Till they find it.
Yes, as long as there is no breach of peace. The repossession agent cannot break a lock or damage property. They can only recover the vehicle which is behind a fence only if it is accessible.
I don't think there is a statute of limitation on repossession of a vehicle anywhere as long as there is an overdue payment outstanding.
Yes, as long as the repossession agent did not commit a breach of peace as defined under the laws of the state or municipality in which the vehicle was recovered.
Yes, a repossession agent can repossess your car even if your dog is inside, as long as they are legally allowed to take the vehicle. However, laws vary by location, and some states have specific regulations regarding the welfare of animals during repossession. If you are concerned about this situation, it’s advisable to remove your pet from the vehicle before the repo occurs.
Forever Adding: I believe the questioner may actually mean to say - does the lien holder have to wait to sell it. Perhaps he doesn't understand that after repossession, it is then "their", that is the lenders, vehicle.
No, as long as you have verification of who your repoing it for or if you have the title and papers saying they owe you.
Legally search for WHAT?
Yes, in at least two scenarios:If the property owner gives permission to the repo agent to enter and take the vehicle, provided there is no free access to it: i.e. it is gated or the vehicle is tored in a structure.If the repossession agent has free access to secure the vehicle. That is, if the agent does not have to remove locks, or enter a structure.Here's a common misconception though. Many debotrs believe that if they live in a gated apartment complex that the driver cannot enter to secure the vehicle. Not true. Provided the driver has not been served a notice of trespass by the property owner, he has access to the property as long as he can secure access. Security gates are not infallible, they can be circumvented.You contracted to pay the loan. You signed the right to cure. You gave your permission for the vehicle to be repossessed in the event you defaulted. You did default and the repossession agent did his job. If you continue to refuse to honor you contracted obligation, you will still pay what you owe. It's just a matter of time and sometimes legal process.
Yes. The repossession agent may recover the vehicle so long as he has free access to it, on private property, public property, federal property (with the proper permits), even a limited (key card) access parking garage so long as he is given access to the garage. Keep in mind that hindering the repossession of a vehicle is a crime in most states. In situations when this has happened, the agent or the lender may seek a replevin. In the event a replevin is acquired, it will be served by a law enforcement officer accompanying the recovery agent, you will be ordered to surrender the vehicle, and your failure to do so will land you in jail and the LEO will supervise the recovery of the vehicle anyway. Your choices then, when a vehicle is up for repossession is to surrender the vehicle voluntarily, or give the recovery agent grief and give him a reason to take it when it is easiest for him and most inconvenient for you. Consider that recovery agencies are in the very specialized business of finding and securing vehicles that those who haven't paid for them are trying to hide. In six years of skip tracing, no one ever got away from me, and there are skip tracers out there far more skilled than I.
30 days and 20 minutes dude
10 years, a repossession will stay on your credit for 10 years.
Most generally the agent must not breach the peace. There are specific laws pertaining to repossession agencies that are different in different states. However, for the most part, as long as the peace is maintained, and it is a self-help state, there is nothing more the agent must do.
