Nope. That would be kidnapping. In some states they call that kidnapping or child abduction.

Can a repossession man call the sheriff in Missouri to help get a car?
Absolutely and most times, if the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repo the vehicle, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. Remember, if you have an unpaid loan on your car, it isn't yours until it's paid in full.
Do a repossessor have to tell the person why they taking their car?
No, although they typically will if confronted by the owner.
Can a repo man take your car at gunpoint in wv?
Why would he need a gun? The repo man has the right to seize your vehicle if you are behind on the payments and have not worked out a new payment schedule with the lender. Perhaps you acted like a knucklehead when the repossessor showed up. Did you threaten the repossessor with violence? Did you point a gun at him? Anyone may carry a loaded gun in West Virginia, so long as it is not concealed. Perhaps the repossessor carries a holstered gun for his own protection. That is not the same as taking your car at gunpoint. People who take your car at gunpoint without legal authorization from a lender are called thieves -- just like people who borrow money to buy a car and fail to pay it back.
Can a repossessor of a vehicle take the car out of your garage what if you are living in a rental property?
Yes they can. I was renting and had my car in the garage. When I saw them come to take the car I freaked out! It was like I was watching someone rob me blind when in reality I was robbing them by not having made the 4 payments. No sweat, I was able to get another car the very next day - even after I admitted my car was just repossed.
How do you know if your car was repossed or stolen?
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.
How many trips does a repocesser make to pick up a car?
Average attempts is 2 but a good repossessor may average 1.5.
Can you find my car by the VIN if it was stolen or repossessed?
There are certain strict procedures that an automobile repossessor must follow when he is repossessing your car. The repossessor must notify the police that such vehicle is being repossessed, you did before or after the repossession has occurred. In either case, the police should know right away that the vehicle was repossessed. If this is not the case, then the vehicles like to have been stolen.
Can the lender take your home and land for the deficiency owed on a leased car that was voluntarily repossessed in the state of South Carolina?
Most repossession laws are vertually identical, except for small variations, the law in the U.K. is, if you have not got in writing from the repossession company that when you hand back the car, that this will be "In full and final settlement" they can come after the leasee/garauntor for the short fall. But, if the garauntor has not secured his property against the lease/loan the repossessor has to start a small claims against the leasee and then to the garauntor, at this point the judges do not favour the repossessor. In any instance as far as i am aware you must always try to deal directly with the repossessor,(who will try to put his/her charges on top)and get a settlement figure from them in writing, DO NOT accept a telephone answer as this will give you no chance of proof if they decide to take you to court. At the end of the day they only want to get there money, but bare in mind that at some point you or the leasee paid a deposit to get the lease and must have made some payment before the repossession started to take place, this must be deducted before the repossessor puts his/her charges on to the final settlement. Again, the judge will not favour the repossessor if you are in financial difficulty and have made every effort to avoid court action.
How do you find out if a car in your shop is in repossession status?

Can your car be repossessed from your job's parking lot?
When a car is up to be repossessed, the repossessor can take it from wherever he or she finds it: your home or your driveway, job or church parking lot, friend's, relatives, shopping mall parking lot, street parking, or wherever they catch you out of the car. In most states, they cannot break into a garage but they can take the car if the garage door is up. They can take it even if you try to hide it. It's far better to call your creditor and work out paying your missed payments.
What types of damages can you recover in an action against the repossessor if he or she violated certain repossession laws?
IF they damaged your lawn, they will have to repair the damage. Fix the car if they broke it. beyond that, your attorney will advise you.
Can the finance company repo your car when you have a title with no lien?
Yes. The note creates a lien, regardless of whether it is officially recorded on the title. If the lien is not on the title, this will merely create some extra work for the repossessor when they try to sell the car.
