I am in the business and havent heard of it yet
No. That would be illegal, unless you give the lien holder permission to do so. Which is never, ever in your contract. The only way they can track you through some kind of device would be to give it to you someway, like through the mail, and have you accept it, then carry it with you. They would never go through that trouble though, they would just wait for you to leave. If your car was going to be repossessed, but it was in your garage where they can't legally enter, they would just wait for you to leave, then take it.
They also don't even have the technology to triangulate your cell phone, and for a lot of reasons, like legality, and expenses. They could try working with Law Enforcement, but they probably wouldn't get much help from the Police... If they can't get to it legally, they have to take you to court and sue you. That's the only way.
Repo companies may use cell phone tracing devices to locate a car if the car owner has consented to such tracking or if the device is legally installed on the car. However, using a cell phone tracing device without proper authorization may violate privacy laws. Repo companies should ensure they have legal grounds to use such technology before doing so.
Yes, repossession agents (repo men) can track your cell phone if they have the necessary technology or tools, such as GPS tracking devices installed in the vehicle. Additionally, if a phone is linked to the car's infotainment system, it may provide location data. However, tracking a cell phone directly without consent may raise legal and ethical concerns. Always check local laws regarding privacy and tracking.
One can find them in the phone book under Collateral Recovery or one can find them delivering repos to auto auction.
If you keep going 60+ days past due, you receive a right to cure notice w/ intent to repo., and you don't answer your phone. If you show no interest in resolving the situation, they will repo the vehicle and let you deal w/ the problem.

Repo men may call you at home if they are looking for the person who owes the debt. They are usually trying to locate the individual in order to repossess the property. If you are not the person they are looking for, you can inform them of that.

no they can't but don't put it past the government
There are a number of online websites where one can find information about repossessed trucks for sale. Some of these websites include Repodirect, Repo, RepoCenter and South Surrey Repo.
tow-drivers do most of this work, look under vehicle recovery service in your phone book and ask them how they suggest you get started.
License to repo?? In some states yes..just a few. Paying them to "find" the cars??? that could be as simple as paying a secretary to call debtors on the phone or paying someone to drive by certain addresses looking for a certain brand,model and color of car. You dont have to have a license to make phone calls or to ride around with your eyes open. Exactly what do you mean???
Call the bank and ask.
