  • yep i do believe so
  • I think so. That is because it is the bank's car, not yours. Once they are going to repo it, you are essentially in possession of stolen property. A car doesn't become yours until you completely pay it off.
  • If they can get to it, they can take it.
  • no however the burden of proof is on you and if you don't have title to a vehicle you don't own it and keeping it locked or otherwise hidden from repo is considered Grand theft auto in most states which is a felony
  • they do it all the time
  • YES they sure can!
  • Actually, if the fence is locked, and they break the lock, it is considered breaking and entering (or a similar crime, since this might require the intent to commit a crime... it is illegal however). Even police can't breach that, just like a front door without a warrant or cause. If the property is fully fenced, then no. If there is a fence in front of the driveway, but the rest of the yard is not fenced, so there would be no need to climb the fence to get to the vehicle, then going onto your property is not a crime, although cutting the lock might be, opening the fence to procure the car is not. If there is a no trespassing sign, then that is further reason they can't enter. THAT SAID... (more, important information!!!) They CAN IF.. If your car is behind a locked fence/in a garage, they can go back to the lien holder suggest them to acquire a writ of replevin. This is a paper signed by a judge giving the recovery agent the right to break-in to the garage with the company of a police officer. That said, you can look into the laws in your state. You can look up your state's law here, and start there. http://www.quickrepo.com/repo-company-tools/index.htm Good luck!
  • Sure they can, and by putting the car behind a locked fence knowing the car is being sought to be repo'd is considered the same as attempting to hide the car. In some states they need an order to cut the lock, in some states they don't. Check your local laws. +4
