Under Florida law, your lender must give you an opportunity to meet at a mutually agreed-upon place to surrender the car and remove your belongings before the lender repossesses the car. If you don't do this, lenders aren't required to give you any further notice before the repossession.
Know the Repo Laws of Your State. The first thing to know about how to repo a car is you need to be aware of how repo laws stand within the jurisdictions where you will conduct business. Make Sure the Debtor Is in Default. Locate and Verify the Car. Choose the Method to Repossess. Do Not Breach the Peace.
Once your debtor is in default, you can repossess the car at any time without prior notice and you can even go onto the debtor's property to seize the car. That being said, you are not allowed to seize a vehicle by using physical violence or threats of force.
To initiate the replevin action, creditors must attach proof of a bill of sale, property title, debt agreement, etc. to a complaint filed with the clerk of court. This filing will include a replevin summons, as well as filing the original documents with the court as well.
