Understanding Wrongful Repossession
Wrongful repossession occurs when a lender or repossession company takes your vehicle or property without following proper legal procedures. In Florida, specific repossession laws must be adhered to, and failing to meet these requirements can make the repossession illegal.
Some common signs of wrongful repossession include:
- Taking your car without proper notice
- Repossessing despite your account being current
- Use of threats, force, or breaking into private property
- Failing to notify you of your right to reclaim the property
If any of these apply to your situation, it’s crucial to consult a legal professional immediately.
Repossession Laws in Florida
What Does Florida Law Say?
Under Florida repossession laws, lenders have the right to repossess property when a borrower defaults on a loan. However, the process must be “peaceful” and follow specific legal procedures. For instance, they cannot:
- Enter a locked garage or secured area without permission
- Use physical force or threats
- Mislead or deceive the borrower
- Fail to provide a proper notice of sale after the repossession
Your Rights After Repossession
Florida law also protects your rights after a vehicle or asset has been repossessed. You may be entitled to:
- Notification of the sale date and location
- The right to buy back your vehicle before it’s sold
- A detailed accounting of how sale proceeds were used
If a lender fails to uphold these obligations, you may have a strong case for wrongful repossession.
