What can you do to protect your rights in the event your vehicle was damaged during repossession?

[Edit]

Answer

Mark, you should be prepared to PROVE any recent damage to your vehicle. Scamming to repo comapny about 'damages" is old news. I'll admit, it DOES happen. But not as often as you might like to think. Usually, when someone comes to P/U a repoed car screaming damage, you KNOW they have been primed by the scam artists. The wheel lift trucks in use today are designed for DAMAGE FREE towing. Good Luck

Answer

Do not waste your time and energy with the repo they are agents for the lenders sue the lender either in small claims or with a lawyer. At least you will bring the lenders attention to the scum they employ.
