Is it illegal to block a vehicle that is up for reposession in North Carolina?

Answer 1

If you're on private property, and the vehicle is parked in a manner which is deemed acceptable by the homeowner's association (if you're subject to one) or any other applicable laws/ordinances, then no. If, for example, access to the vehicle is blocked by another vehicle, there's nothing the repossessors can legally do - they're only permitted to enter the vehicle being repossessed. If there's a fence and a locked gate, they're not permitted to cross it.

However, it'll ultimately serve only to delay the inevitable. Repossessors often work like private investigators, and will stake out for an opportunity to acquire that vehicle. If you took that vehicle to work, they would most likely acquire it during that time, and you'll find out when the repossessor comes into your place of work asking if you'll hand over your keys. Once they've got a vehicle hooked to the vehicle they're repossessing, that vehicle is theirs - with or without the keys - and there's really nothing you can do about it at that point. The worst thing you can do is try hiding the vehicle and telling them you don't know where it is - at that point, they go to the police and report it as stolen.

So, unless you plan on keeping that vehicle there and leaving it blocked, it's a bit pointless a thing to do. If they want it bad enough, they're going to get it.
