Q: Are repo drivers allowed to be confrontational?
I was at a gas pump and a repo truck rolls up and both guys get out prior I hop in my car trying to leave at this point one of them is trying to block me from leaving and the other one opens the drivers door and is pushing his arm in my neck attempting to get keys out of the ignition I was able to get away but the one that was pushing his arm in my neck said he was dragged and said he was going to press charges and he took my phone out of my hand and said I have your phone mf just looking for advice
A: No, repo men are not allowed to cause a public disturbance and/or assault you. You may want to consider pressing charges against the men individually and pursuing an action against the repo company and/or your creditor.

A: It is most definitely in your best interest to reach out to a lawyer sooner rather than later, as there appears to be a level of liability that can be established against the repo company, ESPECIALLY since this was at a gas pump and assuming that the lawyer can get surveillance footage ASAP.
