Collections Law/Statue of Limitations for Repo

Advertisement

Expert: - 10/1/2010


Question
What is the statue of limitations on a vehicle repo in the state of California?

Answer
From everything I've read the statue of limitations on repossessions runs about 7 to 10 years in most states. This can vary. I was unable to find the specific law for California.  Sorry I could not be more specific.

I did see one article that has a good suggestion in it.  Call a used car dealer and ask them.

Expertise

I am qualified to answer questions on the following subjects: FDCPA, FCRA and HIPAA as well as medical collections, general collections and collection agency related issues. I trained these subjects at a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center and audited around 150 representatives for compliance to the laws. I have been in the Collections Industry for over 30 years. I feel that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with compassion and that is the way I trained collectors. Even though I worked for a Collection Agency, I get great satisfaction in helping those who have been mistreated or in need of help with these confusing issues.

Experience

I was the Compliance Administrator with a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center-I have trained hundreds of collectors on the above referenced topics. I have been in the medical collections industry for over twenty years and research these topics on a daily basis.
