go get a cheap paint job and then go to the junk yard see if you can pull a vin tab off of the left hand side front dash of the car do it carefuly then put it over your vin tab but make it looks good take your time don't do it cheesy like. repo dudes look for the color and vin # on the dash at night so make it hard for them.park it a few blocks away from your house put a cheap bike in the trunk so you don't have to walk so far and watch out for spotters they will follow you to the supermarket or something then call the repo man to come get it while youre shopping bike

Just so you know, if it is parked in a locked fence or a garage they cannot legally take it but they have been known to follow you until they can get it....like to the store. Park it at another persons house but in a garge or fence. But only if you intend on catching up with your payments don't steal. Nothing wrong with keeping them at bay a bit cause really they can't wait to get it back and screw you worse. Just pay them asap!
I only sympathize because i am 3 1/2 years into a five year loan missed 1 payment and woke up to my truck being towed. Only missed it cause i had alot going on and forgot but got it back the same day. They didnt call me, send a leter or nothing. I really felt cause they had made more than what they had shelled out already i was just about to get screwed. Companies are just dirty dawgs =)

I did not know so many people felt that they where owed so much, there is no free lunch people. Get a job, pay for your toys, or give them back, it is that simple.. As for the Repo Man, he is just making a living, doing a job, the real person to be pissed at is some bean counter in the loan office you used to buy the vehicle in the first place. Or yourself for being stupid enough to let them talk you into something you could not really afford in the first place. I qualify for a 250K home and at least 2 brand new vehicles. I could not afford to make the payments very long so why would I be stupid enough to fall into that trap. Oh I know so I could blame the repo guy for "taking my stuff" it is not yours if you do not pay for it.. Plain and simple pay for it or give it back.. otherwise you are the thief not the repo man he is just trying to recover the loan offices property, and it is thiers until you pay it off, read your contract before signing it.. Come on people this is why the country is in such bad shape, give me give me give me attitude.. You earn what you get or you do not get it, and if you do not belong in this country duck I shoot illegal aliens and have a license to do so.. ;-) wtf

zabasearch.com -- for one...there are others that have to be paid for. If you get any bills or have utilities it's EASY to find you. I've found a couple of people who have no idea I know where they are...not gonna do anything about them, just like knowing where the sob's ARE.

Almost all late model computerized pieces of crap have a type of Lojack installed.This is why the push to get older cars off the road(even 36mpg imports).

You will be found and your car will be taken and the money you already paid will be kept and your car will be auctioned off for a fraction of it's value and you will be billed the difference between it's inflated Kelly Bluebook Value and what it sold for at auction.

You would be better off to strip the car for parts and send the empty hulk to the bottom of a strip pit(right along with it's tracking device).

Re: How do repo men find your car if the finance company doesn't have a current work or home address?
sheesh, I can't beleive all the bad advice that the OP is getting to commit illegal behaviour. What are you trying to do here, get him arrested??? Do some people get their kicks out of this kind of thing?

To OP: Dont even think about doing anything illegal.

I was a skiptracer for over 10 years for 2 major fiancing companies of autos. here are the REAL facts

1-there are no secrets anymore, the smallest thing can get you found. I once found a car from a newspaper article where the debtor had previously had an article in his state printed about him where his horse had won some kind of event. I simply called the debtor's local horse stables and clubs and got put in touch with him.

I once found another car by knowing that the debtor always bowled on Tues nights. Repo guy simply checked the 2 local bowling alleys on Tues nights, until the car showed up.

2- A Skiptracer CAN call your relatives, neighbors etc, what they CANT do is discuss with those people why you need to talk to them or what its about, that is considered giving info to third parties and IS illegal. All a ST can do is leave a message, or try to get info by pretending you are a long lost friend, etc. ST can NEVER pretend to be a cop.

3-The auto co's really do not want their cars back, they are too devalued, they would prefer you man up, call them and make arrangements and DONT make them hunt you down. (then they have added costs in paying a skiptracer)

if you simply have been out of work for too long to even consider making any kind of payment, turn the car back in, again DONT make them hunt you or their car down. THAT is when you get those law suits for the balance of what they couldnt get for the car at auction. Otherwise, if you just try to keep working with them, and just cant pay, they generally write off the balance without trying to get it from you after auction

4-while I realize it's a vicious cycle in that no job= no money to pay for the car and no car =no way to look for a job, it is still best to do the right thing, even if you have to ride a bus to job hunt for a while. you WILL eventually recover and be able to get another car.

