The state of Alabama is a self help repossession state, therefore a repossession agency is not required to notify you before they repossess your vehicle. Repossessors are under various state and Federal Laws and regulations and are prevented from breaching the peace among other things.

Can you trade in car before repo?

If the repo-man is looking for your vehicle, you do not own the vehicle yet. If you take the vehicle in for trade-in, they will have to contact the person who owns the vehicle to get permission to trade it (meaning whoever loaned you the money). Whoever they call is bound to mention that they are in the process of repossessing your vehicle. In alot of cases you need ownership of the vehicle and only a title can prove that to trade in a car.
