Legal Framework Governing MFI Repossession in Nairobi

Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd. offers a comprehensive and structured approach to MFI repossession in Nairobi. Our process begins with a thorough review of the loan documentation provided by the MFI, including the loan agreement, security documents (e.g., chattel mortgages, charges), and evidence of default. We verify the borrower's current location and the status of the collateral through discreet inquiries and our proprietary skip tracing capabilities. Our team is adept at navigating the urban and peri-urban environments of Nairobi to locate the assets efficiently.

Once the asset is located, we adhere to a strict protocol that respects legal requirements. This includes serving appropriate legal notices as stipulated by the relevant Acts, such as the Hire Purchase Act or the Land Registration Act. Our field agents are trained in lawful entry and asset recovery, ensuring that no damage is caused to the property and that the process is conducted with professionalism and minimal disruption. We manage the secure movement and storage of repossessed movable assets. For immovable properties, we work closely with legal counsel to facilitate the repossession process, which may involve obtaining court orders where necessary. Our focus is on a swift, compliant, and documented repossession to minimize legal risks for the MFI.
