In California, a consumer's vehicle can be taken from them if they miss payments on their loan or if they violate any terms of their agreement. This process is known as repossession and the creditor has the right to repossess the consumer's vehicle if it holds a valid security interest in it.
The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.
What happens once I file the replevin? Your case will be set for a hearing to go before a judge. An Order To Show Cause will be issued and served on the defendant, notifying him/her of the action and the date of the hearing. You will also be notified of the hearing date.
