Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Car repo question

They can not misrepresent their legal actions in order to intimidate you into turning over the car. They can not "put a warrant out for you." That can only be done by law enforcement. I would speak with an attorney as soon as possible to evaluate your case as you may have a cause of action against them.

Re: Car repo question

Why are you hiding from them? Do you honestly think that they won't find the car, and will just drop the matter entirely? You need to be smart, and make arrangements to surrender the vehicle. It is possible that they have filed a police report and reported the vehicle is stolen - once they demand return of the vehicle, and you fail to turn it over, it can become a criminal matter. Again, unless there is more to this than you posted here, just do your mom a favor and return the car. After six months of no payment, you have no right to retain it, and it could get you in deeper than you already are.

Call the police to see if there's a warrant.
