We Can Help You Stop Unlawful Repossession
There are federal and state laws that grant consumers specific rights and protections. When your vehicle or any other property is repossessed, the repossession company must operate fairly and adhere to all applicable laws.
Creditors and vendors are required to send you and any cosigners on your loan a post-repossession notice if you default. Generally, you have the right to recover your vehicle if you pay any past loan amounts and impound or storage fees incurred with the repossession. However, if you fail to make such payments, then the repossessed vehicle can be sold at auction to repay the balance of the debt.
Agents executing a repossession order must avoid breaching the peace. Actions like entering private property without permission or entering a locked storage or garage facility to repossess items are illegal. Repossession professionals also cannot threaten you or make violent or physical contact with you when repossessing property.
Using Bankruptcy to Stop Repossession
Filing for bankruptcy will place an automatic stay on your account that can save your property from repossession. An automatic stay is a court order that creases all collection attempts and contacts with debtors. If your property has already been repossessed, then filing for bankruptcy promptly can help you recover your property.
