Illinois Summons-LM or Repletion is a legal process used by a creditor to regain possession of personal property (e.g. cars, furniture, jewelry, etc.) from a debtor who has failed to make payments. It is also used if a debtor withholds property from a creditor who believes they are entitled to it. There are two types of Summons-LM or Repletion in Illinois: 1) Summons-LM; and 2) Repletion. Summons-LM is the process used when a creditor seeks to repossess certain items that have been pledged as security for a loan. The creditor must provide the debtor with a notice of their intention to repossess the items, and then must file a lawsuit in court. After a hearing, a judge can then order the return of the items to the creditor. Repletion is the process used when a creditor seeks to recover items that have been wrongfully withheld from them, or items that are not pledged as security for a loan. In this case, the creditor must file a lawsuit and then obtain a court order allowing them to take possession of the items. If the debtor fails to comply with the court order, the court can appoint a deputy sheriff to repossess the items and return them to the creditor.
