Common Repossession Violations

If any of these happened to you, you likely have a strong case.

No Right-to-Cure Notice

Many states require lenders to notify you before repossession, giving you a chance to catch up on payments.

Breach of the Peace

Repo agents cannot use threats, force, break into a closed garage, or cause a confrontation.

Missing Post-Sale Notice

After selling your vehicle, lenders must send you a notice of the sale price and any deficiency balance.

Commercially Unreasonable Sale

Your vehicle must be sold in a commercially reasonable manner. Fire-sale prices can void the deficiency.

Personal Property Not Returned

Lenders must return personal belongings found in your vehicle. Failure to do so is a violation.

Wrongful Deficiency Judgment

If the repo was improper, the lender may lose the right to collect any remaining balance from you.
