Well, that's a matter of interpretation. The lender has the right in most states to self-help in recovering secured property. In the vast majority of matters, the borrower signed a right to cure, or there was a right to cure clause in the loan contract. This is your permission as the borrower for the lender to send someone to pick up your vehicle when you default on the contract. When you are one day late with your payment, you defaulted on the contract.

You can refuse to turn over the vehicle, but in many states you can be arrested for hindering a lender in recovery. Even in those states that do not have these laws, the lender can secure a replevin that orders you to surrender the vehicle. In the event you refuse to honor a replevin, you go to jail for contempt of court.

I guess it depends more on how much difficulty you want in your life. Think about too what you would want to happen if you loaned something to someone and they did not return it.

Can a repossesser come on to your gated property to take a vehicle in North Carolina?

Legally probably not,that assumes you do not own the propery or the property(like a private road) to get to your property so that would be trespass.But someone has to call the police to enforce the trespass violation.After the repo guy has the car there is not much you can do except to sue the lender or repo guy. Gated,YES.Gated and locked no.

Can a repo man come to your job and take your car while you are at work or can you stop him?

I worked with a guy that had the repo man come to work to take his vehicle, so yes they can come to your work. If you haven't been making the payments and they decide to repo your car that is that and I don't believe they have to go through any sort of legal procedures to come and take your car. You didn't pay so they come and take back their property, simple as that unfortunately for you.

If a car is parked in the garage can the repo guy take it for no home insurance?

A repo guy is likely to say anything to get your car. If he's looking for it, you owe the money and he gets to take the car. Hiding it in the garage will keep him at bay for only a short time. Whether or not you have homeowner's insurance does not factor into the equation.

Your car was repossess in ga Can you be charged by the repo company to retrieve your personal items in the car?

An INVENTORY fee is allowed. The lender or repo person is not entitled to your personal property it is yours they should not charge you for it.Repo guys often charge illegal fees to make more money.If they won't give you your p.p. call the cops then fill out a stolen report and sue the lender not the repo guy he is a chimp for the bank.


Where can you find NYS law on car repossession and recovery of personal property inside the vehicle?

Briefly, if they(the bank via repo guy) have the car its theirs until you bring your account current and they give it back but they are not entitled to your personal property or the plates. The repo guy will try and charge you bogus storage fees(for your p.p.) and try to get you to sign a wavier which absolves them and the bank of any and everything to do with the repo.This includes a statement that all of your p.p. are there so if stuff is missing(repo guys steal )or your car is damaged it makes it harder to sue.They will want you to sign it before you see your car or p.p. Do not sign !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another question you need to ask is do you want the car back? If you do want the car back you have little choice but to pay the extortion because each day that goes by is another $100.00 to store the car. If you do need to sue remember sue the lender not the repo guy.
