Unlawful Car Repossession in North Carolina – and How to Fight Back

Date: 09/26/2024

Time: 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Description: Many North Carolina residents purchase their automobiles from businesses referred to as “Buy Here, Pay Here” car dealerships. These businesses are notorious for a repossession scam in which they illicitly repossess vehicles a few months after the sale, even when the purchaser is making payments in accordance with the sale agreement. This scam has two premises: the BHPH business model is based on collecting the downpayment on the same car multiple times; the BHPH business depends on North Carolinians not having access to legal assistance. This CLE will explore the ways in which attorneys can use the law to protect North Carolinians from repossession exploitation.
