Tow truck operators can legally perform a vehicle repossession (repo) if they have the proper authorization from the lender or financing company, and if the repossession is conducted without breaching the peace. This means they cannot use force, threats, or intimidation to take the vehicle. Additionally, repossession must typically be carried out in compliance with state laws, which may include notifying law enforcement or providing advance notice to the vehicle owner, depending on the jurisdiction.

Yes, an auto lender can use an investigator for repossession. This is often done to locate the vehicle and ensure that the repossession is conducted legally and safely. Investigators can help gather information about the borrower's whereabouts and the vehicle's location, which can streamline the repossession process while adhering to relevant laws and regulations. However, the lender must still comply with state laws regarding repossession practices.

No, a juvenile cannot enter into such an agreement and the repossession agent could be held legally accountable for attempting/taking part in such action.
I assume you mean a repossession of a vehicle if you let your insurance cancel. When you purchase a vehicle and finance the cost of the vehicle you sign a legally binding contract. One of the terms in the contract is always that you must carry physical damage auto insurance payable to the finance company if the vehicle is a total loss or damaged. If you fail to keep this insurance you have broken the contract and the vehicle is subject to repossession and you may be sued for additional damages if the value of the vehicle is less than the amount owed to the finance company.

Legally, no. This would fall under wrongful incarceration or kidnapping. The repo agent can block the vehicle in until that person gets out and then hook the unit. If the person re-enters the vehicle afterward then all bets are off. If the police are called in this situation, someone is likely to go to jail for breach of peace, and the repo agent has a legally binding notice of repossession.
