FAQ
If the repo company can't repossess the car without breaching the peace, then the lender can go to court and go through the replevin process. The lender is basically taking you to court to make you hand over the car. If you lose the court case, then you have to return the car by the scheduled date.
A consumer who defaults on a vehicle loan usually faces the repossession of the vehicle, but sometimes a lender will use replevin as an alternative. While repossession does not involve a formal process in court, replevin consists of getting the court to order the consumer to return the vehicle to the lender.
Alternative Legal Actions Other legal remedies may be more appropriate than a replevin action, depending on why the court denied the replevin action. These might include: An action for monetary damages. A claim for trespass to chattels, based on substantial interference with the use of your personal property.
Generally speaking, under California law your son has 20 days to cure the default after the notice of his right to reinstate the loan was mailed (or 15 days if mailed within the State). The right to reinstate, however, is limited to once per 12 month period, and twice during the entire term of the loan.
What happens once I file the replevin? Your case will be set for a hearing to go before a judge. An Order To Show Cause will be issued and served on the defendant, notifying him/her of the action and the date of the hearing. You will also be notified of the hearing date.
Repossession, colloquially repo, is a "self-help" type of action in which the party having right of ownership of a property takes the property in question back from the party having right of possession without invoking court proceedings.
File a motion for a writ of replevin. The motion must be accompanied by an affidavit or verified complaint that supports the allegations in your complaint. The affidavit must also state that you will post a replevin bond with the court. The amount of the bond will be set by the court.
The Complaint: The complaint in replevin typically must include: (i) a description of the property to be replevied; (ii) its value; (iii) its location if known; and (iv) the material facts upon which the claim is based – in other words, why the filing party is entitled to seize the property that has been taken.
Replevin can also refer to a writ authorizing the retaking of property by its rightful owner (i.e., the remedy sought by replevin actions). Replevin may be ordered as a final judgment, or in some jurisdictions, as a provisional remedy.
When filing a replevin suit, the plaintiff must provide evidence that they are the rightful owner of the property in question and that it was taken without justification or consent.