5-There are 3 situations where a car cannot be repo'd without your signing an agreement to it (at least there used to be , I have been out of it for a couple years now,) but the states of Louisiana, Michigan (or it might be Minnesoto, cant rememeber) and an Indian reservation all have these laws. it is then up to the repo guy to talk the debtor into signing the form that allows them to legally repo it.

6-Do NOT destroy their car, again this is when you get those after auction lawsuits.

7-If you are employed and you tell them to stop calling your job,, they HAVE to immediately. If you tell them to STOP calling your house, then this must be in writing. If they break those laws, now YOU have the upperhand. so know your rights. There are also laws about the TIMES of the day that you can be called, as well as how MANY times per day they can call you.

8-While it's true that they cannot open a garage or a locked fence gate to get the car, unless you plan to not ever use it to go to a store etc, why are you even hanging onto it? beleive me, they will be watching for the first slip up of your moving that car into neutral territory such as a store, or a friend's house.

9-if you do manage to keep it hidden for about 6 months, they generally write off the car, but beleive me, you are now flagged and on a regular basis, they look at your credit report, and other sources, for your next job, and THAT is when the straight out garnishemnts begin. You will never be free of this debt, if you do not handle it right.

There are statutes of limitations as to how long they have to file lawsuits, but they simply get their judgements during that time, and can then COLLECT on that judgement whenever they can, via your next job, etc. OR ANYTHING you own of value, such as a bank account that you may get in
the future.

10-All this biz of the cops helping to find your car is crap, they dont care, its a civil matter, unless the ST has a connection in your local police dept, which is always very very likely, trust me.

11-beleive me, all I need is your name, and ANY city you have ever lived in to find you, I dont even need your SSN. All of which are on the credit app that you originally filled out.

So your being unable to make car payments is the banks fault how? You signed an agreement using the car as collateral for the loan. You are an adult correct? Understand what a contract is?

If you cant pay, dont make a repo man find your car. Let them have it and run your life in a responsible manner.


i've been unemployed since march and unable to land another job. fuck off.

Re: How do repo men find your car if the finance company doesn't have a current work or home address?
fuck the haters

the banks are the bottomfeeders here

make a car payment and the bank says ok payment times 10 and loans it out again at usurious rates.

so ten car payments and an auction and the bank has a hundred grand to loan out . plus you are still on the hook for any unpaid balance.


Yeah, how dare those banks loaning people money for things they dont have the cash for. Bastards! They even make money off the deals! What the hell do they think they are, a for profit business or something?

And the nerve of them actually wanting me to pay back the cash I was given. Dont they understand I HAVE PROBLEMS!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 432008

They spent the last 40 years destroying our purchasing power so they could get us hooked on usury. Before their interference a kid with a minimum wage job could buy a NEW CAR ON 6 MONTHS PAY!

Hanging is too good for them, take anything you can and if you ever catch one of those bastards alone,do the world a favor and hold his face in the toilet for about 10 minutes!

Then I'll call the guy that lives across the street from your brother.

Then I'll call the management of the trailer park/ apartment complex.

a repo driver can not touch you if you are in the car and will not get out. let them touch you i dare you because you will end up keeping your car and they will go to jail..
and as for as it being elegal to hide your car , they have to prove you are hiding it .. example you have two jobs, when you get home your wife takes the car to work.. even if you are hiding it they cant prove it.. take and trade cars with your brother , or go rent a car for 19.95 a day when my car is home I sleep in my car with a 357 mag. and somethimes i leave my dog in the car at nite repo man will get a big supprise

They trace you just like a private investigator would. They'll find you and if they don't they'll file theft charges for the car. It's best to give in.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1012423


So many idiots think they can file theft charges. If it were that easy, they wouldn't need skip tracers and repo men.

You posess the car legally. They do have the right to reposess (if and when they find it), you have not stolen it and no charges can be filed. It's cat and mouse. If you can keep away, then you get away.
