Can a repossession man take your car with you in the car?

In most cases, a repossession agent cannot legally tow your car while you are in it. However, there are some exceptions to this rule:

If you are committing a crime, such as driving under the influence, the police may impound your car and have it towed.

If your car is parked in a no-parking zone or is otherwise blocking traffic, the police may have it towed.

If your car is abandoned, a repossession agent may be able to tow it without your consent.

If you are behind on your car payments, a repossession agent may be able to tow your car without your consent, even if you are in it. However, the agent must first obtain a court order.

If you are concerned that your car may be repossessed, it is important to speak to an attorney.
