Repossession

yes! well depends on what your are stealing and from who. but you do get arrested at the time of getting caught.

Upon arrest, you are sent to jail for processing. This is often a local affair, and short term. Upon conviction for a crime with a prison sentence, you are sent to prison, which often boasts higher security, bigger populations, and longer amounts of time spent there.

They can but any evidence that is collected would come into question during any court proceedings. If you have an unobstructed driveway or sidewalk that leads to your residence, it can be articulated that anyone may approach your residence. The rule is generally what a "reasonable" person would believe after seeing no trespassing signs, but then seeing a mailman or deliveryperson go to your house, and a clear walkway to your front door. Take away that "welcome" mat too. Gates and fences would reinforce the no trespassing sign, and the police would need a reason to approach your house.

In many states, yes. But you usually have to own it or have a lot of equity to make it worth while.

Absolutely. It being exempt from creditors is a main benefit of qualified retirement accounts.

Not "absolutely." Properly established IRAs are protected up to one million dollars, and a bankruptcy court can extend that higher. Any money that you withdraw from an IRA, unless it is all placed in another IRA or a 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan, is not protected.

Whether or not theft by conversion is a felony depends on the value of the theft. Generally, if the value is over 5,000 dollars, it is a felony. Some states have a lower value to qualify as a felony.

It all depends on the laws and court rules of the state where the court is. But usually even a default judgment in a small claims court will count as a judgment lien, although a default judgment usually can be set aside if there were reasonable excuses for the default and if there is a meritorious defense. Some small claims courts require that a transcript of the judgment be sent to a central judgment docketing office, meaning that the judgment is not an automatic statewide lien as a judgment in a regular trial court would be.

If you car was towed for a good and legal reason, then the company has the right to charge you money for the recovery of the vehicle - costs of towing and storage fees, usually.

What they do with your personal belongings is usually let someone pick them up. In some cases, they may feel that they have the right to hold them, as "security" for your payment to them. (In cases of a repossession, they should give the personal items back, as the finance company is paying their fee, and has no desire for your stuff.)

In theory, if you disagree with that, you could sue. But usually the cost of suit would exceed the value of most personal property in a car, and frankly, the tow company could as easily throw your stuff out and claim ignorance.

By all means, consult a local attorney. Always a good idea. But it might - in this case - be even better to just settle with the tow company, or plea in such a fashion that they take pity on you.

The state laws are unique in the designation of what constitutes an emancipated minor basically Wisconsin law says (paraphrasing) emancipated minor status includes (1) A married, divorced or widowed person who is at least 16-years of age. (2) A minor who has GIVEN birth (pregnancy does not qualify). (3) A minor who has been emancipated by court order. (4) A minor emancipated by parental consent. (5) A minor living on their own who is self-supporting. Court rulings made concerning such laws vary greatly. Judges tend to interpret emancipation law on a individual basis rather than prescribed application of established statutes. Actually,Wisconsin has no laws on emancipation.

If you cosigned, you are the borrower if 1st party doesn't pay. they can only put a lien if they get a judgement first. Remember nothing makes a student loan go away-not even a bk. It just accrues interest forever.

IF your vehicle is collateral for loan in DEFAULT, it CAN be repoed.

First call the impound yard (if you don't know call the local police and they can tell you)

Ask if the car has a police hold if so for how long.

Ask for the total amount of fees due.

What you will need to get the car back.OK that's a common since answer what if they do not answer [and I been calling for the last 8 hours]and you have no way to get to the impound lot to personally find out how much what way do you find out then?

IF you will be filing WITH an attorney, the attorney will do the filing. ler her/him do their job.

IF the initial person has a key and is not scared the other person will be mad. LOL Try to do it while she is at the mall or somewhere shopping. That way you will have lots of distance between you and her. Good Luck

The truck was sold by the bank at auction, they then sent us a bill for $5,600.00!!!! This was the balnce of the loan apparently, **NO this is the balance due AFTER deducting what it sold for at auction.and they auctioned the truck for far below it's worth.**REALLY, how much is /was it worth? It was sold at WHOLESALE price. Not retail.We are now receiving harassing phone calls from the bank and their collections dept. ( I am shocked at the unprofessionalism of these calls!)

what can be done to alleviate all of this? PAY the amount due.We don't have $5600.00 to give them for a truck we don't even have?! You had it and didnt seem to want it but that's NOT the issue. The issue is that you/he agreed to pay X number of dollars for X number of months. YOu/he didnt pay that and now the lender is going to collect the money due. They will sue you, get a judgment, and collect. Good Luck.

Yes you can, the DMV or Department of Revenue has the records and they are completely public.

it wouldn't be reported as a "stolen" vehicle unless they signed an agreement stating when they would return it. At most, it would be unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Best thing to do would be to send a certified, return receipt, restricted delivery letter to the person stating they have so many days to return it or it will be considered stolen. Also put in the letter that acceptance of the letter constitutes their agreement. Yes you can report your car stolen but only if you said return it by a certain time. If you failed to give a time period, then you cannot report it as stolen.

No, not in Oklahoma anyways.

office is closing

perhaps not. If the courts determine that the value is too great and that the car and/or motorcycle are not necessary for you to maintain employment you may be forced to turn over one or both.

When entering or crossing a road, street, or highway from a private road, alley, building, or driveway after stopping prior to the sidewalk, you shall yield the right-of-way to all approaching vehicles and pedestrians.

Hi there. I am a Texas collection attorney.

You can have your wages garnished in Texas ONLY for child or spousal support. That's what the Texas Constitution says. So if you are not being sued for child or spousal support, your wages cannot be garnished to satisfy a judgment.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Although Texas does have a statute that prevents wage garnishment by a judgment creditor there is an exception if no other method is available for the creditor to execute said judgment. This means that if the judgment debtor does not have personal or real property (bank account, real estate, etc.) that can be attached or liquidated to satisfy the judgment amount wage garnishment is possible.

Sure. But I guess if you feel they shouldn't bother caring about such a piddly sum, you can just fork it over. Pay your debts as you swore you would....don't try to make it like others are doing anything wrong.

By the way, all the costs of the repo, like legal fees and towing, and storage, and late charges, etc. will mean you'll certainly owe at least the 1000 after. No, they don't do it for free.

Only if the vehicle was used as collateral to secure the loan/debt. If the issue is strictly credit card account default, the bank cannot arbitrarily cease the vehicle. However the bank can file suit against the debtor and if awarded a judgment execute the judgment as a lien against any of the debtor's real or personal property, including a vehicle.
