== == state.al.us Affirmed. The repossessor was acting as the lenders' agent; it was not seizing the vehicles for its own benefit, so the FDCPA is not relevant. ARB was acting as a constructive bailee for the personal property found in the vehicles. Under the common law, the bailee does not acquire a lien in the bailed good and so has no right to its possession. However, there is a right to compensation for reasonable expenses in taking care of the goods until reclaimed by the owner. If such compensation were not allowed, there would be no incentive to protect the goods. Nadalin v. Automobile Recovery Bureau, Inc., - F.3d - (1999 WL 130194, 7th Cir.) or 169 F. 3d 1084 (7th Cir., 1999)
