What are the car repossession laws in Kentucky?

If you mean how late do you have to be to get repossessed:

Usually 3 months if you are financed through a bank or credit union and 1 week

if you are financed through a buy-here pay-here.

The banks prefer their money. They don't want to deal with reselling a car. The buy-her pay-here's get to keep your money that you already paid, then turn around and resell your car for almost what you paid. They can do this as many time as they want, as long as people get behind. Anyone who has a car loan

will fall behind at least one time in their 3-to-5 year contract.

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.

What do repossession companies do with the license plates on repossessed cars?

What if anything can be done to prevent Alheimers?

At this point in time, the evidence regarding Alzheimer's disease, or more accurately, dementia in elderly people, seems to be that to some extent, it is a cardiovascular disease. Likelihood of becoming demented is decreased by the same measures that lead to decreased likelihood of heart attack or stroke. So -- EXERCISE (the cure for everything!), healthy cardio-friendly diet, and exercising your brain as well by staying active and challenging your brain by learning new things. There is some evidence that statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) may lessen the likelihood of developing dementia.

The cause of Alzheimer's disease specifically is not yet known and appears to be heavily influenced by genetics.

Is it known to happen to just offer a bribe to the a repo man at your door for say 100-200 to tell the bank he cant find you?

"Yep, let's make a bad situation even worse by trying to bribe the repo man. What a dumb idea that is. You think the loan company is just going to let you keep driving their car. That's right, their car. You do not own this vehicle until you make the last payment. They will find this car sooner or later, and all you are doing is running up the interest fees, and repo fees, they you will eventually have to pay. Can't make the payments then turn the car in and save yourself some fees."

yada yada yada........

Sorry, I deleted the rest of your 'be a good little consumer' diatribe because it wasn't relevant to the question at hand. All the information you provided past the first few paragraphs was simply credit info boilerplate that is repeated in many places in the repo wiki.

I had been wondering if just such an answer would be provided....and sure enough it was, quicker than I thought possible.

Problem is, I speak from experience. I'de be interested to know what your life experience and background is to relevantly speak to the topic at hand.

Surprise surprise- bribing really worked in my case, about 3 YEARS AGO. I still have the car. Still owe the same amount on it. Of course, I owed less than $2500 and the car has a lot of miles on it, and the lender knows that. He may have me on a list somewhere, but I don't think it's his top priority. Can't be, based on the time that has gone by. Also, repo efforts are up this year (2008) big time, and there are far easier fish in the sea apparently to catch, then me. However, even though repo efforts are greatly increased, the repo unrecovered rate only improved .1% from roughly 2.5% to 2.4%, even though almost double the effort has been expended by the industry as compared to 2007.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) basic human greed can solve such a problem, for far less than I would have paid the lender. I wonder do you work for a lender or a repo firm? And if so, maybe it was one of YOUR employees that took the bait back then......and that is the cause of your extreme negative response?

I will agree this is not something that should be attempted unless you have the means, can read a stranger's personality type reasonably well, and have some understanding of basic human nature as well as it's attendant failings. Granted, a lot of people will futz this up if attempted. But it can be done.

I welcome your response, if you have one.

Examples of prejudicial rhetorical devices?

Pardon me, I realized that I had, in fact misread it. Not prejudicial rhetorical questions. My apologies.

The answer to your question would be an argument based on generally unreasoned or stubborn personal belief.

E.G.,

"I don't believe that Obama would try to tax the middle class more heavily."

"He's a democrat. Of course he would."

Rather than arguing the finer point of actual economic/political theory of the individual man himself.

How do i get your car back if it was involved in a crime?

The police will investigate the situation and work to recover your car if possible. It's important to cooperate fully with the authorities during their investigation.

If someone is convicted of a crime for obtaining property by false pretense and go to jail will they have to pay back the money the owe when released or does time served count for what the owe?

The individual will still be responsible for paying back the money they owe even after serving time in jail. Time served does not fulfill their obligation to repay the victim for the property obtained by false pretense. They may be required to pay restitution as part of their sentence.
