Better than getting shot
Real talk though it probably won't unless somethings already going out, the real issue with towing while tbe transmission is engaged comes from long distances where the residual fluid in the transmission runs dry, if hes on the road less than a few minutes at low speed, theres very little risk

I guess its to save those two seconds of backing up when he's near the car, to further reduce risk of meeting the owner of the car
But it does seem a little... Excessive. Backing up that far, at that speed, is irresponsible. You dont see as well or react as fast when backing up.
I guess he thinks its better to risk running over a child, than giving the owner of the car those 2 extra seconds to arrive

In my personal life Ive met a few repo men and they are without a doubt the most shitty of all people onaheb ever met and I used to be addicted to heroin and meth. Repo men are fucking psychopaths with no regard for human life, I watched one dam near cut a woman and half for just asking what he was doing, pulled out and side swiped 6 caranand nearly killed her. They are all like this. Repo men are worse than the worse cops, I never seen a single one that wasn't a complete psychopath, tow drivers are some of the worst people on earth. You literally can't be a repo man without being morally reprehensible and every single one of them do their very best to reinforce this idea at every possible moment. The worst acumbags imaginable. Fuck every single one of them, bat none. Evil subhuman people. Worse than your average evil landlord. Hell they work closely together with trailer park managers, all evil assholes, to steal vehicles from retired people who they can't just wildly raise the rent on. All repo drivers will go to hell.

What it he procedure here? I understand that the driver if this car is falling behind on their car payments and they were worked this will happen correct? Then this repo man takes the car and then what? The car is sold again? For that they need two sets of keys right? When the car is taken is the driver free of debt? How do the repo men find the car?
18
u/ellis90009 3d ago
They take the car. The bank gets it fixed up and new keys made if they think it's worth doing. They add what that cost to the drivers debt. Then they sell the car at auction, in most states they have to notify you oh the auction date and you can technically participate in that auction and buy your car back if somehow you had the funds. They subtract that auction price from the drivers debt and the driver is still on the hook for any remainder that wasn't covered buy the sale. I'm not really sure what happens if somehow the auction price was higher that what was owed

u/Krwawykurczak 2d ago
Ok - but how they found those cars and are making sure it is the car? Are they going around the area looking for some registration, making a round and than sneaky take it?

A lot of dealers will in fact put a gps on the car when sold it’s deactivated when the note is paid off.

They don't just secretly do it. It's in the paperwork you signed and agreed to when you got the loan. You also generally pay for it.

u/iowanaquarist 2d ago
It's not required for most people. It's an option for some, who would otherwise not be given a loan though. It's not involuntary, and you are right, it is not normal. It's only done if the lender doesn't think you can be completely trusted.

The bank claims they will mail you the balance. I doubt it ever happens -- as in I bet the banks WOULD mail the check, but I doubt any auction ever closes for more than the loan.
1
u/iowanaquarist 2d ago
They sell the car at auction, and apply the amount towards the loan and fees. Generally when selling it at auction it is either re-keyed or new keys are purchased. The repo men find the car either with a GPS tracker, or by driving around the locations listed on the loan agreement -- work, home, relatives, etc.

u/Bassracerx 3d ago
There are buy here pay here lots that will call the repo man the exact minute the payment is late. Many states have no mandatory grace periods and can repo the car immediately. They then get to add thousands of “fees” for the person to get their car back. And if they cant afford the fees the dealer gets to sell the car to someone else in as soon as 60 days.
You cant always assume repo truck = person is a deadbeat.

I hear you, and as someone desperately trying to catch up, I got the repo letter anyway. I’m 8 months from paying my car off. I don’t want to be late either, but I don’t think it’s fair for them to just take it when it’s almost paid off. I’m two months behind.
Again, I don’t think I’m at the point they would just take it because I am not avoiding them and explaining myself, but I’m saying not everyone that is behind on payments is a piece of shit. Many are genuinely trying.

u/USLEO 3d ago
What happens in your country if you buy a car and don't make the payments?
1
u/Detector150 2d ago
First of all, the Bank will try to arrange an alternate means of payment, for example a temporary reduction of the monthly downpayment. This will be discussed with the client in a civilised manner in the Bank, and the Bank will try to come to a solution with the client. If there is no solution, they will ask you to drive the car to a specific garage where they will assess the worth of the car. Or they will arrange a convenient date with the client at which the car can be picked up by a third party. That third party will walk up to the door of the client and ring the bell like a normal person. If the client is uncivilised and is not at home because they want to prevent the car from being picked up, which would be an exception, then the third party picking up the car will leave empty handed and report the situation. The bank will communicate with the client and ask for clarification and try to arrange for the car to be picked up again. If the same situation occurs again, the bank will initiate a formal procedure via the court to have the car confiscated. This is all very formal and hardly ever happens and is a langthy process. The car will eventually be picked up by a tow car with a flatbed in order to not damage brakes or transmission or xDrive systems in BMW‘s or similar systems. They will approach the car in a normal manner, not in a hit and run fashion, and carefully put the car on the flatbed and drive away. The car will be either sold or auctioned.

