Anyone been in the repo/debt collecting biz? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

RealMedia · 05-03-2009, 06:54 PM

Im currently under contract doing financial repossession of cars and equipment. Just wondering if any of you guys have done this type of thing before.

Ill keep posting pics of new cars I get

Range Rover 3.6 Turbo Diesel Sport HSE
£70,000 UK. This bitch even has a fridge :P

No but it sure looks good

bb_wolfe · 05-03-2009, 11:00 PM

I wrote a collection agency management system long ago, so I understand the biz. I will tell you that guys who are writing turnkey automation sites for debt collectors are making a fucking killing right now.

Picking up cars in the middle of the night from people who haven't made their payments? Sounds like a fun job! How often are you confronted by somebody when you're repoing the car?

My buddy has a repo company and they picked up a Lambo. My brother goes a few nights a week with him and I hear some crazy shit from him. Police have warned them before to be careful because if they knock on the wrong door, there's a chance they'll be chased by someone with a machete.

Supposedly they arent allowed to carry weapons either... but rules are made to be broken.

A friend of mine had his head blown off doing repo work. Don't take it lightly.

CorrectAD · 05-04-2009, 02:21 AM

wrote a repo automation software back in 03....

ahh, if I only knew then what I know now.

People can't always pay for their bills, but they always got money for ammo.

I had a repo man at my door one night about 8 years ago. Banging on the door yelling about where the hell my car was so he could take it. wtf? a) Oh sure let me just go get that for you, would you like some coffee while you wait? b) get the fuck off my porch, you fucking piece of shit low life, scum. We have a gun.

How do you think the scenario went?

EDit: To clarify I owned my car this was not a bank repo. This was people that had hired a repo guy because they thought I should have paid them more for the repair job we had done on our car a few months before. How do we live in a country where something like that is ok?

Totally Illegal - you should've sued.

I located and picked up a Dodge Viper the cops couldn't find.... fun days indeed.

No way I would ever do repo work.
