If your vehicle was towed from a no parking spot and your vehicle is damaged in the process who is responsible?

The towing company (contractor) is responsible for any damage it causes while removing a car from a public street, and the municipality may have liability if it has its own employees tow vehicles, rather than a contractor.

You may also find a sign on private property that says, "Unauthorized vehicles towed at owner's risk and expense." Oddly enough, this means what it says, and you have "assumed the risk" of damage and agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of towing (and storage) when you trespassed on such a parking spot.

What are the Illinois repossession laws?

When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car. Talking with Your Creditor

It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late. Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying. Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report. Seizing the Car

In many states, your creditor has legal authority to seize your vehicle as soon as you default on your loan or lease. Because state laws differ, read your contract to find out what constitutes a "default." In most states, failing to make a payment on time or to meet your other contractual responsibilities are considered defaults. In some states, creditors are allowed on your property to seize your car without letting you know in advance. But creditors aren't usually allowed to "breach the peace" in connection with repossession. In some states, removing your car from a closed garage without your permission may constitute a breach of the peace. Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property. A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation. Selling the Car

Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold. In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale). In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession. The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable. Paying the Deficiency

A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing. In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract. Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense. If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment.

Can the repo man come on your property if you have a lock on the gate and a no tress passing sign you have filed chapter 13 but lawyer advised you to hide car until you get a court order case number?

different states have different laws... and they vary greatly. did he cut the lock off? in my state repo men can't come onto private property to repo a vehicle. in most states if someone cuts the lock off your gate and takes your car... i guess that's break in and entry/trespassing/grand theft auto. i would be suprised if a state would allow a repo man to destroy your property(lock/gate) in order to repo it. if you have a lawyer... why aren't you asking him? the easiest way is to call the police and ask them... but they may not tell you everything... or they might not even know... good luck.

Is it hard to become a repo driver?

I don't know this for sure but "way back when" all one had to do was know how to drive any vehicle-- now I would say if you know how to drive and use a tow-truck -- you already are on the plus side when looking for employment as a collector/repossessor. If you are looking to do this on your own, I would say get a collection job first and learn what is needed as each state laws are different.

How old do you have to be to buy a car from a dealer ship?

Answer21 in Massachusetts Answer

The the 'age of majority' in the US is 18 in all states except Alabama and Nebraska it's 19, and in Mississippi, Indiana, and New York it's 21. The age to be licensed to drive is not necessarily the same as the 'legal age' to enter a contract, which varies from state to state. You must check with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles in your state for the age at which you can legally own a car. See the link below for some insight into this confusing topic.

The minimum age to register a motor vehicle in New York State is 16 and you do not need to be a licensed driver to do so. See the link below for NYS.

A lease is not up until next year. But a person would like a bank to take over a loan on the vehicle. How would a person get out of the lease and buy the car before the lease is actually up?

You are probably still liable for the 1 year outstanding on the lease since you agreed to pay the specified amount when you signed your contract. You will most likely have to make the rest of your payments or roll the additional cost into your new loan. You should check with the bank you intend to get your new loan from though...

How is interest calculated on a money judgment?

That answer will vary from state to state. In California, you can collect 10% per year on the oustanding balance. You take 10% of the outstanding judgment and divided that number by 365 to obtain the daily rate of interest. Multiply the number of days since the entry of judgment. Payments are applied to interest first and then to the principle. The interest is not capitalized.
