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.

https://www.ahpcm.com.my/ethics-eng.html#:~...%20their%20work.

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?

So it is allowed if owner gets a court order.

yes

those who says "loophole" never heard about court order

Still consider house breaking unless you have court order. If no lock then trespassing already.

Minta lui kopi.

not really. if no permission, cannot enter private property.

even with court order also need to have polisman to open the locked gate for you

its house breaking with or without lock?

now gated and guarded housing estate each house don't have gate one wor. then how?

sue the tow company to pay for the car

genius

civil suit cost money. if got money to hire lawyer to initiate lawsuit (minimum 10K), why don't have money to pay for car? in this case an Alza.

now the best loophole is to only drive the car from point A to point B. make sure not to park the car in public car park.

Only park in own house with gate locked. Or park in multistory carpark which tow trucks hard to enter.

Lucky this in msia..in murica u trespass they will meet u with shotgun 🤣

Then TNB loss a lot of money..

I think they have a lot of lawyer to go court one

now many meters change to smart meter liao. Can control remotely.

even meter reading all already send wirelessly to the servers.

after so many years and grown adult d, we could say that some people just dont pay back your money
we all have that kind of friend / relative / family / koliq who dont care to pay back but spend like water.

Key points about repossession on private property:

No entry without consent or court order:
Lenders cannot enter your private property to repossess a vehicle without your explicit written consent or a court order.

Private property definition:
This includes your home, garage, yard, or any other area considered part of your private property.

Street parking is different:
If the car is parked on a public street, it can be repossessed without your consent.

it's not about gate or not
the problem is ..is it private property

if the car is sent to workshop or service center...no gate as well but repo man cannot enter because it's private property

as long as the car owner isn't stupid enough to double triple park somewhere or park at public parking, the car technically saying cannot be legally repo

without lock also can house break. see you go in do what first.

If you go in just see see for fun then come out then trespass.

If go in without breaking lock to check people's privacy can house break already.

So can tnb remote cut off the electricity supply?

that is not very nice

my guess is able to cut remotely, if using smart meter

Lubang lubang

You got dusun durian but cannot pay car installment? 😵‍💫

Anyway, private property is private property. Entering it without permission is trespassing. As shown in the case and court judgement, the law respect private properties. As the english saying goes...'A man's home is his castle.'

Edit: my mistake... the case is still under police investigation. Hope the police would charge the offender in court.

LoL. Kete murah pun tak boleh bayar.

Says who?

You work for AG ke hanat?

Show which section and clause of HPA and law which is applicable.

Else , dah Tua Bodø scammer

This law important why? Because politicians all live in landed.

if got court order still can enter house.

and there is provisions in law which allows polis to enter without a court order. Drugs act, dangerous weapons act, MACC act, etc.

maybe is forgot to pay leh. give people chance la

This trespassing law is important to everyone. Your house is your sanctuary. Nobody can disturb you and enter your property without your permission. Even police must have search warrant from a judge before entering your house.

It is time people knows their rights and must have this trespassing law strictly enforce by the police.

Only then when similar acts of transgressions like quarrels btw neighbors and neighbor throw stones and breaking windows or ah long splashing red paint on your house walls, you report to police and the police must take action to charge and prosecute the culprit (on your behalf).

If police fails to investigate and identify the culprits, it is failure of the police force. Then you should complain to your elected MP.

so true.

even if tenant don't pay rent, owner still cannot enter own property without tenant's permission.
