FAQ
Identify yourself and your vehicle. Be sure to include an account number so that your lender can match your letter to your records. Explain that you're unable to make payments and intend to surrender the car. Provide contact information so that your lender can reach you.
What Happens If the Repo Agent Doesn't Find Your Car? But if you make it hard for the repo agent to get it, then the creditor may use another method to get the car back, called "replevin." Replevin can be just as costly as a repossession, if not more so.
Direct Dispute with the Lienholder: Even though the lienholder has refused to remove the repossession, consider sending them a formal dispute letter. In the letter, outline the timeline of events, provide evidence of the insurance payout, and explain why the repossession should not be considered a default on your part.
If a purchaser defaults on a lien, a lienholder may repossess a motor vehicle held under a valid lien without paying motor vehicle tax. The act of repossession is not a retail sale.
Illegal access by repo agents, such as entering closed garages or locked gates without permission, is a breach of peace and a violation of the property owner's rights.
Texas allows for “self-help repossession”, which means a creditor or repossession agent can repossess a vehicle without going to court, as long as it can be done without breaching the peace.
In Texas, repossession laws are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
Repo men may seek police support during a repossession, but it's crucial to recognize that law enforcement's role is primarily to maintain the peace.
