Why are your business hours listed as Monday through Friday from 9:00 – 5:00, but I can only make an appointment from 10:00 – 4:00?
We start and stop our appointment times an hour before to ensure we have enough time in the day to handle all our paperwork. We understand that this can be a huge inconvenience to people, but it is necessary for us.
Why didn’t you notify me before you picked up my car or knock on my door at the time of repossession?
Please understand that collateral recovery can be very dangerous to the Recovery Agent performing the repossession. All our Agents are trained to avoid any type of contact while performing their duties to ensure their safety.
Why can’t I take the property out of the car myself?
While that would save us a lot of time and money, unfortunately it is not possible. Aside from the liability of allowing people on our lot, we are required by the state to make an inventory of the belongings and store them for 30 days.
How did you open my car without a key?
As a state licensed Recovery Agency, we use lock out tools that allow us to gain access to your vehicle.
How do you dispose of important documents such as birth certificates and social security cards?
As part of our inventory process, we put all documents that contain Non-Public Information (NPI) in a separate blue bag with the rest of your inventoried property. If the property is not redeemed after the 45 days, we use a third-party shredding company to come and destroy all the NPI property on site.
I have aftermarket products such as wheels on my vehicle, can I retrieve them?
If your aftermarket product is attached to the vehicle, it stays on the vehicle. 123 Recovery USA will not inventory anything that is permanently attached to the vehicle.

All personal property is stored in a secure area that is always locked and monitored with security cameras. Only management has access to the property room.
