My little brother asked me to pick up his truck and hide it so it would not be repossed. I said no but I was wondering what the reprocussions would be if it did hide it.

Thank you for all the answers. I want to help my brother but I do not want to get involved with this. if he did not pay then that is his own fault..

48 of the 50 states have on the law books they can repo it in a non violent manner ... and if you say no and its on private property they can not touch it .... rememebr to park it in the yard and lock the gate ... if they come inside of gate without permission its criminal tresspassing and they can be arrested for theft of property

No repercussions for you unless you are driving without a valid driver's license.
The people repossesing the vehicle are hired by the bank or financial institution are not law enforcement, just individual contractors.
All you are doing is "buying time" as the bank knows where your brother works, parents, etc. when he filled out the loan application. He and his vehicle will be found unless he plans on never using his vehicle at the addresses listed on the application.

In most states, they cant take it if you contest it, at the time they are there trying to take it. If you do contest it, they will most likely block it in and call the sheriff. I went through this with an insurance company after an accident. they had made the only offer they were going to, and tried to take from my barn with a re-possessor. Their problem was that I had a mechanics lien against it, for the storage costs that they agreed to in court, and hadn't paid for. I WON....

if it is up for Reposession then the bank or creditor has the info on his credit report and if he put you down for a reference then they will check your address also to see if the car is there. it is better to make contact with them and surrender the auto are make the payment they will find the car and it and the costs goes on what he owes

You can be charged with a crime. It belongs to the company who ordered the repossessing of it.

i'm not sure about that but i know that they will not stop looking for it. if he drives it to work or school they'll get it there or they'll come in the middle of the night and pick it up.one way or the other they will get it. you should not get involved

reop agents are paid only when they repo the vehicle, as long as you/he is in possession of the vehicle it legally belongs to him!
