Does the repossession agent have to let you take the plates of of the car in Missouri?

Last i looked the plates STAY WITH THE DEBTOR. Maybe he planned to drive your car all weekend. Was it a nice ride? CALL the LENDER Monday morning and get it straight.

The plates belong to you, not the lender, nor the repo man. They are registered to you and are your property and responsibility.

If the plates were used on another vehicle that was involved in a crime or accident, and someone wrote down the tag number, the information would come back to you, and you would have alot of explaining to do.

If the car was reposessed with the plates still attached, and you can prove that, then the headache is with the repo man. He is responsible for the car and the personal property left with it. Once they take the car with the plates still attached, it's on them.

Can they move another car to get to the one they need to repossess?

Some do, some dont. I dont.

They are not supposed to but that doesn't mean won't

Is it considered 'breach of peace' for the repossession agent to tow another vehicle out of the way to repossess a vehicle?

Yes. In some states I am not sure about all. A repo man cannot move another vehicle to get to the car he needs, nor can he come into a shut or locked garage to retrieve the car. They are supposed to just wait until they are able to pick the car up without breach of peace. That is when you can take them to court for trespassing and all you have to do is tell them to leave and they have to. They can even bring the cops out if they want, all that is for is to keep the peace but some people think the police are now involved and they have to turn the car over. Not the case. The only way that does any good and the cop can enforce the repo is if the sherrif has signed (a paper, it's called something I forgot, you can google it)

What state are you in? It depends on what the courts have upheld as to BOP.

california

usal repoers can not move some thing to get you car no matter what state

If your car is repossessed for being three payments behind can the bank refuse to give the vehicle back if you pay the repo fee and catch up your payments?

Read the contract again. What part of it are you in DEFAULT on? There is a clause in most contracts that says the lender can accelerate the balance due for a number of reasons.

If someone has to have a car voluntarily repossessed would the car payment be the same or can it be reduced?

That needs to be discussed with the LENDER before you let it get repoed. Better yet, discuss while you are current on the payments. If you're in a temp shortage, they might work with you on getting around it. If its NOT temp, they will likely want all the money due at one time. TALK to the LENDER about it. Good Luck

If you have two car loans at one bank can the bank repossess both even though one loan is current?

YES, IF the loans contain a CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION clause. Were you in DEFAULT of any other conditions of the loans? INS.???

Can the financial institution holding your car loan sue you for the deficiency after a voluntary repossession of your car in Virginia?

I didnt see any limitations as to HOW the repo occured. § 8.01-427. Persons entitled under decree deemed judgment creditors; execution on decree.

The persons entitled to the benefit of any decree or order requiring the payment of money shall be deemed judgment creditors, although the money be required to be paid into a court, or a bank, or other place of deposit. In such case, an execution on the decree or order shall make such recital thereof, and of the parties to it, as may be necessary to identify the case; and if a time be specified in the decree or order within which the payment is to be made, the execution shall not issue until the expiration of that time.

If your car was repossessed voluntarily sold in auction for over 5000 dollars why would the finance company still want an amount over 10 thousand dollars?

OK, you signed a contract agreeing to pay ABC lender "X" dollars per month for "X" months. That = "XXXXX.00" dollars.Lets say $20000.00 for even numbers. You paid them 3000.00, the car sold for 6000.00. That's $9000.00 that has been applied to that account. But that leaves $11000.00 still due on that contract that you agreed to pay. They likely got a judgment for that amount and will now proceed to collect that judgment. Good Luck

Is it illegal to take a car back from the recovery people after it has been repossessed?

It is illegal ALL day long and in EVERY state to do so. DONT DO IT. "EVERY" state includes CA and FL.

If your auto is "repoed" then in most states the agent has to report to the local authorities. When this is done they have a record that it is in the agents' or lenders' possession. if you still have keys and take it, it is auto theft.

It is only illegal if you get caught trespassing something repo man do everyday.It is not auto theft!!!it is your car !!!Having said that don't do it!!!!It is not worth it!!

When repossessing a vehicle on private property can the repo co take the vehicle without serving some kind of paper work in North Carolina?

YES, repoing a car is NOT trespassing. They are there for a lawful reason. IF you ask for paperwork, it would be polite for a recovery agent to show you the papework. Unfortunately, FEDERAL privacy laws PROHIBIT showing personal info(repo paperwork) to anyone other than the debtor.

If you are separated will you be responsible for half the debt if the your husband's car is repossessed if your name is not on the loan?

IF your name is NOT on the loan as co-signor or signnor, NONE. IF you live in a community property state, check with an attorney for info on that.

Do you need a writ of repossession in order to pick up a vehicle?

No. Tennessee law simply states that the lender or it's agent may not "breach the peace". This is usually viewed as causing a loud scene. Most repo agents will pick up the car when the owner is asleep or out somewhere shopping to avoid a confrontation.

If you need to repossess a vehicle what do you have to give the repossession agent?

Copy of the loan showing the truck as collateral, statement from you saying the loan is in DEFAULT, Debtors info,ect. Varies a little by state. Call one and ask. YOU might want a copy of their REPO INSURANCE in case they mess up.

If your car was repossessed but redeemed by the cosigner can the bank report a repossession on your credit but not on the cosigner's?

VERY possible. reporting repos is up to the LENDER(of course, they usually do). It was very much repoed from you sooo. Nothing you can do about the co-signor having or not having a repo on their credit.
