can they come to your place of employment?

Are you getting your car reposessed? Because they can come to your place of employment to take it. As long as the car isn't in a garage with the door closed, they can take it. This happened to a co-worker of mine, the repo man showed up in our parking lot and took his car.

Yes, the only thing they cannot do is breach the peace, or breaking-and-entering.

Now, depending where you park the car at your employer, it may be on private property. But if the employer doesn't tell them to leave (or if they take it before the employer tells them to leave) then you can't really do anything.

I knew a guy who worked for the City of Chicago, and he would park his car in one of the parking garages. The city wouldn't let the repo guys into the garage. So they waited one morning for the guy to pull around the corner; the repo-ers pulled their truck in front of the entrance to keep him from pulling in the garage. Needless to say, they got the car.

If it isn't in a garage they can. I work for the govt. and they came onto our parking lot and took the car, the police were called and stated the repo man wasn't trespassing and could take the car.

Also, don't know about other states, but Illinois has the Conditional Sales Protection Act that actually makes it a criminal offense to conceal mortgaged property for the purpose of preventing a lienholder from excercising their rights. Don't know if any finance company has ever been successfull in pressing charges, though.
