my husband and i have our own repo company in Ohio. we do alot of door knocks (try to make contact with the debtor) and sometimes we will try both front and back door. but we can not go snooping around. but if we find the unit we are going to do everything we have to to get that unit. just remember repo men get payed by the car not by hour. nichole Read your contract.
They can come onto your property because you gave them permission when you signed the loan.If it someone elses property that is trespass but after they have the vehicle the point is moot as long as they didn't damage the property.
Every state has its own rules, but the general rule of thumb is that an individual that works for a repo company can repo a car on prive property as long as the property is not locked (i.e. a locked gate surrounding the house, or if it's inside a locked garage).
Only a prosecuter can prosectute. It is legal to repo a car from anywhere as long as they dont "breach the peace" to get to it. That is, they cant break & enter or physically move you out of the way.
YES, they are allowed to by law and usually the contract you sign gives that in writing.
Yes. The objective of a repo man is to reposess property of people who have defaulted on their loans. A repo man will never ask for permission.
Yes as long as he does not go into a garage or cuts a lock to enter through a fence
yes you can repo on work property as long as the work does not tell you other wise IE most hospitals will not allow you to repo on there property
different states have different laws... and they vary greatly. did he cut the lock off? in my state repo men can't come onto private property to repo a vehicle. in most states if someone cuts the lock off your gate and takes your car... i guess that's break in and entry/trespassing/grand theft auto. i would be suprised if a state would allow a repo man to destroy your property(lock/gate) in order to repo it. if you have a lawyer... why aren't you asking him? the easiest way is to call the police and ask them... but they may not tell you everything... or they might not even know... good luck.
Yes they can, as long as it is the correct vehicle.
can a repo man open a closed gate
although it isn't wise for their safety yes they can, ASLONG as they are not opening any gates doors of any kind.
