Question about reposession....

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

My buddy's evo got repo'd and the company claims that the audio equipment can be kept by them and he cant get it back. The audio equipment was purchsed as a gift of his brother like 3 weeks ago and is still on his brothers credit card.... Are they really allowed to keep his stuff? Shouldnt he be allowed to return it to stock as long as he replaces what is taken?? Just curious if anyone is familiar with this.....:dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: Again I know this is prolly a ? for an attorney but Im just asking to see if anyone on here knows.....

What about the subs and amp?

It' no longer his car.

As stated, he can take personal items, but nothing that is related to the car.

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

But if "technically" the stuff isnt his.....Idk.... It just seems kinda BS that they can take the subs and whatnot... The radio, I understand but something that definitely did not come with the vehicle....

What kind of evo was it?

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Wouldnt it be aftermarket equipment? Youre allowed to remove aftermarket parts... Exhaust and such why would this be different... Thats what this says int the last paragraph anyway....

ya like that is the first time they have heard that ,,,dude its gone ,,ITS ATTACHED ,,,you cant remove anything ,,they hear that line all the time ,,,hey my dad payed for that motor i was just borrowing it ,,i need to take it out WRONG lol

it don't matter, dude...once it's "attached" to the car, and it goes to repo...that's it...it's theirs...

btw, even if the repo company has already picked up the car, you have an opportunity to "square up" with the financier (sp.?) to bring current and take your car home...then you can get your shit back...but if he's 3-4 payments out, it may not be feasible ... but it's not gone...just yet

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

But if he has the proof.... His brother can prove it... He's still payin for it.... I know he did, I did the install...

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Oh well... I figured Id ask... I just dont see how that works... Its BS...

One of my good friends has a 06 MR grey, 360 whp bitch is fast :burnout:

 

[viperhauler]

i gotta ask, tho, ryan...

if he was that far out on the payments...why did he have ANYTHING in the car????

 

[Ironhead]

Oh well... I figured Id ask... I just dont see how that works... Its BS...

if he knew it was going to get repoed ,,,and you have to be 3 to 4 months back before they come get it he should have been thinking ,,man i got to get this out before it gets repoed and if he could not make car payments why did you sell him a radio,on payments lol

now if he pays up and the stuff is gone then you can get the repo peeps

 

[kickinassrt-10]

Similar happened to my buddy....he made friends with the guy at the repo yard and agreed to let him get it as long as he replaced to stock....rims, radio and lights were all taken and replaced...
Again that was all about who you know type of deal!

Cuz he was still payin on it.... He lost his job like 6 Months ago and got another like 2 months later.... So he was like 3 payments back but started making payments again just couldnt get ahead... and the day before he made another payment it got repo'd.. He cashed his check on the way home from work.... and they took it that night.... Oh well tho

You have to look at it from the bank's standpoint. They want to get the car back and resell it--immediately. If they allow the owner to take off aftermarket parts, chances are, the car will not operate as intended, and therefore hinder or prevent the sale.
