I only know about the state of Massachusetts. And yes in our state they have one hour to report the repossession to the police department in the town of which the car was taken.
no
A "repossession notice" is a civil matter. A police oficer cannot hold the vehicle for repossession. Unless, there has been a court proceeding and the judge has ordered the vehicle held if stopped. A repossession notice also cannot stop the registration of a vehicle.
Thay can, and in many jurisdictions it is required before repossession is performed. In others it is only necessary to notify police within 24 hours of recovery.
The tow/repossession company has to notify the police of the repossession so the car can't be reported stolen..
Possibly, but they can certainly prevent you from interfering, as it is no longer your car, hence the repossession.
yes angel i know this is you
Police can investigate if a repossession is being legally accomplished. You cannot harass someone to collect a debt. They are in their rights to investigate.
no you cannot have a repoman arrested on your property, as long as all his paperwork is in order for taking the vehicle.however "," the repoman cannot cut any locks(fence lock), etc. But if its not locked they can open it and take the vehicle they have paper work on.***unless the repossession agent has an order from a judge, you can ask them to leave your property. If they refuse, you can call your local police station, and have them escorted off of your property. If they then refuse with police, they can and will be arrested.* * *
If the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repossess the vehicle for nonpayment, 9 out of 10 times, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. No, Use of a Police Officer or Police involvement in self-help repossession introduces the state into a civil matter and provides the foundation for a wrongful repossession suit against the Secured Party, the repossession agent, the police officer and the police department.The authority to use Self-Help repossession is granted in the UCC 9-609 and Comment 3 of 9-609 specifically states "This section does not authorize a Secured Party who repossesses without judicial process to utilize the assistance of a law enforcement officer."Simply put if you want to use a police office to assist in a repossession you better go to court and obtain a Writ of Replevin/Sequestrian first.
