It isn't unheard of for a repo company to call your friends to try and find out where you and your car might be. Some people try and hide their car from a repo company so that it can not be repossessed.
A repo is a repo is a repo, credit wise.

Vehicles in Louisiana may only be repossessed by vol repo. That is the holder of the car must voluntarily release the vehicle. Repo agents in Louisiana may not engage in self help repossession.
A voluntary reposession reports on your credit report as a loss. The car company with take the car back and credit a portion of the balance which the owner/leaser still needs to pay on. The creditor will place the "voluntary Reposession" on credit bureau. All in all it will be reported as a charge off debt. If the original owner/leaser doesnt pay the remainder he/she can/will be collected from and could face legal action. A repo is a repo voluntary or not. Ruins your credit for 7 years. What generally happens is that it will be reported on your credit as a repossession. When you go for financing on something else, the repo will pop up and the potential lender will call the lender who reported the repo. When they find out it was a voluntary, it may actually lessen some of the blow of having a repo. But, yes, a repo is a repo.
If your lien holder repo's your vehicle, they can file a claim against your insurance for damage to the vehicle. The repo company itself would have no claim, because it's not their vehicle.
NO, in NO state can the repoman LEGALLY involve the police. repossession is a CIVIL matter. Calling and coming to your home?? YES, when you are in DEFAULT, the lender can repo the collateral.
It depends on the local state laws. Most of the time, nothing unless the repo agent finds it or the court issues an order for the person release the vehicle to the agent.
YES! reposession is a civil matter, reposession men have been sued over cases like this and lost. He should have approched you and stated he's there to repo the car because your behind on payments and if you declined, he should have left and came back later to get the car.
