Key Insights
What Can and Can’t Be Repossessed
Not all assets can be repossessed. For instance, land generally cannot be repossessed unless your contract stipulates a grace period. This grace period allows time to catch up on late payments. Failing to pay within this timeframe may lead to land being reclaimed by the original owner.
Managing Financial Hardships
If you’re out of work and can’t make payments, inform your creditor. Some contracts include Credit Accident and Health Insurance, which covers your debt if you're unable to pay due to illness for more than two weeks. Confirm if your contract includes this insurance to avoid repossession stemming from missed payments.
The Repossession Process
Repossessors cannot enter your home without permission. If someone attempts to break in, contact the police immediately. Even if they present legal documents, consulting a lawyer is advisable.
After Repossession
If your property is repossessed, you won’t have to continue paying for it, except in the case of vehicles. When a car is repossessed and sold, you're liable for the difference if it sells for less than your debt. However, any surplus from the sale is owed to you. Should a creditor sell the vehicle for a particularly low price to collect more money from you, report this to your lawyer as it is illegal.
Conclusion
Understanding repossession laws is vital to avoid losing your possessions and facing potential challenges in reclaiming them. It's far easier to prevent repossession than to recover your property afterward. Stay informed about your rights to safeguard your assets.
