Becoming a repossession company in Louisiana?

When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car.

Talking with Your Creditor

It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late.

Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying.

Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report.

Seizing the Car Effective January 1, 2005, Louisiana's Act 191 ( "Additional Default Remedies Act" ) and Act 814 ( "Notice of Repossession" ) permit a "secured party" or "a lessor" to take possession of collateral without judicial process provided: 1. ) the Security Agreement, or lease, contains the following specific wording: "Louisiana law permits repossession of motor vehicles without judicial process", 2. ) prior to taking possession, a notice of intent is sent to all debtors, in writing, containing the specific wording: "Louisiana law permits repossession of motor vehicles without further notice or judicial process", 3. ) a "payment" default exceeding 30 days ( monthly installment contracts ) or 60 days ( weekly or bi-weekly contracts ) exists, 4. ) no "breach of the peace" occurs in the act of retaking, 5. ) the individual who physically repossesses collateral must be licensed by the State of Louisiana-Office of Financial Institutions, 6. ) in the event a tow truck is used, the owner, or operator, shall possess a common carrier certificate issued by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and 7. ) within three days of taking possession, the secured party files a "Notice of Repossession" with the recorder of mortgages in the Parish where the collateral was located and with the appropriate official Constable of the Justice of The Peace Court, Constable or Marshal of the City Court or the Parish Sheriff as determined by the debtor's last known address. Fees of $75.00 to the "Recorder of Mortgages" and $250.00 to the appropriate "official" must be paid at the time of filing. Both a "Notice of Sale" and a "Notice of Disposal" are follow-up requirements and prerequisites to perfecting a deficiency ( R. S. 10 : 9-613, et seq. ). Act 670 allows a motor vehicle dealer to use self-help if a prospective purchaser fails to return a credit rejected vehicle 25 days after delivery and after 48 hrs. notice.

Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property.

A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation.

Selling the Car

Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold.

In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale).

In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession.

The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable.

Paying the Deficiency

A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing.

In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract.

Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense.

If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment.

Why do people in Louisiana speak french?

The same reason you hear a lot of Spanish in San Antonio or Itallian in New York. People have just moved over here from French speaking countries and brought their language and other cultural ideas with them.

For instance, if you notice my last name is "LeCompte", and I reside outside of New Orleans(a settlement launched from Orleans, France), LA. You can trace my family line back to Quebec(a heavily french speaking territory in Canada) and then from there to mother France.

But no, I don't actually speak much French at all. If you dropped me off in France, I wouldn't starve and die in the streets; but I wouldn't be chatting anyone up either.

What effect did the purchase of Louisiana have on the United states?

It had many effects. It doubled the size of the US and in later years made us wealthy from all the gold and silver within it. The most significant effect is most likely the Homestead Act. Because the land was purchased so cheaply, ($15 million), the government passed the Homestead Act which promised 160 acres free to any citizen or prospective citizen who settled on the land for 5 years. This, along with the hope to become rich off of the gold and silver, spurred a massive western expansion as Americans moved into the territory gained from the Louisiana purchase.

What was the reason that Jefferson wanted the Louisiana territory?

Thomas Jefferson mostly wanted the port of New Orleans so that the United States could control the gateway to the Mississippi River.

By making the purchase, Jefferson also removed France's influence in the region and allowed for US expansion.
