Can a repo man take a truck with a trailer connected to it but trailer is owned by other company?

No. The repossessor can only take the unit they were contracted to repossess. Taking any other vehicle (which includes a trailer) is a felony, and a separate felony will be assessed if there's a load in that trailer.

Most usually they are empowered to take items where you haven't made the payments. If both the truck and trailer were being repossessed, then you are stuck.

Only if the truck, boat and trailer were all behind on payments and the lien holder for all of them assigned them all out for repo. If they weren't it's called conversion.

Can a repo man take a truck with a trailer connected to it?

Repo man took my truck and my 24 ft trailer with 5k+ of tools on it. The trailer and tools are not on the loan and this has not been returned to me. He also knocked over my mail box. I have done a police report and was advised to contact them and try to work something out. There was some one that was supposed to buy the trailer in the morning, but that sale has been lost now. The officer as well entered in the police report the amount that the trailer was to have been sold for. The repo company nor the car lot have returned my rightful property to me, and I am signing warrants in the morning on them.

What makes repo trucks different from other vehicles?

Repo trucks are essentially the same as a tow truck or flatbed tow truck. They are used to repossess vehicles for non-payment. They have a larger engine, reinforced frames and hydraulic lifts that are needed to tow another vehicle. Repo trucks, depending on the size and tonnage, may require a commercial drivers license to operate.


Can the lien holder repo my truck when payments and insurance are current?

They will not repossess a vehicle unless you have defaulted on the loan. Defaulting on the loan is being late with the payments. Call the lender and talk to them.


How do you get into the semi truck repo business?

First, get some substantial time driving them. When you repo one of these, you have to be quick - if it's attached to a trailer, you typically have to drop that trailer, and it could be any type of trailer... dry box, RGN, whatever - and again, you need to be quick. None of this OTR, saunter out of the truck singing, "I've got tiiiiiiiiime on my side" nonsense. Then, you get enough experience that a towing and recovery company will hire you. Get a little time doing that, let them assess if you're ready to do repo work. If they decide you are, then you get into it.


Can you repossess a car if you sold it privately?

Do you have a contract with a "repo clause" in it? Anything about what will happen if the debtor is in DEFAULT? Do you have the means to actually repo a car? truck, tools, location of the car, etc? Does your state require a "right to cure" notice? Lots of variables here.
