  • 14 videos so far in the month of August uploaded for you guys. I told you I had a serious backlog of footage to get to and I am spending every free moment I have trying to get as much of it online before the truck is done.
    In this episode I am showing a typical repossession on one of our more common vehicles (Chevy Tahoe) that is parked in a secured POE parking lot. For those of you who are new to the channel that stands for Place Of Employment.
    I try to avoid picking up vehicles while debtor's are at work because it can cause more harm than good so we use this as a last resort. If they are keeping the vehicle locked in a closed garage or we simply do not have a good address then this ends up being our only option.
    So my advice to anyone that may find themselves in a similar situation is communicate with your lender and keep them informed at all times so you don't have to come out of work and find what this guy found... NOTHING but an empty parking spot.
    Once I am back behind the wheel f the Repo Ninja I will be back to 24/7 catch up on all the repossession work I have so enjoy the flood of videos while it lasts.

    I got repo'd a few years back. It was a really dark time in my life where I was just not handing business the right way. I was extremely reckless and irresponsible. Honestly, I'd thank the gentleman that came to my house to take the car, if I could. I didn't argue with the guy. I knew exactly what was happening. I handed over my keys and asked if I could take my pack of cigarettes out of the car. He allowed me to. I got my shit together and in a few days paid what was owed in back payments. Got the car back. Fast forward, I now own the car and never again missed a payment. On anything. My credit has gone up significantly. I've also quit smoking and drinking. will be 5 months soon.
    I'm saying this less to stroke my own ego and more to help any of you out that think what you're dealt is as good as it gets. It's not. You can do better... a lot better.

    I've been working security for 20+ years. I've never felt the need to grief someone for doing their job. Repo men, and Process servers are doing a job. If someone can't afford their vehicle, then they need to be grown ups and give it up.

      Hey kid, you think you know what you are talking about, but you don't. If the debtor enters into this type of agreement, then he should know that he can lose it if the business go's bankrupt. Not the finance comp. fault. The debtor made a bad decision. Grow up and get an education.

    My mom has a Yukon XL of this generation. She locked the keys in it at a store and it took me two hours to break into it. I ended up buying a tomato cage and cutting a rod off it and using that to flip the manual switch, while using a thick piece of loose mulch to hold the door frame open.
    These were apparently a hot target for thieves, so GM redesigned this generation with overboard anti-theft. When you lock it, it disables the electric buttons if the seat weight sensors don't detect anything, and the door and window frames are redesigned to resist slimjims. I tore up the seals and scratched the piss out of the paint inside the door. It was past closing time for locksmiths around and we couldn't afford them anyway. Store mechanics tried to help break into it until their shifts ended.
    The fact that you got into it so quickly is impressive.

      it is ok to buy something with a loan. But you also need to be smart.
      1) Dont buy something unless if you lose your job or have other financial problems, you can pay your bills for up to 3 months in advance. That way you have time to at least get some finances together to keep things going.
      For me, I got a cheap vehicle first, then a year later I had to buy a new vehicle for my new place of living/job, so I bought a nicer but still low cost vehicle and I worked overtime so that I was able to pay off a quarter of the vehicle with the sale of the old one, and pay off the rest in only 5 months. Now I have reduced my work hours from 70 to 50 (so I can save money and still have a decent life.
      But I am changing to a position that pays 20% more than now. A nice jump. My credit card will be completely clean next month with a 6500 credit limit across 2 cards. Meaning I could survive for at least 6 months if needed for rent and bills alone.
      I will keep saving money and next year I plan to buy an even nicer vehicle. Selling my current one will allow me to pay around 25% of the new vehicle again. And with my higher pay I will again work hard to keep ahead of the game so I can pay it off in less than a year. (Not working 70 hours anymore lol just 50 hours will do well for the bills)
      By the way, if you stay ahead of payments by a few months, then if you have a good bank, especially a credit union, they will let you defer payments without penalty for at least 1-3 months depending on various factors. So it is great to do that, at the very least early on in case something happens later.
      Also, if it is a big loan that you think you might take more than 9 months to pay off, dont be afraid to ask to refinance it once you have paid off half. Again, a good bank/credit union will work with you to lower payments, and you still keep a high pay back monthly, but this will help you in case you have problems later. You may want to work really hard for 3 months, pay a ton down on it, refinance, and then relax, working less from then on knowing you are financially secure by keeping your debt payments low.
      So to recap
      1) Find a credit union, or if necessary, bank that will give you a high credit limit, and work on your credit score per their guidance to keep increasing that. Good for emergency, and cash advances are still lower interest than from any other lending agency, and normal credit charge interest is even far lower. Usually under 15% if you have decent credit. This will help keep you above water in emergencies.
      2) Keep cash on hand however you can, enough for 1 months rent on top of your current month, so you have time to breath before even backing up to the card. Learn to sacrifice when you can and dont think bad luck will never happen to you.
      3) Refinance when possible and keep debt low, and keep ahead of the payments however you can, even if that means an intense month or more of work, so that you have even more breathing room when needed
      It is nice to only buy things with cash, but not everybody is that lucky and waiting many years isnt practical and buying a clunker in the mean time can mess with your sanity. I know that I felt so much better when I was able to get the vehicle that allowed me to handle the higher speeds and hills on top of that, with more confidence and safety and just made riding a joy which helped relieve stress of work. Now I have that joy but less work and it will pay off in the future when I want the next better vehicle.

      Have you tried? Calling BS usually involves knowledge of it. Also possible you don't have the strength required. Ever try towing a car on its front wheels with the steering only locked by the internal mechanism? There's a reason why we immobilize the steering wheel and leave the column unlocked while towing. They break too easy (especially GM). But in a pinch when doing repo I'd intentionally break it if I had to be able to steer it. Hell I've seen people do it accidentally just by using the locked wheel as a handle while trying to shift into a comfortable position in the seat. They aren't terribly robust mechanisms...but maybe I misspoke, if we're going to details...the mechanism will break, and wheel will be free. As to which part actually decides to break probably depends on a lot of things.
