An estimated 1.9 million cars were repossessed in 2009. The vast
majority of these were "self-help" repossessions done under state
laws that allow automobile dealers and lenders to take cars without
court action or the involvement of law enforcement. Many of these
cars were vital to the economic success of the families from whom
they were taken. Perhaps not surprisingly, dozens of consumers,
repossession agents and bystanders have been killed, injured or
traumatized. Recent years have also seen rapid increases in the use
of new technologies as part of repossessions, such as license plate
scanners and electronic repossession devices. These new technologies
raise issues such as privacy and safety concerns.
This webinar will examine the dangers of self-help repossession, and
engage consumer advocates, privacy advocates and industry insiders in
a discussion of the problems and potential solutions.
Speakers include:
Leah Plunkett, The National Consumer Law Center Inc.
Jay Stanley, Director of Public Education for the ACLU's Technology
and Liberty Program
Joseph S. Taylor, Vice President of Recovery Industry Services Company
John W. Van Alst, The National Consumer Law Center Inc.
