Personal Property Foreclosures/Replevins Attorneys

Recovering Unpaid Commercial Debt Through Personal Property Foreclosures/Replevins

The personal property foreclosure attorneys at Stokes Carmichael & Ernst LLP represent the interests of banks, lenders and other financial institutions in consumer and commercial property foreclosure proceedings. While most commercial foreclosure law firms focus on seeking real estate foreclosures, we will also pursue personal property foreclosures as a means to recover the money owed to you.

Skilled Attorneys Representing Financial Institutions in Replevin Proceedings

Personal property foreclosure, legally termed a “replevin proceeding,” is a creative tool to use when you need to recover on a debt that is not real property related. The types of personal property you can seize range from cars, tractors, trucks, furniture, store merchandise and much more.

To pursue replevin in Georgia, however, you must ensure that you follow the very specific rules relating to commercial foreclosures. For example:

• You must first serve the debtor with a replevin summons.
• You must give the debtor a certain time period to respond and then attend a hearing to determine if you can legally seize the property.

In some cases where the debtor does not respond to your replevin summons, you can seek to obtain a Writ of Possession from the court. This writ would allow you to enlist the services of the local Marshal to go in and seize the named property on your behalf.

It is important that you follow all notice and time period requirements in a commercial foreclosure/personal property proceeding. Any misstep can lead to your inability to obtain a deficiency judgment against the debtor. Our skilled commercial collections lawyers are here to help ensure this misstep does not happen.
