Most generally the agent must not breach the peace. There are specific laws pertaining to repossession agencies that are different in different states. However, for the most part, as long as the peace is maintained, and it is a self-help state, there is nothing more the agent must do.

My truck was reposessed and the repo company dragged my truck out of my gravel driveway and ruined the driveway. Plus they took my truck to another state almost 3 hours away. I plan on getting the truck back but I wonder if I have a case for compensation for my driveway and any damages to my truck by being dragged, and it being taken to another state?
This might help you to visualize this better.Let's say the car payment was due on the 10th of the month. At midnight, you still have not made that payment, and at 12:01 am on the 11th, the repossession agent hooks up to your car in your driveway and drives away. No, it is not against the law, PROVIDED:The lender has contracted the agent to recover the vehicle.The lender has provided a legal order of repossession.And, the repossession agent has followed the repossession and collection laws of the US and the state.It is not likely that this would occur though. The logistics of the situation take time. This is part of the reason most lenders have a five to ten day grace period.The more likely scenario is that the payment was due on the 10th, was not paid, the five day grace has come, and the payment has not been made. During the five days since the 10th, the lender has contacted the repossession agency, has sent them an order for repossession (electronically), the account has been entered into the repossession agencies system, the account has been assigned to an agent, and at 12:01 am on the 16th, the repossession agent secured the car in your driveway and affected recovery.Your car being repossessed is not the fault of the lender or the repossession agency in most cases. In the majority of cases it is the fault of the borrower, either from personal failure or unforeseen circumstance.
Call the police.They will sort it out for you.Your son cannot be arrested it is a civil not a crimminal matter. Absolutely call the police -- at the very least, the repoman is trespassing (assuming that it's YOUR home and not owned or rented by your son) on your property. Also, in many states, the repo agent MUST leave if asked to. To linger after being told to leave is trespassing and a "breach of the peace." Check with your local/state statutes on repossession laws!
If a borrower defaults on loan payments for a manufactured home in Michigan, the creditor can take the manufactured home. If the manufactured home is real property the repossession and foreclosure is on the manufactured home alone. If the home is being used for residential purposes, the home is repossessed according to personal property laws.
