SUNGAI PETANI: A repossession agent was arrested after allegedly trespassing into a home in Aman Jaya to seize a vehicle.

Kuala Muda police chief Assistant Commissioner Hanyan Ramlan said the 24-year-old suspect was detained by the roadside in Jalan Jati at 10.30pm on Friday.

Police said the man was arrested to assist investigations for house trespass.

"Investigations revealed that the complainant, a 38-year-old man, found the padlock on his front gate had been opened when he returned home at 7pm on Saturday," Hanyan said in a statement.


The complainant later discovered that his Perodua Alza had been repossessed by the bank and suspected that the agent had entered his property without permission.


"Unhappy that his locked gate had been opened without his knowledge, he lodged a police report," he said.

Hanyan said the suspect admitted to entering the complainant's house and towing the car on May 29.

However, the complainant only realised his car was missing on June 14, roughly two weeks later, when he returned home.

"The suspect claimed the repossession was due to eight months of missed installments by the vehicle owner," Hanyan said.


Life hack, as long as park car inside home with gates locked, no one can enter to repo car.

the owner wasnt at home la

so if the owner at home..even if he locked the gate..they can still repossess the car.

edit: guess i wrong about that..my mistake..

what a waste of police resources and time.

How the repo men will determine the owner is at home or not?

Some car owner might be hiding inside the house, see outside via CCTV etc and not answering phone calls.

Not really, if the vehicle is inside private property and padlock gate, it's illegal and can be deemed as trespassing

Nice loophole here, many people will use this instead…

Another loophole, if u don't want to pay tnb and the meter is inside your landed house with a gate, den just padlock it, tnb can't cut it off, they are only allowed in if the gate doesn't have padlock

If u live in a condo, even it's padlock and meter is within arm reach, den dey still can cut though 😁

To have access into a house perimeter, they need court order and only court bailiff can cut the padlock

Nope

They cannot repossess a car that were inside a private premise

no they can't
doesn't matter owner at home or not, as long as the car is inside private property, they can't enter no matter what
they had to wait until the car comes out to repossess

some of those indian repo man thought they very hero can enter people's private property or shop...until owner stand firm to report police
if the car is inside a workshop also they can't simply go in and repossess

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PERMIT HOLDER ON REPOSSESSION

Permit holders issued with a repossession order by owner should only gain entry into premises with the knowledge and consent of the occupant. Trespassing into private property is not allowed without a court order obtained by the owner.

No they can’t. At best tunggu luar.

Dun act pandai if dunno the law. Baru kena judgement by court lagi pandai..

Nope, by law if the vehicle in the private property, it cannot be reposseses.

U can try. How many days u wan vacation in lokap?

So if defaulter drove the car into dusun durian how?
Kekwa

kirija repo pon susah maa sikarang..

ive once kena kacau by repo guy on da road
he said he kenot enter my condo

as long as it is private property = cannot

your own kebun, workshop, shopping mall, hotel parking..all cannot

It falls under grey area, if the dusun is accessible, meaning the dusun is part of access to another dusun aka sort of public road on a private property, then technically can win in court by d possession team, but if its an enclosed area, with gate n fences surrounding d area, then it's trespassing

name a good use of them?
diverting traffic?
