Concealment of a car up for repossession in Florida is a felony. You can be charged with hindering a lender in repossessing a vehicle, or even grand theft auto. Additionally, the state of Florida will not permit you to register any vehicle in your name if you have an active repossession against you.

Does repossession show on your credit report as soon as the car is taken or after it is auctioned?

It can show at any time. A repossession is compleated as soon as the car is picked up so it does not matter what happens after the repossession it still did happen.


Is it a felony or crime of any kind in the state of texas to hide a car that is up for repossession?

Yes, it is a crime, if the 'secured party' (the party who orders the repossession) has demanded the car be handed over to them, then it is a crime to conceal it. You do NOT have to have been informed of anything by the repossession agent themselves. The only notification is that the secured party wants the car back. If you were to conceal the car in these circumstances, then under the Texas Penal Code, you would be 'Hindering Secured Creditors' (Section 32.33). If the car is worth less than $1500, it is a misdemeanor of varying degrees. If the car is worth $1500 or more, then it is a felony, of increasing severity for higher values.

You won't be arrested and the police won't come after you it is a civil matter not criminal. You may be right, you won't be arrested and the police won't come after you but if it's a Felony in California and Florida to hide a vehicle from repossession, how is that a civil matter? Sounds criminal to me but nobody will enforce it.

What if your car is registered in North Carolina but you move to Florida under a repossession?

Ouch! If your vehicle is up for repossession and you have moved from any state to Florida, you may find it difficult to register it or any other vehicle in Florida until the repossession matter is settled. Additionally, you can be criminally prosecuted in Florida if you attempt to hinder the lender in securing their collateral. Further, the repossession agents in much of Forida are among the best in the country, and the ratio of camera cars is pretty high; your vehicle will be found, and they will take it, probably at the most inconvenient time for you.
