Compensation for a wrongful vehicle repossession in state of ohio

If u were several payments behind, & made up those payments & the repossession order was not immediately pulled & ur car was taken within a short time after making the payments, there is probably nothing u can do. Yes, some finance companies will take ur money to get something from u & not bother to tell u they r calling the loan & u owe the full balance to get ur car back, & will go ahead with the repossession anyway.

If that is not ur situation, ur payments were up, & they took it wrongfully, that is car theft. Call the police & they will have to return it, or show a valid repossession order from ur bank.

If they have a valid repossession order from ur bank, then it is between u & the bank.

If the vehicle was taken wrongly in a repossession, call the police. It was a theft. Repossession would have legitimate paperwork & an order attached. If it was incorrect, then it was theft. If the situation has been resolved & u have the vehicle back, then u may go after them for the transportation costs u incurred while it was gone. You can try to take it to court & ask for more, but good luck. The chance of that happening r pretty slim. If the car is still gone, then call the police & report it stolen, because that is what it is. But have the paperwork to back yourself up, available.
