Repossession

It is against the law to hide your car from repossession in every state. It is called fraud, interfering with repossession, auto theft in some states. In Indiana it is routinely dealt with by replevin, an order from the court to surrender the property or go to jail and surrender the property.

Be certain that is what happened. If you did nothing to initiate the assault, file a complaint. If you did something to initiate the repossession agent's defense of himself, turn yourself in.

The repossession industry employs a group of people known only as skip tracers. Most people have no idea what a skip tracer does. Most skip tracers will not tell you what it is they do other than the the effect they find things. Skip tracers are typically highly skilled people who do just that, find things.

Having worked in the industry as a skip tracer, I can state that I have found vehicles that have been out for repossession for as little as 24 hours and as long as seven years. I literally found one vehicle that was being hidden in the barn of the debtor's wife's brother's wife's parent's barn, and had been there just shy of seven years. The repossession company picked it up seven years to the day of the notice of repossession.

People can run. People can hide. But, nothing lasts forever. Everyone leaves a trail. Those who issue challenges to those who have nothing more to do in their jobs but to devote time to finding them or their property or assets have entered a fool's game.

Yes, and quite often they are. It is not uncommon for vehicles to be repossessed while the family who owes on them are on vacation. I've sent agents after vehicles in Arizona and Florida for cars that were registered in Michigan, Indiana, or Ohio.

In multiple years working in the industry, there has never been a never. The repossession company will eventually find your car, even if you chop it up and sell it for parts. I done found them this way myself.

Then the car will be repossessed from where ever your friend leaves it, OR depending on the state, your friend may be arrested for aiding and abetting, or receiving stolen property.

It depends on the lender. Prime lenders like Cap One may come after you vehicle after the first payment is missed. Chase might take two weeks from the missed payment. Other lenders may wait 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days before issuing a notice of repossession.

The lender may garnish your wages for a judgment against a debt in Illinois, even after repossession.

When the vehicle is recovered, it is taken to a lot, inventoried, and eventually taken to auction. The amount received at auction is applied to the amount owed, including repo fees and collection fees. In the event the lender obtained a judgment against you for the unpaid balance, they have 10 years from the date the auction proceeds were applied to the loan. If there is no judgment, they have 7 years.

Repossession agents are not typically paid a salary, nor are they typically paid hourly. Repossession is a per unit business. That is, the repo man is paid by the vehicles he recovers. Amounts vary by the individual business.

If you want to be charged with making a false report on top of losing your car. If it has been repossessed legally, you have no real claim on it and aren't supposed to find it. Pay what is owed on it and whoever has it must produce the car.

Yes. If the property is found it can be retreived.

call somebody

You are committing a crime if you knew the car not to be stolen.

No.

Well to put it simply..... YES

no it can't

Yes they can but if they start harrassing you after you ask them to leave and they dont leave you can either call security and have 'em escorted out or you can call the police and they will make him leave, now if you are hiding the car on purpose it is a felony in some states so be careful what you say :-) the police are there to help you so dont be afraid to stand up for yourself :-)

Typically it takes up to 5 months of no Payments for Capital One Auto Finance to decide to repo. Whether its the same of home and other Finances I do not know however, when the 5 month mark hits, they will begin paperwork and by the 6th month you will have your possessions taken.

broke window and jump in

No such thing as in repossession. Its either repoed or its not. If its not, you are free to do what you want with it unless you signed a contract agreeing otherwise.

no

More space and conviniant

"charge off" is an accounting term that has nothing to do with collection or amount owed or anything like that.

They can repo a car if a payment was recently made as long as you are behind.
