How can you get your possessions back after a repo the owner said he would not return items including cell phone drivers license etc. until 200.00 fee was paid?

If your personal belongings were taken during a repossession, it is important to take legal action to recover them. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Contact the repossession company. Send a written demand letter to the repossession company, requesting the return of your personal belongings. Include a list of the items, and if possible, provide proof of ownership such as receipts or photos.
  2. Dispute the fee. If the repossession company is charging a fee for the return of your belongings, you can dispute this fee. Send a letter to the company explaining why you believe the fee is unreasonable or unauthorized, and request that it be waived.
  3. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). If the repossession company is a member of the BBB, you can file a complaint with the organization. The BBB will investigate your complaint and may be able to help you resolve the issue.
  4. Take legal action. If you are unable to resolve the issue through negotiation or through the BBB, you may need to take legal action. You can file a lawsuit in small claims court to recover your personal belongings. Be sure to keep all of the documentation related to your case, including the repossession notice, your demand letter, and any correspondence from the repossession company.

It is important to act quickly if your personal belongings have been taken during a repossession. The sooner you take action, the more likely you are to recover your items.
