All replevin actions in Maryland must be filed in the District Court of Maryland. The action is to replevin an automobile.While repossession does not involve a formal process in court, replevin consists of getting the court to order the consumer to return the vehicle to the lender. The court found that a lender who repossesses a vehicle before a borrower files for bankruptcy is not in violation of the "exercise control" provision. If a car loan lender can't repossess a vehicle, it will probably get possession of the car through a process called "replevin." Replevin is available to a party seeking the return of goods pursuant to a court order directing a party to return the goods or collateral to you.
