Varies state by state. But the common theme is once the repo guy is in control, i.e. behind the wheel or has a tow hook ON THE VEHICLE, one cannot stop the repo.

Most jurisdictions consider this a 'civil problem' until one party assaults or makes threat of harm to the other.

This applies to both sides.

Some states allow a marshal or constable to standby to keep the peace for a court ordered repo.

In that situation, any attempt to resist will cause that person to be a guest in the Graybar Hotel.

Again, CHECK your states laws and regulations.

Can lender refuse to pick up car and still refuse to release title?

The title is only released when the debt or loan is paid in full. If you want the lender to pick up the car, I'm guessing that you can't or don't want to make the payments. The lender can refuse to pick up the car, but, if the debt remains unpaid, they will probably have the car repossessed which will negatively affect your credit rating.
