It depends on which state you live in, so check the law. In Florida, anything inside a towed or repossessed car is still the property of the owner. The repo company may have a right to take back what property they own by default (in this case, you car for non-payment); however, they have no legal right to keep your other property or charge you for its return. That is considered theft. You can call your local PD or courthouse and they can tell you what to do. If it is considered theft in your state, call the police and they will respond to the repo company to help you retreive your property.

What are the state laws for vehicle repossession in Maryland?

AnswerI have recently learned that the Department of Finance regulates collection agencies as well as finance companies. I was emphatically told that in a vehicle repossession, the towing company/repo company cannot, repeat, cannot charge a separate storage fee for your personal belongings. They belong to you. If you are told that they can charge for the goods, the goods, under the credit law means the good that can be repossessed under the loan which is the vehicle or the home, not the personal belongings. Call your local Consumer Protection agency to get help. I know this is the law in Maryland for a fact. It took me 30 days, but I am going to pick up my personal belongings tomorrow and I do not have to pay a storage fee for them.
