Good morning,

I'm very sorry to hear of your situation.

While the repossession company does have the right to technically trespass on your property, it is unlawful to enter a closed building or structure in an attempt to recover the item to be repossessed. It is also unlawful for them to create a breach of the peace in the recovery process.

However, if for example, a car is in the Driveway, the tow operator may come onto the property to effect the hookup---and even move other vehicles if necessary to get that the vehicle to be repossessed. Locking it in a garage is the best protection available.

I wish you the best in 2012.

I understand that you may be disappointed by the Answer you received, as it was not particularly favorable to your situation. Had I been able to provide an Answer which might have given you a successful legal outcome, it would have been my pleasure to do so.

You may reply back to me using the Reply to Expert link if you have additional questions; and if you do, I ask that you please keep in mind that I do not know what you may already know or with what you need help, unless you tell me.

Kindly take a moment to rate my service to you based on the understanding of the law I provided. I have no control over the how the law impacts your particular situation, and I trust that you can understand how it would be unfair for me to be punished by a (negative rating) ----the first 2 stars/faces----for having been honest with you about the law.

Thank you,

Doug
