A: If you were served a writ of Replevin for your vehicle and the recovery company breached the peace, you have grounds to defend your case. The breach of peace during repossession is a significant issue, as it violates your rights. You should document any evidence of this breach, such as witness statements or video recordings.

It's concerning that you haven't received any answers for seven weeks. You should reach out to the court handling your case to inquire about the status and ensure your due process rights are being respected. Additionally, consider filing a complaint against the recovery company for their unlawful actions.

Seeking legal advice might help you navigate this situation effectively. An attorney can assist you in filing the necessary motions and representing your interests in court. This will ensure that your case is heard and that any violations of your rights are addressed.
