FAQ
Bankruptcy Can Stop the Repossession Process Bankruptcy can sometimes help cancel the debt, or even allow you to stop the repossession process. After filing a bankruptcy petition in bankruptcy court, all creditors are prevented from making any further collection attempts.
Repossession happens when a lender takes back a car because the borrower has fallen behind on payments. Repo agents use personal details, social media, and tools like GPS trackers and license plate scanners to find vehicles.
You can also use websites like Carfax, Auto Trader, Buy It Now, eBay and CarsDirect. All these websites provide information about repossessed cars.
Direct Dispute with the Lienholder: Even though the lienholder has refused to remove the repossession, consider sending them a formal dispute letter. In the letter, outline the timeline of events, provide evidence of the insurance payout, and explain why the repossession should not be considered a default on your part.
Although court judgments no longer appear on credit reports or factor into credit scores, they're still part of the public record. If a lender looks up your public records, this could make it harder to qualify for future loans.
Police cannot repo a car. Only a lender has the legal authority to do that.
What Happens If the Repo Agent Doesn't Find Your Car? But if you make it hard for the repo agent to get it, then the creditor may use another method to get the car back, called "replevin." Replevin can be just as costly as a repossession, if not more so.
If you confront the reposession company and tell them to leave your car alone, they must do so or they risk a Breach of the Peace. This is why cars are frequently repossessed at night. If the owner is sleeping there will be little chance of a Breach of the Peace.
There is no legal restriction on the time when a car can be repossessed. The repo agent will do this when they have the opportunity to do so, which can be any time of the day or night.
