August 2020 Repo News

Experts are expecting a higher level of auto repossessions this fall. This is expected due to the tough financial times many consumers are experiencing and the lift of repo bans several states enacted earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another repo almost turns violent in Idaho:

On June 28, the repo man said he saw the car sitting in an open garage so he backed up the tow truck and began securing the Soul to the truck. He reported the family tried closing the garage door and when that failed, Terry’s wife got into the driver’s seat and tried driving the Soul away.

“Troy then went back into the house and returned holding an SKS rifle,” an officer writes in his report.”(The repo man) told me that Troy pointed it at his chest, put his finger on the trigger, and said, ‘I’m going to F—– kill you.’”

It sounds like a bad situation for everyone. The car owner has criminal charges against him and the repo agent and secured party are potentially on the hook for the breach of the peace.
