What is the difference between a repossession and a writ of replevin?
Repossession is what is commonly thought of as a "REPO". A self-help repo is permitted by most states. "Writ of Replevin" is the other legal option that a few states require to do the same thing. The state makes money by requiring the Replevin. BOTH have the same effect on your credit. A repo is where a lender contacts someone to pick up the vehicle. You, at that time, do NOT have to surrender the vehicle. A "Writ of Replevin" is where the lender gets a court order signed by a judge for you to surrender the vehicle. It will be served by a Sheriff's officer, with the repo man in tow, and you will then have to let them take the car. Otherwise, you are in contempt and it is not worth it to defy a court order. That is the only time you have to surrender the vehicle.

How do your get a car you own off of someones property if they wont let you on the property?
If you can prove it's yours (title, payment book, registration is in your name, etc) then the police or constable are often willing to go to the property with you to keep the peace, while you load up/start up your vehicle and leave. If that's not an option, but you can prove it's yours, then hire a repo man, (look for "Asset Recovery") or ask a beater car lot or small bank who they use for repo's. Expect to pay somewhere around $300 for the repo, and be prepared for some minor damage.
