When you make payments to buy a vehicle, the lender retains the title to the vehicle until the loan is paid off. If you default, the lender has a right to take back the vehicle at any time of the day or night on your property, without having to go to court or give you notice beforehand. They must, however, adhere to regulations that prohibit them from "breaching the peace." Ways to commit such breaches include:

• Forcing or threatening to use force to take the vehicle
• Removing the vehicle from a closed garage
• Seizing the vehicle over an objection

If you have experienced a breach of the peace by a lender, consider the firm's attorneys to assist you in righting the violation of your civil liberties. They have over 50 years of combined partner experience assisting clients in all areas of debt and bankruptcy concerns, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. With their experience and expertise, they will closely examine your situation and recommend the best way for you to move forward so you may reach a positive result to your case.

Lender Penalties for Illegal Repossession

When a lender crosses the line and engages in illegal behavior during vehicle repossession, they can face serious consequences. They may lose their right to enforce a deficiency judgment against you, be required to pay a penalty, or both, and you may be entitled to receive monetary damages.
