Welcome to another episode of "Drive To Success: Mastering Auto Finance" with your host, John Lewis. In this essential episode for auto finance professionals, we dive deep into the challenging world of state-by-state repossession laws and the complex compliance maze they create for lenders operating across multiple states.

Whether you're a seasoned auto finance veteran or new to the industry, this episode provides the insights you need to navigate the regulatory complexities that can make or break your collections strategy.

Key highlights from this episode:

• Self-help repossession laws vary drastically—some states empower lenders, others restrict them.
• The elusive “breach of peace” standard is interpreted differently across jurisdictions, leaving repo agents exposed.
• Notice and sale requirements add layers of compliance—language, timing, and even the borrower's military status can impact your procedure.
• When borrowers cross state lines, things get murky fast. Which laws apply: origination, residence, or location of the vehicle?
• Technology is part of the solution, but not a silver bullet. Legal strategy, compliance systems, and trained staff are essential.

The cost of getting it wrong is steep—lost deficiency rights, lawsuits, and reputational damage. Multi-state operations require more than a one-size-fits-all playbook.
