Can a repo agent enter a garage with the assistance of the property management office to recover a vehicle that is alledgedly subject to repossession action?

Unless the repoman is dumb as a duck, he WONT try to repo a car that is not authorized by the leinholder. IF management lets him in the garage, then he can go get it.Sometimes management will go ahead and let us in to get us out of the way.

If the managment opens the doors yes the repo people can remove the vehichle The repo person can not open the door. the repo person has been told to recover the vehichle per the lien holder or they would not be there. I find that most lien holders would rather work something out to get account up to date then repo the car. The lien holder makes more money if they can get payment before repo.What I do not understand is why people hide the car , what good is the car if you can't drive it without looking over your shoulder wondering when they repo agent will show up and take the car so what good is a car you cant take out of the garage or drive?

What do you do if a lienholder has put a repossession on your credit report without retrieving the car with the damage already done to your credit?

First question is, was there a repo? Was the car NOT worth repoing? The lender doesnt have to retrieve the car on any certain day. You still have the option of paying off the loan.

If you have GAP insurance will the leftover balance be paid off when your car is repossessed?

Is it true that when you are behind in car payments and they have not been able to find the car to repo it the lender can file charges for theft?

It is true but not likely. The normal is to file a writ of REPLEVIN. The court has the sheriff come to get the car or YOU if you cant/wont produce the car. Just give it up and avoid all the extra charges ect.

Does the money received from an auction of the car go towards the debt owed even if you received a refund from it also?

What can you do if the repo company didn't return all of the items that were in your car when it was taken?

IF you didnt get all your PP back, you can complain to the LENDER who had the car repoed. If that doesnt get it back, you can contact a local attorney. Plz keep in mind that some sort of proof the items were IN the car will go a long way. If you are missing CASH, plz have a reciept that you actually had possession of an amount equal to or greater than what you are claiming. It helps if the reciept is dated in the week of the repo. Just be prepared BEFORE you make claims. It helps people to believe you quicker. Good Luck

When your car is going to be repossessed can you be arrested if the loan company can't find the car?

Under some circumstances, YES. Do you really want to go to jail for a car???? WHY cant they find a car YOU are supposed to be driving and paying for?? NO, you cannot be arrested....UNLESS, there is a "Writ of Replevin" (court order) that you must at that time turn the car over or tell the lender where the car is. Without the court order it is a civil matter and you CANNOT BE ARRESTED.

Do you have to pay a remaining balance if a bank repossessed your vehicle?

Not unless the bank auctions the car for less than if left on the loan (which is usually the case). Also, the only way to not owe after repo is file bankruptcy, in which you loose your liability on the car.

What can you do if your car loan was sold to a different finance company and the original company repossesses car without grounds to do so?

Will gap insurance help if your car is repossessed in Arizona?

You have the SAME rights the buyer has,pay it current,ins, it, pay the notes on time OR pay off the loan. That gets it out of repo. IF no one does that, your rights are still the same. You can be sued for the balance due after the lender sells the car.Your wages garniaheed,ect. The reason for repo is default NOT criminal action.
