Repossession

Laws governing this issue are made by the states. Whether or not a person can be charged with a criminal act (misdemeanor in most cases) depends on the applicable state statutes. Usually the person who committed the offense is given the opportunity to make restitution to the involved party.

yes...they just can't break into a gated driveway or garage...and if they come -JUMP IN YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!! they are legally not allowed to touch you. If they do you can sue!!!! its called breach of peace...they cannot take your car violently...hope this helps...just pay your bill..i just got repo'd and it sucks BAD.... :( i just wish i knew about the breach of peach law before!!! i would have been hanging on to my car for dear life!!!!!

To the best of my knowledge there is no limit. This is their way of robbing people and unfortunatly the city usually just wants the car MOVED so they don't crack down on the fees the companies that move the cars charge. The finance company that has it repo'd pays them to tow it and allowing them to rob you keeps their costs down they have to pay the tow company also.

in the state of Virginia-each jurisdiction has a towing board made up of tow company owners and public officials that regulate what towing companies can charge for towing/impounding/storage/accident recovery/etc. and also how far your car can be taken when impounded or towed. you should check with your local police or sheriff office to see if the repo company falls under their jurisdiction as far as storage costs go when repossession is involved

Depends on the state the vehicle was picked up. To the best of my knowledge most states do not regulate this. One of the reasons for high storage rates by the recovery agency is many finance companies are asking for free storage unless the debtor redeems the vehicle. The repossessor can't afford to pay for his lot or garage without collecting storage from someone. Plus there is the additional burden of insurance while the vehicle is being stored. The average deductible for repo insurance is $1000.00 to $1500.00. for each claim. You also have the costs for security and lot attendants who not only release the vehicle but must do all the paperwork for the finance companies.

I know you don't like to hear this but the fact is many agencies are now losing money when it comes to total cost of storing the vehicles. This could all be resolved if the finance companies would quit placing the burden on the recovery agency and added all to the original repossession fee. In their attempts to hold down their own costs they are forcing the recovery company to sign unfair contracts in the first place. Strange as it may seem almost every major lender has almost the same contract and the recovery eithers signs this or has no work.

Items on your credit history remain only with you. They do not get copied to your wife's credit history after you get married. The only items that appear on both your credit histories is if you have a joint account with both your names on the account.

I would get the advice of a lawyer on how best to proceed. You may have certain rights or obligations depending on whose name was on what papers.

I am an attorney who concentrates her practice in bankruptcy. No, your spouse is not required to tell you that he or she has filed bankruptcy. However, if you are anticipating dissolution of marriage or there are other special circumstances, the court may find fraud if your spouse disposes of assets or relieves himself or herself of debt. It varies from state to state. However, there is no requirement that a spouse tell the other of a bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a matter of public record though and you can look up whether people have filed or not by going to the PACER website.

For Chapter 7 in Illinois, eligibility for filing bankruptcy requires that one must not be able to pay at least $6,000 over the next five years ($100 per month) to unsecured creditors after expenses. But if one can pay at least $10,000 over five years ($166.67 per month or more), Chapter 7 will likely be denied.

If one can pay $6,000 but less than $10,000 over five years, then a mathematical calculation determines whether Chapter 7 will likely be successful or not. If one can afford to pay 25% or more of the unsecured debt, then a Chapter 7 will likely be denied. If one can't afford to pay 25% of the unsecured debt, Chapter 7 filing will likely be successful.

For Chapter 13, individuals who are self employed or sole proprietorships must have unsecured debts that are less than $307,675 and secured debts less than $922,975.

It is always illegal to be sexual with a minor, even if it is mutually consentual sex because a minor does not have the legal capacity to make a good decision about the appropriateness of sexual behavior nor the very serious implications of getting pregnant and have a baby to care for -- If the 22 year old really cares for the 16 year old he will wait until she is an adult otherwise he will be commiting statutory rape and will spend many years in prison and be listed for life as a sex offender. -- the guys in prison hate child abusers becasue most of them have themselves been abused so you would run the high risk of being raped and then murdered in prison before you ever got out. -- not such a sweet deal for 15 minutes with a minor huh -- '

Probably. I don't know your state of residency or whether you would be filing Federal or state BK. Some states only allow one or the other, some let you combine them. In a Federal filing the vehicle exemption is $2,775. If it is your only car, that amount is subject to appeal. Your state of residency vehicle exemption is probably a different amount. If you want to email me with your state, I could let you know what it would be.

