Repossession is the legal process of reclaiming property when a borrower defaults. Recovery involves steps to recover value, often through negotiated settlements, enforceable agreements, or sale of collateral in compliance with applicable statutes.
Key elements include contract validity, notice and cure periods, lawful leverage, timelines, and the proper handling of collateral and proceeds.
Below are common terms used in repossession and recovery to help you understand the process.
