Yes. When the vehicle is repossessed it no longer belongs to you and there is no requirement to tell you where it will be stored.

What are the laws for being a repossession agent in Delaware?
Get yourself a business license and some clients.
Can a repossession agent take a vehicle without waiting for the borrower to show proof that payments have been made?
Yes. It is perfectly legal for a repossession agent to take possession of a vehicle when they are acting on behalf of the lender. The repossession agency does not have the option of allowing the borrower to retain the vehicle even though proof is presented that payments have been rendered. Such issues are strictly between the borrower and the lender. The lender and/or court being the only parties that can rescind the repossession action.
What legal steps can be taken if vehicle repossessed was taking from fenced in area?
In most cases none. All things being equal, it will be your word against the word of the repossession agent. Most repossession agents are very familiar with local judges and law enforcement. You defaulted on your loan note. It is likely the word of the repossession agent will carry more weight.
How do you become a epf agent without being a secret agent?

Is there a green warning sticker before vehicle repossession?
Not typically, in fact in several years experience in the industry, I have never heard of such a practice. Repossession, beyond being a waiting game, is a game of opportunity. When the repossession agent finds it, he will take it. The last thing any of them want to do is give you prior warning that they are on your trail, and to give you the opportunity to hide it and make their job more difficult.
Do repossession agents take a picture of the car before they try to take possession of it?
That is a decision made by the lender, and some do have photographs taken before the car is seized, but it is not a legal requirement. The repossession agent/agency does not assume responsibility for any damage to a vehicle that happens while it is being recovered.
Can a repo man proceed with repo after being ordered off property if he does not have a court order?
They can if they have an order for repossession. You can ask to see the order, and if they do NOT have the order, then they can not take the car. The repossession would become invalid without the order to take the car.
Can a car go through repossession without sending a right to cure-default notice?
The majority of states allow for a repossession as long as there is no "breach of the peace." There are a few states that require a Right to Cure letter being sent out roughly 20 days prior to a repossession. You need to check your state law.
Is it against the law to repo someones car if there barely a day late?
This might help you to visualize this better.Let's say the car payment was due on the 10th of the month. At midnight, you still have not made that payment, and at 12:01 am on the 11th, the repossession agent hooks up to your car in your driveway and drives away. No, it is not against the law, PROVIDED:The lender has contracted the agent to recover the vehicle.The lender has provided a legal order of repossession.And, the repossession agent has followed the repossession and collection laws of the US and the state.It is not likely that this would occur though. The logistics of the situation take time. This is part of the reason most lenders have a five to ten day grace period.The more likely scenario is that the payment was due on the 10th, was not paid, the five day grace has come, and the payment has not been made. During the five days since the 10th, the lender has contacted the repossession agency, has sent them an order for repossession (electronically), the account has been entered into the repossession agencies system, the account has been assigned to an agent, and at 12:01 am on the 16th, the repossession agent secured the car in your driveway and affected recovery.Your car being repossessed is not the fault of the lender or the repossession agency in most cases. In the majority of cases it is the fault of the borrower, either from personal failure or unforeseen circumstance.
If you have not paid the full down payment can you take the car back without it being considered a repossession?
Rachelle, try to make a deal with the lender to return the car without the repo. At least ASK them to do it. It is their choice.
Can Repo Investigator Charge me with Felony in Ohio for not finding my vehicle?
As a repossession investigator and agent liason, I can tell you that yes, in fact, I know of several instances of felony charges being filed against an individual for hindering repossession of a vehicle. Your lawyer's response may have been motivated more by the fact that he felt confident that he could successfully prevent prosecution, but nothing will prevent the vehicle from being repossessed aside from the destruction of the vehicle. In the event the possessor of a vehicle under repossession were to destroy a vehicle to prevent that repossession, he could then be charged with malicious destruction of private property and hindering a lender.
