Yes. Florida Statute § 319.27 states that repossession agents cannot “breach the peace” during a repossession, meaning no force or threats can be used. Additionally, repossession cannot occur if the debtor is present unless authorized by the court or if the debtor consents to the repossession.

13. How long does it take to repossess a vehicle?
The timeframe for repossession depends on the vehicle’s location and availability. Typically, repossessions are completed within 24 to 48 hours from the time we receive the order, but if a vehicle is hidden or on restricted property, it may take longer.

14. What happens if the vehicle is on a property with restricted access or behind a locked gate?
If access to the vehicle is restricted, Enforcer Tow works directly with property management to ensure access is granted, either by unlocking gates or coordinating with the community’s management team. If the vehicle cannot be accessed, additional legal action may be required.

15. What happens if a repossession is contested by the vehicle owner?
If the repossession is contested, Enforcer Tow ensures all legal procedures are followed. Florida law mandates that repossession must be done in a manner that respects the rights of the debtor.