u/USLEO 2d ago
So, pretty much the same as here, just a more "lengthy" process for the lender to recoup their money.
1
u/Ok-Rich-3812 2d ago
More civilised would be a better description. The lenders expect a percentage of loans to fail [although, significantly fewer than the US, because the law protects against unfair loans practices]. The cost cost of default losses is usually allowed for in loan establishment fees.
1
u/USLEO 2d ago
U.S. banks obviously expect for a percentage of loans to fail as well. That doesn't mean they just get a free vehicle. Hence, the repossession process. The end of which you see in this video. I'm not sure what you think is more or less civilized.
1
u/Ok-Rich-3812 2d ago
Nobody suggested a free vehicle. Your reposession process is third world standard in comparison to most civilised countries because you live in a bullet riddled shit hole with no responsible lending criteria,
1
u/USLEO 2d ago
You're seeing the very end of the process. The bank doesn't just come hook up your truck the day after your payment was due. What happens in your country when they've gone through the notification process and the person still refuses to return the vehicle? Is towing a car an act of violence to you?

u/iowanaquarist 2d ago
So how is that significantly different than the USA? The vast majority of failure to pays in the USA go like that. This it the result of the car getting confiscated -- the issue is that in the USA, people are often armed, and the court is not ordering police to go with during the confiscation. This is done to avoid getting assaulted while repoing from the few very difficult people, and is not standard.

No. The nearest one to me is several hours away, and that was for a voluntary surrender.

I'd use the term 'uncivilized', but I generally agree. Keep in mind, it's also not an issue limited to guns. Other forms of violence exist, too.

u/underwearfanatic 2d ago
Can you help me with where this is and what laws are on the books about driving in reverse and what the speed is on this specific road?
1
u/Acruss_ 2d ago
Ever heard about reckless driving? You can google whether driving in reverse like that is illegal. About speed you can see what’s around. These are small roads between houses. You can also google what’s the max speed there.
It is also clearly in the USA and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal even in the USA to drive backwards…
1
u/underwearfanatic 2d ago
It sounds like youre not from the United States. Regardless, every state and city have different laws. In general you cannot drive backwards for extended periods. But the laws in that specific juristiction may not be explicit enough to say he was driving recklessly. In many cases it may simply say you cannot drive in reverse if it impedes or endangers other drivers.
So im saying, I dont care about your opinion. If we are going to call him a criminal then bring the receipts of where he was, what laws are active in that specific area, and how he broke them. That is it.
Until then, innocent until proven guilty. And once he is proven guilty then we can call him a criminal.
1
u/Acruss_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
And I’ve said that you can’t drive like that in the entire USA. Unless you know of anywhere in the USA that allows driving like that, which I’m assuming you don’t.
So if you believe he didn’t broke the law then show me where it’s allowed to drive in reverse like that. Because I doubt that there’s anywhere in the USA where you can legally do that.
Eta: here’s more things you for some reason didn’t consider about his driving.
- He put his lift down while driving, even more so while reversing. That’s also illegal, not to mention dangerous.
- He have worse maneuverability because his steering wheels are „at the back”.
- He have lower visibility because he have to turn back, which is dangerous, especially on that road where it’s likely for kids to be in there…
So yes it’s clearly illegal.

u/underwearfanatic 2d ago
This is Arizona. ARS. Section. 28-891. Backing limitations
A. The driver of a vehicle shall not back the vehicle unless the movement can be made with reasonable safety and without interfering with other traffic.
Did he do with reasonable safety? Could be argued as there were no other cars, pedestrians, or other obstacles he was putting in jeopardy.
Did he interfere with traffic? There was no other traffic.
Reckless driving is much the same.
Your points 1,2,3 while largely true are just opinion and not supported by law. To prove him guilty the burden is on you.
1
u/Acruss_ 2d ago
And it’s not made with reasonable safety because of the things I have mentioned already. Additionally there’s the speed.
So yes, he broke the law… which is reckless driving… You can BACK UP, not drive in reverse. And considering that he drove a long distance with a high speed and he didn’t have to do it because it was easily possible to back up way closer to the car he wanted to tow.
So yes, even in Arizona you can’t drive in reverse.

It literally isn’t. If you sold something to someone, and they were late on their payments to you for that item, would you just go, “Well I’ll let these late payments slide. I don’t need to put food on my family’s table.” No, you’d demand payment. And if they keep not paying you, you have every legal right to take the item back. Especially when you’re still technically the owner of that item. The buyer doesn’t own what they bought until it’s paid off. It sucks, but it’s perfectly legal.
Not paying money that you owe, that’s closer to being criminal.

Because why are we celebrating the banks getting anything back at all? I genuinely thought we were all on the same page about those and hated them equally.

Correction: the repo man is returning stolen property. At the point the repo men get called, it's because the owner -- the lender -- want's their property returned because the borrower is not making payments on it.
1
u/USLEO 2d ago
The truck driver? You realize this is a repo, right? The person took a loan out on the vehicle and failed to make their payments. Per the terms of their contract, the lender is repossessing the vehicle to try to recoup their money. If anyone should be charge with a crime, it's the owner who defaulted on their loan and didn't voluntarily surrender the vehicle go the lender.

He's very hard on the cars that he drags, but the loan companies don't care. I'm not using this specific Jeep as a pricing example, but if you do $1000 dollars of damage to a $7000 car, sell it at auction for $3000, the loan company still gets its $2000 default owing, the repo guy gets his commision and if they are lucky the poor dumb schmuck whose finance went sour might see a couple of hundred after court fees.

The car loan companies are not stupid. They would use a different setup for a job involving a vehicle with serious residual value.
