Attempts to repossess any vehicle must take in to account and respect the "Maintaining the Peace" clause of the Federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. The definition of use of force however is not solely yours. The recovery agent may not in the recovery effort:

  • Damage property
  • Damage the unit
  • Physically assault or threaten to assault any party
Be advised that any attempt to file false charges against a recovery agent may result in you sitting in a jail cell for failing a false police report. Be further advised that any forceful or non-forceful action on your part to prevent the recovery of a vehicle with a valid repossession order could also be prosecuted.

No one has the right to enter your property to repo a vehicle. I your vehicle is out in the street, then its fair game. If you see the repo man coming but has not hooked up to your vehicle, you legally still have possession of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has made contact with the truck the vehicle belongs to him.
