- mindslight 7mo agoMore like catching the children. Think of the pedophiles.
- browsingonly 7mo agoRepossessing cars isn't societally harmful, quite the opposite in fact.
- JuniperMesos 7mo agoIf it was not possible or even just much harder to repossess a car, lenders would be much less willing to grant loans to people in order to buy a car.
- ProllyInfamous 7mo agoPrivate Investigators; vindictive ex-lovers; spiteful law enforcement; personal vendettae; abortion tracking... ...some combination of all of the above?!
- throwawaytea 7mo agoReturning a vehicle to a bank that someone has stopped paying for isn't exactly harm. If banks were unable to get vehicles back, people with bad credit would have a much harder time getting a vehicle in the first place.
- ProllyInfamous 7mo ago>much harder time getting a vehicle in the first place. This is a good thing; add "houses" to the list, too. Credit is too freely issued — we live on debt (as a society/world). I've seen people throw their $20k in negative equity into a new purchase/lease — and just been baffled. --but I agree: lenders oughta'be able to retrieve their lien'ed properties.
- quickthrowman 7mo agoRepossessing collateral on a secured loan is not a service designed to cause harm.
- mmmlinux 7mo agoThere are A LOT of throwaways talking about repossessing cars in this comment. that's a little weird. Guess I struck a nerve at some company.
