If it's open access, yes. They cannot crash a locked gate or enter a building without permission.
can a repo man open a closed gate
No. However in most states it is a felony for someone to conceal a vehicle to prohibit a lender from repossesing it.
Yes! a repo agent can legally repossess collateral anywhere, as long as he doesn't breach the peace or break and enter into a locked garage or gate
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A REPO T.V. SHOW. IF YOUR GATE IS LOCKED THEY CAN'T ENTER. IF YOU GET IN THE CAR THE CAN'T TAKE THE CAR, THAT'S KIDNAPPING (BEING MOVED 3 FEET BEYOND YOU WILL). THEY CAN CALL THE POLICE. YES THE POLICE WILL BE ON THE SCENE WHILE THE REPO MAN DO HIS JOB.
Laws vary by jurisdiction... they can never force their way into a locked building, enter any vehicle other than the one they're repossessing, or open a locked gate... in most jurisdictions, they can open an unlocked gate, so long as they do it within the laws requiring peaceful repossession.
No, a repo man can enter your driveway but if the car is in a locked garage they do not have the right to enter without your permission. This rule applies to your home as well.
No, it would be a breach of peace which he can't do. But you must have proof it was locked.
They can go where they have open access to reacquire the lienholder's property. They cannot force their way through a locked door, cross a locked gate, or enter a vehicle other than the one up for repossession.
No.Not if the gate is locked. They would have to get a warrent. * The repo man will not come with a warrant. The Sheriff might if the bank has sued and a court has issued a Writ of Replevin. They can come on your property and as long as they do no damage they can take the car.
No one has the right to enter your property to repo a vehicle. I your vehicle is out in the street, then its fair game. If you see the repo man coming but has not hooked up to your vehicle, you legally still have possession of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has made contact with the truck the vehicle belongs to him.
Every state has its own rules, but the general rule of thumb is that an individual that works for a repo company can repo a car on prive property as long as the property is not locked (i.e. a locked gate surrounding the house, or if it's inside a locked garage).
