I thought someone might find our experience helpful. We have been waiting sometime for both of our cars to be picked up. Discharged in August and we called the banks in September and asked them to come get them. The repo man finally showed up yesterday with all the paperwork.
We have had extremely heavy snow and ice for about a week and we had pulled into a back part of our land the cars that would not be able to move during the winter. The car that went back to the bank was one of them (balled tires I was not about to replace).
We were about to have family over for the first time since long before Christmas as no one was able to get to our house when we saw the repo man pull up. We went outside to meet him and his tow truck (which had no markings on it). We explained that we had family that would be arriving in about 10 minutes and we did not want to share this experience. The repo man was very nice and agreed to tell our family that the car was just purchased by him and was not running.
He set about digging out the car from the snow and helped us move the other cars. Even had to tow our daughters car for us so the battery could be jumped. I guess it died from the cold.
I just wanted to share that he was very nice to us, we were nice to him and it was all just business. Not a bad experience at all. He did offer that the reason he had not come sooner to get the car was that he was so busy with repo's he could not keep up. He said the banks were selling cars for fractions of the loans now and just taking the loss on each vehicle to get rid of it from their inventory.

They are just doing their jobs, and don't need any extra greef. If you treat them right, they will treat you right!
