Car repossession/ bank advice needed

[crashdown]

Agree. He actually helped me out on car-deal gone wrong with Gateway CU in Aurora. If not him maybe some other tv news "investigative" reporter.

Just a thought; maybe the universe wants to keep you in Alaska? Just a thought. All of the sudden I am hungry for salmon.

I never had any plans to leave, this place is great. If I ever do leave, it will be a short trip somewhere like Hawaii, not to Colorado to deal with Bellco.

I've never heard anything bad about Bellco before and this thread is making me nervous.

You can't sue the repo company- they will be operating under a hold harmless agreement with the bank. Especially since they walked away when you presented your case. What wrong did they do? Nothing.

Update.
Filed formal complaint with DORA.
Filed formal complaint the CO Attorney General.
Did my best to talk to Tom Martino after receiving an e-mail and VM that they wanted me on the live show, but busy signal every time I called.

Everything seems like it's gonna be pointless, but on a good note, I have 24 hours of light to stay awake all night staring at my car in the driveway making sure it doesn't get towed.

Based on pure definition of terms, this is not a repossession as the bank does not hold title.
It does however fit the definition of identity theft as the bank has used personal information to create a debt unauthorized by me.
It benefits the bank greatly to classify this as a repossession as to make it a civil matter, and not a criminal.

take a picture of your title and lien release and put it on the window of your truck when it's parked, along with a note that if you have an order to tow from Bellco, it's an illegal order and you will be seeking damages if they tow it?

May not stop them, but could make them second guess before they do...

Still keep after Martino

must be Denver stuff... never heard Martino nor Bellco before (I think I heard the name Martino, but never Bellco before this thread)

I must be missing out on something- like invalid repos on my vehicles...

After looking at your age I take it you must not have children. Just wait, they like to use mom and dads address so the repo guys come and park in front of your driveway looking for something that is not there. This does not end well for them as old guys like me open the door and they start spewing about a vehicle. Knowing who it might be I ask them if it belongs to XXXXXX. they say it does and to give it up now. The last one I told that XXXXX was my step son and has not lived here in 10 years. I also explain they might want to look up because it is past my bedtime and the wife in the window is cranky and wants to shoot someone that has disturbed her sleep. Been almost a year since the last one but this game has been going on for over 15 years with some of them.

Bellco is a Colorado based credit union. I thought it was all over Colorado, but they are only in the metro area. I was always under the impression that it was difficult to get an account with Bellco, but apparently they've really lowered their standards.

...whatever the proper terminology for a group of kids (e.g. a murder of crows, an aneurysm of children or something)...

I think the proper term is an "annoyance of children".
