No you cant be taken to jail for that you have done no crimes at all it is not a crime not being able to pay your car even if you do it on purpose, not paying for the vehicle. Other wise allot of people would be taken to jail especially now with the economy down.

If vehicle is in repossession phase and you are pulled over will you go to jail for auto theft?

No. Not if the circumstances are as simple as stated. Repossession is a civil law procedure, not involving criminal law -UNLESS- the vehicle HAD already been re-possessed and you went and took it back from the repossession impound lot, or the repossession agent or the bank. If it had already been taken and impounded then, yes, you could be charged with auto theft.

Can they put you in jail for having a lean on your car?

No, the lender can not have you put in jail because they have a lien on you car. They can press charges against you in many states if your vehicle is up for repossession and you attempt to hide it or hinder the agency hired to secure it from recovering your car. Or, if the lender secures a replevin and you still refuse to turn over the vehicle, you will go to jail then for contempt of court.

Can you be threatened with repossession for having been arrested?

You being arrested has no bearing on your loan. As long as you make the payments on time there will be no repossession. The loan company does not care if you are in jail as long as they get their money.


Can a bank report the car stolen if you dont give the car back?

Sort of. In many states hindering repossession is a crime. It is not exactly grand theft auto, but it is comparible. More often than not, the lender would obtain an order of replevin, a court order for you to surrender the vehicle. When the repossession agent returns with this order, if you still refuse to turn over the vehicle, the law enforcement officer accompanying the agent will arrest you and take you into custody, and then you will surrender the vehicle or remain in jail.


Can you go to jail if you hide your car from the repo man in Wisconsin?

It is possible; Wisconsin is a self-help repossession state. Hiding the vehicle is called hindering repossession and is comparable to auto theft. When you purchase a car by loan, you do not technically own the car outright. You own it cooperatively with the loan provider. When you default on your loan, you give up the rights you had to the vehicle, and via lien law, the loan provider now owns the vehicle. Therefore it is not yours to hide.

Can the repo or tow truck person threaten a person about jail?

It is illegal for anyone to threaten anyone with jail time. However, repossession drivers may as a rule warn debtors that if they do not surrender the vehicle that the potential for arrest exists. This is not a threat. Many lenders will automatically authorize the petition of replevin when a debtor refuses to cooperate. If a replevin is served on a debtor and that debtor refuse to surrender the vehicle, he is likely to be arrested, and held until he surrenders the vehicle, or a judge is satisfied with the time the debtor serves for contempt of his order.
