Is it legal for a repossession company hired by the lien holder to call and leave a message stating you will be arrested if they have to get a sheriff?

NOT that I know of. call a local attorney for state specific advice. It's not a threat. Just a warning that IF YOU FORCE THEM TO APPLY FOR A WRIT OF REPLEVNA by refusing to surrender the car, you WILL BE ARRESTED. No! Creditors and/or their representatives cannot threaten to have you arrested or make threats period.

Can a reposession company move other cars to get to the one being repoed?
Not by themselves. For this to happen, a sheriff, marshal, or police officer would have to let them do so and be present. The sheriff and marshal does not need a warrant; they only need the repossession order and/or a court order. The court order is dependent on the situation.

File a lawsuit against you and the sheriff comes out and forces you to give up the car. Do not give it up and you will likely be in jail.
If you do not turn your car over and the financial institution gets a court order can you be arrested if the repossession agent shows up with police?
Cheryl, the court order will instruct the sheriff to bring the car in or the debtor if the debtor cant/wont produce the car. Its called a 'writ of replevin".If the car has been STOLEN, go file a police report NOW. Otherwise, there's NO reason for you not to be able to produce the car for the nice sheriff. If you loaned it to someone, you can get them to bring it back to you,right? You wont have those options when the sheriff comes for the car. It will be you or the car then. Good Luck

At what point can the sheriffs office assist in repossession?
The sheriff's office can't act without a court order. This is not especially difficult to obtain if the lienholder can show that the lessee (the person who obtained the loan for the property) has defaulted on the loan contract by not making their required payments. Once the judgment has been issued by the court, the lienholder can request the sheriff's office to assist in repossession. The sheriff's office may charge a fee for this service.Another View: Define "assist." If the SO receives a court order to "assist" in the repossession, that is what they will do. . . ASSIST. They will not physically remove the items by force of arms, or tow a vehicle, nor will they assist in hauling out the lienholders belongings, or the items referred to in the order.They will be present only to ensure that no breach of the peace takes place. PERIOD
Can you be arrested for a felony by driving a car that the bank is going to repossess in Pennsylvania?
Of course, you can be charged with any felony you commit, but I think you're asking if it is a felony to hide the car from the repossession agent. Technically, no. But, if you are obviously hiding it and the lender gets really PO'd, he can go to court and have a writ of replevna issued. Then the sheriff will come along with the repo man and they will leave with the car - or with you. The correct answer is: it not a felony to hide a car from creditors who are trying to reposses......period.This is a civil matter not a criminal matter.The writ is issued in rare cases.
