How can i find out of someone has had their car repossessed ?

Question

Can I get this info on line ? It is a matter of public record ?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

no, its not a matter of public record. personal financial information is considered private. unless you have authorization/permission to run a credit report on the individual. you could end up being socked with "invasion of privacy" if you obtain this type of information for personal use. most private investigators have their ways of obtaining such information but i doubt if it would be worth the cost.

Answer 2

jeff, I hate to have to tell you this but your screwed. And in a pretty big way. To start with the banks going to go after whoever can or will pay the balance due and believe me the balance is going to stagger you. They're going to add legal, repo costs and storage to the balance of the loan. By law they'll auction it off but at best it'll go far below it's true, normal wholesale value simply because by the time it gets to an auction block it'll have been towed, very poorly handled, possibly even damaged, ransacked or have parts removed and not cleaned and dirty. If you don't pay they'll ruin your credit, get a judgement and they'll just sit back and wait until either or both of you come into money and they'll be there with their hands out and if the amount you end up owing after the auction is staggering wait until you see the amount a few years of a judgement collecting an absorbitent amount of interest will cost you. About the only legal recourse you can give a try is sueing your ex, but the chances of your winning and than collecting are slim to none. The banks will never let you off the hook, especially now that you both defaulted on the loan, which by the way is now and has from the time you co signed, basically your loan. Depend on their coming after you. It's only hers if she pays. And if you do go to court, even if you win it'll be almost impossible to collect and if niether of you pay your credit will be shot no matter what. The other thing is if you everr want to finance a car, the meer fact your credited with a repo will kill any hope of that happening. Loan companys will tolerate just about anything but a bankrupsy or a repo. No s_ _ t,..A credit company would be more forgiving of your shooting their rep guy than your cars being repossed. Sorry to have to tell you this.

Answer 3

If you were the person who had the car repossessed, call your local police and tell them you'd either like to check to make sure it wasn't actually stolen or report it stolen.

Repo companies call the police (atleast here in Ontario) to report where and what they took. The police would be able to run the marker (license plate) and tell you who had it. If no one reported they took it, you'd have to report it stolen.

If you just want to find out about someone else's misfortune. You can't.
