Louisiana Bayou country can pose a challenge for a repo company. Places in this state are not easy to navigate. Many give up here if the jobs aren’t easy; we don’t.

What Nationwide Recovers in Louisiana
Passenger vehicles and light trucks. We can get sedans, coupes, SUVs, and pickups. This is what we excel at.
Commercial and fleet vehicles. Box trucks, service vans, and vehicles that disappeared. Louisiana’s I-10 and I-20 corridors are hotbeds for commercial traffic.
Oil field equipment. Louisiana’s tied to the energy industry. When oil prices crash, repos spike. Service, specialized machinery, anything tied to drilling and production. We recover it from job sites, storage yards, or wherever it’s been abandoned.
Marine assets. Fishing boats, Pleasure boats, and Shrimp boats out of Terrebonne. Jet skis, pontoon boats, and offshore vessels. We track marinas, boat launches, and private docks.
Agricultural in the North. Tractors, combines, harvesters. It’s a different world from Bayou Country; we handle both.
RVs and campers. We can recover all recreational vehicles.
Medical and dental machines. Specialized recovery requires different tactics.
Private party situations. Did you loan a car to someone? We can help. Private party is our specialty.

Unique Repossession Laws
State office: Louisiana Motor Vehicle Division. P.O. Box 64886, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70896
What makes Louisiana different:
Louisiana doesn’t allow standard self-help repossession like other states. The debtor must sign a voluntary surrender. And release the document before we can take possession. This makes recovery more complicated than neighboring states.
Parish recording: Liens get recorded on a parish basis. Chattel mortgages must be recorded with the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. And with the Clerk of Court in the parish where the debtor lives.
No redemption after sale: Once the collateral is sold, the debtor cannot redeem it.
Deficiency limitations:
Deficiency judgments aren’t permitted. Unless the asset was seized through court proceedings under a chattel mortgage foreclosure. Confession of judgment notes are invalid in Louisiana.
Title transfer requirements:
Title must be in lienholder’s name (from any state). Plus a notarized Bill of Sale showing amount, buyer’s name, and sale date. Also requires a notarized affidavit of repossession. And a completed, notarized Bill of Sale.
Plates: Remain with the vehicle after recovery.
