Can a car compony sue you if they repo your car?

Answer 1

Maybe sounds like theft but they did bring it back, did they harm your vehicle or put you in a compromising position if not give them a break they really do have a rough way to go be nice do unto others as you would have done unto you would you like to go to jail when all your trying to do is put diapers on your baby or a roof over your children's head have a heart they're just doing a job and wouldn't have been out there if not for your neighbor's deficiencies. Yes, the neighbor can most definitely sue and even though the vehicle was returned there are numerous criminal violations involved in the faulty repossession. The best option would be for the party whose van was mistakenly taken to file for damages in small claims court, (unless the damages exceed the maximum amount allowed). Repo agents are bonded (or should be) to cover incidents such as this one. As far as being a "nice guy" and letting the matter drop that is a personal decision, but asserting your legal rights might be the better choice. The owner of the van should also make certain that their vehicle has not been damaged in any manner, it would be advisable to take pictures and to gather all evidence that is pertinent to the matter, such as witness accounts (if any) date, time, place, method, and so forth. Don't sue the repo who took or rather stole your car sue the lender who employed the them. Do not sue in small claims sue in regular court you can represent yourself or hire an attorney. I hope you do that repo agent should be in another line of work. You can, but you have to ask yourself if it will be worth it. You have to ask yourself too whether or not you had any culpability in the matter. If you the truly innocent victim, and you suffered damages, by all means sue the repo agent AND the repossession or forwarding company AND the lender. There are mechanisms in place to prevent this from happening. However, if you were in any way culpable in the error that was made, beware; any legal action you attempt could blow up in your face.

Answer 2

For any amount you owed (including all the costs of repossessing and such) above what they received, called the deficiency, absolutely. The basic idea being, you pay your debt, not what you want to. (If the car/security was sold for more than the remaining debt, they would have had to refund the overage).
