How do you know the OP has "nothing to do" with what they are trying to repossess? The OP himself didn't even say that. What if the family member lives there? OP is evasive for a reason? |

Make sure they are right outside door. Start screaming "that's it, this ends now". Rack shotgun loudly. But seriously, give the damn car back already Eta: upon further thought I realized you may not have control over this family member or the car. That would suck So I guess do the shotgun thing Also maybe get naked and grease yourself up then stand in front of the window Maybe shine a spotlight back at them Nail 16 penny nails through small sections of plywood and place them just under on the ground in front of all Windows. Cover lightly with mulch. Make sure to take video when hilarity ensues Paintball grenades If none of that works strip up sections of sod. Dig pits. Cut 1/4" plywood to fit over holes. Replace sod.

Yeah, they came to my house to repo a car once. Two vehicles, one blocked the drive, dude went around to the back of the garage and tried to get in.
Minor problem: Deadbeat lived across the street. He had lived there three weeks and I'd never met the guy. I went to the door with a 1911. Dumbass started to chew my ass for coming to the door with a gun. Told him to get the fuck out and never come back. |

I would call your "family member" who didn't pay the loan on their car and tell them to take care of that so you don't have to deal with a repo guy bothering you!! |

This was my thinking. If the non-paying car owner is not on the premises, and the tow company had been told to FOAD in the past, caps would be busted in the general vicinity of said light. |

Have you considered getting enough of the brightest work/spot lights you can find to put one in each corner of your windows and turn each bank of light on as he goes to the corresponding window. Never say a word, simply blind the fuck out of him/ them. Do this every night until they stop

LOL another thread where Arfcom thinks it collectively knows things about the property recovery business because they saw the fake shows on TV. If they were at your pad OP, it's because some paperwork led them there, or one of the finders spotted the car in question there. Probably both. From this end, if your address is on the tags, loan, or insurance, you are fair game until it's recovered. If you're sure they are 100% incorrect about your involvement, call the company that has the order during office hours and tell them where to find the property they're looking for. Done deal. You don't find it's BS they're playing this shit at 1 in the fucking morning? If OP can only contact them during office hours then they should only do visits on office hours.

Telling the drivers you have nothing to do with a car is like talking to a brick wall. Their job isn't to think or know, it's to find cars and recover them without creating an incident or breaking the law. door for you, all you're going to do with that is start something unproductive to the business of finding cars. |

Also flashlights being shindd in the windows is protocol? If you're banging on my door and shining lights in my windows at 1am, you had better be wearing a readily identifiable LEO uniform. If not, then you will definitely be kissing the pavement at gunpoint while we wait for the LEOs to arrive. There is absolutely no excuse for harassing and terrorizing me in the middle of the night especially when I'm not the debtor and the car isn't there. We will be waiting for the police, they will get a complete ID on you, and you will be informed that if you or anyone else from your company or it's agents and representatives ever trespass on my property again you will be repelled with force. Probably in the form of bullets. There is absolutely no excuse for pulling shit like this. Not to mention that it's against several laws like harassment, stalking, prowling, trespassing, and the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. This is precisely why states and municipalities pass laws on exactly when, where, and how repo agents can pick up your car, like not entering private property, can't breach the peace, etc. When repo scum pull shit like that it's frightening to people and can very easily be seen as a threat, and they may respond accordingly. |

If he comes in my house things may change Why do they think the car is there? Does that family member live there? It's common for dead beats to hide cars from repo at friends and families homes.

Buddies first job out of college was for a giant repo company where he essentially combed through folks social media accounts to get any information possible for the folks trying to collect. Didn't matter if it was immediate family, extended family, friends, etc it was all on the table. The OP could easily be B/Sing here and he could be at fault, but the industry itself is shady as fuck and I know first hand they're willing to knock on doors at 1AM in which the address came from dubious means (I.E.
