Vehicle Repossession Without a Court Order

A financing or lending company took, or threatened to take, a mortgaged motorcycle or vehicle by force, tow, or intimidation without the borrower's consent and without a court order. Philippine law has no self-help repossession: recovery of the collateral is by voluntary surrender or a court replevin action (Rules of Court, Rule 60); forcible seizure can be grave coercion (Revised Penal Code Art. 286). SEC-registered financiers are also bound by RA 11765 and SEC rules.
