    Angry Repossession in New York

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: new york
    While sleeping my vehicle was repossesed from my property. When i came out of my home to question why the agent came on my property with his tow truck hooked up then towed my vehicle off my property he told me he cannot come in to a garage or fenced in yard. I find this very peculiar. He also stated other information which to me seemed very questionable. I then called the police who when responded didnt have a clue about what he can and cannot do. The repo agent also while waiting for the police officer stated i only made it more difficult to get my vehicle back. He then said he didnt bring his truck on the property which cast a little question of what is legal and not? In all he was a real jerk and i feel these guys operate within a very grey area of the law that i need clarification on. My question is, Is it legal for a repo person to go on private property to reposses a vehicle? if not what can i do legally to the company?

    They can come onto property and repo a vehicle. They can cut a lock off a fence etc. If you have the car in a garage, they can come with a sheriff with a court order for the garage to be opened.
