Consumer & Competition: Hire Purchase & Equipment Lease - FAQ
Can protected goods be repossessed if they are located in a public space?
- It depends. While a vehicle parked on a street is open to being repossessed the law is less clear when it comes to areas that are both public and private such as a privately owned car park that is open for public use.
- Your goods are protected by the fact that a warrant will be required before they can be legally seized.
