Reclaiming Your Property
Florida permits self-help repossessions of business and commercial property, but only up to a certain point. There can be no “breach of the peace.”
If a self-help repossession is unsuccessful, then a knowledgeable and focused attorney is needed to file an action for replevin. In order to replevy property under Florida Statute 78, the seller/creditor must demonstrate that it has retained title to the commercial truck, business equipment or other property. This right is most often reserved in a “lease to own” agreement or “rent to own” contract that has been executed by the purchaser/debtor.
In a typical replevin action, the Court will enter an Order to Show Cause which requires the debtor to demonstrate why the claimed business property should not be taken from the defendant and delivered to the plaintiff. If the defendant cannot demonstrate good grounds, such as timely payments, then a Writ of Replevin will be issued directing the Sheriff to retake the property.

Joel and his team recovered a substantial settlement on our behalf and did so in a highly professional manner. Most collections efforts are a total waste of time and amount to un-strategic letters and phone calls. On the contrary, Joel takes a very strategic approach, pulling the right levers to drive results.–Peter Perri
