Most usually they are empowered to take items where you haven't made the payments. If both the truck and trailer were being repossessed, then you are stuck.
They can pull the kingpin latch on the fifth wheel - that is all they can do. They cannot physically move the trailer.
he cannot take the truck while the trailer is attached. But he can unhook it then take the truck. Just put locks on the chains and the hitch. He could still cut the locks off...but ???
No. The repossessor can only take the unit they were contracted to repossess. Taking any other vehicle (which includes a trailer) is a felony, and a separate felony will be assessed if there's a load in that trailer.
Repo man took my truck and my 24 ft trailer with 5k+ of tools on it. The trailer and tools are not on the loan and this has not been returned to me. He also knocked over my mail box. I have done a police report and was advised to contact them and try to work something out. There was some one that was supposed to buy the trailer in the morning, but that sale has been lost now. The officer as well entered in the police report the amount that the trailer was to have been sold for. The repo company nor the car lot have returned my rightful property to me, and I am signing warrants in the morning on them.
Yes. If he has a repo order, it is no longer YOUR truck.
Probably not. He'd probably ask you to get out of the car.
A repo man uses tools that can break locks and chain up moveable assets. A common tool for every repo man is the tow truck. The truck needs chains, lifts and a pulley system to work effectively.
10% of the pay off they wont take it from you and let you keep your ride....
You can be arrested.
The LENDER is responsible.
Go to the banks and Savings and Loans or any place where they give Auto Loans and ask if they need a repo man. But you must have your own truck.
Yes. He's not going to drive your car. He's going to hook a wrecker (tow truck) to it and tow it to a holding lot.
