If a car loan lender can't repossess a vehicle, it will probably get possession of the car through a process called "replevin." 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 process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. For instance, a lender can file a replevin complaint against a borrower to repossess their car after failing to make repayments. Filing a replevin means that you do not need to physically locate property to claim it. The answer to your question is yes. The writ is a court order that allows a law enforcement officer to recover personal property from a person. Select the applicable "Method of Repossession" and attach any required documentation, if applicable. This completed form must be submitted to a county tax. What will happen if a writ of replevin is issued against myself for a financed vehicle that I no longer have possession of?