before making a decsion ask them why and if they tell you try to understande their promlem if its reasonable if not don't ever talk to them

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ well i think that you should make ABSOLUTE SURE that she/he has taken it. If soo you should say! You should be nice (if you still want to be friends) and not make it look like you are accusing them and just as if you've been asking round! If she/he is denying it say what she/he was doing at that time ask them what they were doing at the time you suspected they must of took your thing! If they come up with something silly then you should probablly just come out with it! Just say something like 'Look, I Know you took it,, I am not mad (even if you are:@) I just want my *stuff* back! Can I have it back please:/ And that is all i can really say to you!=D I hope this has helped you xx

Yes, if you deliberately fail to enter a debt on the bankruptcy schedule the BK can be dismissed with prejudice. When petitioning for your own bankruptcy you should disclose all of your debts. However, certain debts such as fines and Student Loans cannot be included in the bankruptcy.

Until such time as all debts incurred for the purchase of the car are paid off

Warrants are a matter of public record and police departments and other law enforcement agencies generally post them on their website and/or in some cases newspapers print a list of persons who have active warrants. The information can also be found through online court records but the interested party would probably need to know the court, the date and the docket number where the warrant was issued. The best place to start would be to do a search of the county police department website where it is believed the warrant may have been issued. Added: To my knowledge, there are no publicly accessible websites or databases that reveal this information. Simplest and easiest way is to call your local law enforcement agency and simply ask.

Yes, when (1) a warrant commanding that the person be arrested, (2) any crime is being committed in his presence, (3) he has probable cause to believe that an offense was committed and committed by person to be arrested.

Failure to obey posted signs such as "no u-turn" or "no right on red"

"Statute of limitations for repossessed vehicles" doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you're asking what the timeframe is to get it back... it varies depending on your location, but it's really, really short. Like, a few days in most places.

In theory yes, however Florida statutes pertaining to liens against homesteads are difficult to enforce due to the fact that Florida has unlimited homestead exemption. The exception would be a Mechanic's lien.

No, they cannot enter the garage locked or not without a court order. Likewise police would not get involved in the issue unless such an order was in place or they were called due to a physical altercation or other violation of the law.

Depends on your lease. If the lease says something happens, then it does.

If the lease is not in writing, one of a few things can happen. Nothing is one. If it's very late the landlord could ask you for something like a late fee, and you could agree or not. The landlord could threaten to terminate your lease if you don't pay some kind of late fee, and that's a dilemma, especially where you set up a situation where you start paying late fees, then the next time the landlord will expect you to pay it like an additional part of the (unwritten) lease agreement

California statutes are organized into broad titles (i.e. Penal Code, Civil Code, etc.). Finding the applicable law on repossession depends on the type of property involved. For example, laws regarding car repossession are set forth in California's Rees-Levering Automobile Sales and Finance Act, Civil Code section 2981, et seq.

It depends on the way she left? and the reasons behind her decision? Also, having children would make any hasty decision a reason for further regrets. Sometimes, people run away just to make a point or to express their rejection. A married woman should usually regret this, even if her escape was for another man. You should be wise and try to buy time and persuade her to come back. If she does, try to sort the problem and look behind the actions. It's your obligation to evaluate if this marriage is still good for you or if this wife is decent enough to be your companion. Anyway, think twice before you take the decision of divorce and try to warn her on the bad consequences of her actions

They absolutely can not change the will. They do not hold the power to do such a thing. Their only job is to be responsible for and/or carry out the individuals last wishes made within the will in the exact way the will states.

It would vary by state. Check the states Official Annotated Code for specific details for that state.

yes......in California you are REQUIRED to have an inventory list of the items in the unit at the time of repossession, therefore we are allowed to charge for the inventory and storage of said property......

Yes if it parked in a public area such as a parking lot or the street.

A court order can also be called a decree, writ, edict or judgment, depending on the circumstances.

A Court Order, or the Order of the Court, is a document drafted by a Judge stating that certain events must or must not happen. The Order will be referring to specific individuals and if those individuals do not comply with the Court Order then they risk being penalised by the law, either fined or imprisoned. What a Court Order normally does is make something which is legal for most people effectively illegal just for the named individuals on the Order, for example, in a harassment case person A may be Ordered by the Court not to go within a mile of person B's house (a restraining order). So it's legal for the rest of the world to go within person B's house, just illegal for person A.

In more simple circumstances the Order of the Court can refer to a Judge's decision or ruling in a case the Judge has heard.
