Has your car ever been repo'd? Was it humiliating? Did you get in a fight with the repo man?

    No, but they came looking for a car a family member owned.  

    I saw this big burly man poking around our back yard and was scared out of my mind.  Sheer adrenaline propels me out the back door demanding to know what he was doing.  Yeh...he was looking for a car in a backyard that had no car access to it.  I then felt pretty pissed off that he was on my property and wasn't too bright.  LOL

    The family member didn't even live at my address either.

    Yes...and no.  I turned mine in at the dealership. No repo man.

    They must get paid REALLY well to take the chance of getting shot like that.

    Oh, I guarantee I was comic relief to the guy.  But yes, I would imagine there are people coming out there with guns.  It's not too smart to poke around someone's property without warning.  I probably wasn't too smart running out there not knowing what I was dealing with.

    I'm not the type to go 'round putting lead in people until I KNOW they're a threat, but most of those around me aren't so reserved.  If they saw a man skulking around in their back hard, they'd be hunting for his ID after the fact.

  • Nope...

    My dad was a repo man when he and my mom first got married.  He was working his way through college and he and my mom were a team. She would drive him to the location, he would swipe the car and she would follow him back to the drop-off. Many times they took me for the ride. lol

    Nope, thankfully I haven't. Those repo companies hire really big crazy guys who love beating the crap out of people. I'm not kidding! They look forward to doing repo jobs. They go there hoping for a fight.

  • Now they have a GPS cut'off switch. You don't pay, they cut off your ignition and you can't go anywhere.

    Nope.  I never bought a new (or any) car from a dealership.

    Why do you assume it only happens with new cars?

    I don't, hence the parenthetical qualification in my statement.
