo is a theft. Hence it would be handled as such. But most repo companies have the documentation to show they have the right, whether you feel so or not, to take possession of the vehicle. In fact, in most jurisdicitions they advise the police of it before, or right after, attempting the repo. What good would an unlawful repo do someone...they couldn't get title?
Only if they do not have the correct paperwork from the finance company whom has the right to repo the vehicle.
They check the v.I.n.
The actual repo expenses will probably be on the order of $350 or so. However, the "repo man" doesn't have the legal right to give you the car back, because it does not belong to you, it belongs to the lender until you pay it off. (Technically, you have a shared interest in it; your equity in the car is whatever it's worth at wholesale/auction prices minus the amount remaining on the debt.)You'd need to contact your lender and see what they require in order for you to get the car back; this could range from "bring your account current and pay the repo expenses" to "pay off the loan completely and the repo expenses." Just don't wait too long or you could be told "We've already sold it, and it didn't bring enough to cover your remaining debt, so you owe us the difference. Including the repo fee, that comes out to $5280. When can we expect your check?"
Supposedly there are nine recovery agent schools in Fla. See the links to the right.
It differs by states. Some aloow 10 days ,some until the lender makes a sale on the repo. Check with a local attorney.
most of them are in with the bank which you got the loan from so they have your vin number and your address and where you work in most cases cover your vin and most of the time they wont take it cause they have to be 100% that it is the right vehicle

NO, but you can get it repaired. Do you have any proof that it was the repo that damaged it?
