Car towed for late payment, do I have legal rights?

Car loan companies usually wait until you miss three payments before they come and get your car.\n\nYou can try and take some sort of legal action, but your car will be gone before anything gets resolved. I would get the money together and pay the loan company and the repossession  folks soonest................

If you have any Consumer Forum, in your place, which I am sure must be, you must bring an action. Before doing that, you must formally issue a notice, bringing to his attention that the first serviceman had not done any thing worth while, warranting a payment and that there was deficiency of service on his part. In the notice, explaining the above circumstances, that you are not liable to pay for it. Further, you may ask for payment from the company for deficiency of service and for the mental agony that his action asking for further sum on service had caused on you.

Read the contract you signed and see what it says. If there is nothing in it saying they had the right to repo the car, then call the police and report it stolen by the dealership.

He has the right to block you in so you can't go anywhere.  If you were going to turn the car over yourself, you should have done that before the repo man got there.  There was nothing wrong with him unlocking the door, putting the car in park, or taking the keys since the car and the keys belong to the bank that hired him to repo the car.  Since you were refusing to get out of the vehicle yourself, he should have called the police.  They could have forced you out of the car.  Maybe you should just consider yourself lucky that the police were not involved.  If you didn't want these things to happen, you should have paid the money that you owe.

They put you in Jail until you pay. Sort of like Suspending a Teen from school for 3 days because they Skipped once. If you see what I saying?\nBUT, usually you can call the Court Clerk and make payment arrangements. IF, not, they do not come looking for you. Normally, if you get pulled over for some reason, the Officer will find this out then. Impound your car and take you to Jail!

I'm sorry about your string of bad luck. Let's take these one by one.  Insurance should cover part of the cost of the stolen car.  As to ebay, how did you pay? Paypal is supposed to deal with this sort of thing, as is your credit card--not receiving the goods paid for constitutes a "billing error" and you can file a complaint with your credit card company, if you used one.  If you paid with a money order or check, then you should still notify ebay, but also contact the State or District Attorney or consumer protection agency where the car seller is located, as what the seller did can constitute criminal theft. as well as fraud.  The house is a different matter:  why did you go to settlement if you didn't want to?  Why did you sign a contract to buy that house if you didn't want it?  I think you might be stuck on that one, I don't see fraud there based just on what you wrote here.  Besides, even if you don't like the house , you got a valuable asset for your money, and you can always sell it later and make a profit.

Contact the SFPD, ask for the Parking Enforcement Division and see if anyone there can answer that.  I assume you don't want to pay it because you are fighting it and not just blowing it off right?  If you wish to contest it you will likely have to meet with a Hearing Officer and plead your case.  However I could be totally wrong, that is just how it is done were I am from.

First of all, the fact that your landlord has a late fee does not give you blanket permission to be late.  \n\nThey say you were served with a Notice to Quit on 10/16.  You had 3 days to pay or they were going to terminate your lease for late payment(s).  You didn't pay.  They terminated your lease.  If they accept any more rent from you, it will make their notice invalid and unenforceable.   In other words, they don't want your money ... they just want you out because you always pay late.\n\nIf you never got the Notice, you may be able to challenge this in court.  Also, you need to find out the laws in your state to find out if one notice is enough to get you out.  Every state has laws on how the notice must be served, what the notice must contain, and so forth.  Perhaps they did not follow the law.\n\nIn any case, they need a court order to get you out.  Once you stay past the vacate by date, they will file in court to have you evicted as a holdover tenant.  You will get a chance to challenge the service of and the legality of the notice at that time.

Because people feel they are entitled to.  Americans feel they have a right to a roof over their head, food to eat and a car to drive.  Anyway, that problem may end soon.  Cars are coming out that if your payment is late, the car is disabled and won't start until you make the payment.

CarCraze --- you are wrong, sorry to say\n\nWhat you have there, my dear, is a bona fide Court Order for you to appear in court to answer to a Motion to Collect a Debt. If it is on Court paper and has a case number, call the Court to confirm the Docket Number, and find out when the hearing date is.\n\n\nYES, they do have that power.\n\nYES, That is the equivalent of a Subpoena.\n\nIf you "just let it ride", as you say, don't be surprised when you open up your paycheck and you find a good chunk of it GONE !\n\nWhat you should do:\n\nSeek legal counsel (get a lawyer) and come up with a manageable payment plan that is both satisfactory to your creditor, and workable for you.\n\nDON'T HESITATE - you will regret it.

I totally agree- the best you can do is post a handicap only sign and antoher one saying violators will be towed at owners expense.  If these are clearly marked then you can call and have them towed if a non-eligible person parks there.  As long as you specify towing at owners expense you cannot be charged for anything.\n\nThis is why we live in a nation where the largest health risk is obesity- people are too damn lazy to walk the 10 feet across the parking lot!

In most States NO. (check your local laws). \n\nMost states state that the landlord can not change the locks on you for a missed payment. She has to go through the "Eviction Process" and can only take your deposit and sue you for the remainder owed. She can not lock you out, sell your belongings, or kick you to the street without going through the legal process.\n\nThe legal process usually gives you 3 months in most states. Of course I'm assuming your late rent isn't that overdue??? But she would need to issue you an Eviction notice weeks in advance of Eviction.\n\nGet legal help.

they should send you a paper that states wo to call or where to write if you had and property in the vehicle. seems unfair they should have to at least mail it to you but nope you have the burden of getting it back wherever it may be. they will also include a day and time that they will auction off the vehicle so you can have a chance to buy back. also just in case noone told you you will also be responsible for the amout of the loan over that of which they auction the vehicle off for.

Payment on what? Your question needs details.\n\nAre you refering to a mortgage payment or a car payment? Perhaps if the payment is late, it is a breach of contract so they can refuse and force the articles of the contract.

Yes you can! When you with hold rent the send you a court notice, take the proof (pictures, letters saying you called to have it fixed and whatever else proof you have) with you to court, tell the judge the reason show the proof and that they didn't fix it and that you asked to have it fix and nothing was done. If the judge sees it in your favor you won't have to pay the rent until it gets fix (he will order then landlord to fix it), and you won't have to pay the late fee because you had probable cause, but if he doesn't see it in your favor, you'll have to pay the owed rent money right away and possible the late fee

The slope belongs to whoever the ticketing officer says it belongs to.  I'm not trying to be funny, it's just the way it is.  If it got towed it must have been there quite a while or actually been blocking the driveway enough to cause someone to complain.\n\nYou can take pictures and fight, but without proof (you'd have had to take pictures BEFORE the car got towed) you might not have any chance.  If you do fight it in court, just showing up might enable you to negotiate to onl pay half of the fines, though.\n\nGood luck!
