Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Massachusetts
Financed vehicle impounded
Can constables legally impound a car that the bank holds title for? I was given no paper stating a court judgement was issued nor that anything personal property could be taken.I was handed a copy of a supposedly small claims paper but no where did it say default. These ppl arrived at 5am and towed car away.

Re: Financed vehicle impounded
It depends on the specific facts surrounding the impound. Generally speaking, in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 223, Section 44a, a creditor can seize the motor vehicle of a judgment debtor as long as the person owing ( and any person whose interest is affected) the money is afforded notice and an opportunity to be heard before seizure
