Legal Frameworks Governing Vehicle Repossession in Kenya

The practice of vehicle repossession in Kenya is strictly regulated to protect the rights of both creditors and debtors. As a reputable vehicle repossession firm, Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd adheres rigorously to the provisions outlined in the Contract Act, 2012, which governs secured transactions, and the Civil Procedure Rules, which dictate enforcement procedures. Furthermore, the Chattel Transfer Act is critical for conditional sale agreements and hire-purchase agreements. Financial institutions must also comply with guidelines from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) under the Banking Act. Our expertise lies in navigating these complex legal terrains, ensuring that all repossessions are conducted under valid security agreements, with proper notice served where legally required, and without contravening any court orders or judicial pronouncements.
