This depends upon the local jurisdiction and the laws pertaining to this activity. The legal authority given to a repo man may well nullify normal civil protection.

If you do not let the person onto your property with a locked fence surrounding this is a voilation of the law and ofcourse YOU can have them arrested on the spot.
