They wouldn't be able to legally. However the gate would have to LOCKED and not just closed. It would need a lock and/or chain that would prohibit them from opening up the gate. I don't know the exact procedure that you could do legally but I would contact an attorney if I were you.
If it were MY car that was locked behind a gate, I'd cut the lock, take my vehicle and if I were taken to court, I'd offer to pay for the lock. But that's me, I certainly couldn't advise anyone else to do that.
One can make sure that their vehicle is locked up in a garage or behind a secure gate and one can install a tracker device into the vehicle which brings down the cost.
Yes, even if there is a locked gate they can reposes your vehicle.
No one has the right to enter your property to repo a vehicle. I your vehicle is out in the street, then its fair game. If you see the repo man coming but has not hooked up to your vehicle, you legally still have possession of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has made contact with the truck the vehicle belongs to him.
If you have a locked gate, they will find you vehicle and reposses it (even if you are in a public parking lot). My suggestion to you is voluntarily submit your vehicle to the lender. Call them first to make this arrangement. If it's too late, then let them take it.
No.Not if the gate is locked. They would have to get a warrent. * The repo man will not come with a warrant. The Sheriff might if the bank has sued and a court has issued a Writ of Replevin. They can come on your property and as long as they do no damage they can take the car.
No. However in most states it is a felony for someone to conceal a vehicle to prohibit a lender from repossesing it.
While there are some limitations (e.g., "peaceful repossession", can't enter a locked building or cross a locked gate), yes, they can.
Please note: If the gate is locked I am out and I do not want the grass cutting.
Laws vary by jurisdiction... they can never force their way into a locked building, enter any vehicle other than the one they're repossessing, or open a locked gate... in most jurisdictions, they can open an unlocked gate, so long as they do it within the laws requiring peaceful repossession.
There wasn't a Rose that was a made up story. Yes, the Titanic happened, but Rose and the Irishman would never have met. He would have been kept below decks and behind a locked gate.
Behind the Iron Gate happened in 1995.
