reposession
When you don't pay for it.
The collection agency cannot reposses the vehicle unless they are the lien holder. If they are, they do not need an order of replevin to seize the vehicle unless they live in one of the few states that require such. If the collector does not hold the lien on the vehicle they will be required to file suit against the debtor, receive a judgment and execute said judgment as a forced sale or a lien of/on the judgment debtor's vehicle.
