Repossession involves lawfully reclaiming collateral when a borrower defaults on a secured loan or lease, while recovery focuses on collecting the debt and related costs.
Our team explains each step, from initial notices to potential court actions, so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
Repossession is the legal process of taking back property that secures a loan after default, while recovery means pursuing payment of the debt and fees through negotiations or court action.
Key elements include proper notices, lawful possession, and orderly disposition of collateral, followed by the collection of proceeds and any remaining balance with attention to timelines and rights.
