Taking property that you don't have a right to possess is generally theft. (And accusing someone of theft, who had a right to it, is probably illegal...at least as filing a false police report).

If you have failed to make payments as agreed in your loan, generally, the lender can take possession back as a step in the process of getting ownership.

Read your loan agreement...it probably spells out what you agreed and signed to...and it probably says...if you don't make payments...for any reason, the lender can take possession. There may well be some other things about how they may advise you of your default, and how you could take corrective action before repossession or correct an error. (Like correcting an accounting error as when they say you didn't pay but you have receipts proving you did. But you agreed to have the responsibility to act).

If you purchased a car at a "we tote your note" type place, since they maintain ownership/title of the vehicle until the loan is paid off (it remains their car)...and the agreement normally only gives you the right to possession as long as you timely make the payments...if your late on a payment, they can take possession.

What can police do if an unlawful repo is reported to them?

An unlawful repo is a theft. Hence it would be handled as such.

In fact, in most jurisdicitions they advise the police of it before, or right after, attempting the repo. What good would an unlawful repo do someone...they couldn't get title?

Is it legal to take your car back from title loan company after repo?

You're talking about trying to repossess it from the repossessor? Short answer, no. You're committing theft - possibly grand theft, depending on the vehicle's value. But the repo agent coming to repossess your car isn't commiting theft. Double standard? No. The thing of it is, it is NOT your car - the lienholder is the sole rightful and legitimate owner of the vehicle. The repo man isn't taking your car away - he's reclaiming the lienholder's property after you failed to meet the terms of the finance arrangement.
