As of July 1, 2013, it is officially a crime (third degree felony) for an unlicensed person to pick up a voluntary repossession in the state of Florida (Florida Statute 493.6120). The upshot of this is that it is illegal for an auction or transporter or any other entity to pick up a vehicle from a consumer…by law, has to be done by a state-licensed repossessor.
