reposession

[ilovetwins]

Hello, I am living in Arizona. I sold a guy a motorcycle back in May 2008, He has been late on all payments and is currently not paying at all. He is 4 months behind on payments and keeps coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why he cant pay but always promises a check to me soon (which never happens). Anyhow we have a contract written out as well as a pay schedule for when payments are due and i was wondering since he isn't showing any attempt to make payments if i could have a reposession company repo the bike for me. I really want to take this joker to court but I am deploying soon so right now i cant and im scared that when i get back from my deployment i wont be able to find him..... any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can reposses the bike. Be mindful that a repo company is going to charge you.

a few more questions

Also just wondering do I need to give a notice of intent to reposess in the state of AZ, i know in some states you do.

I know that if I do that the guy will then hide the motorcycle and if that happens could he go to jail?

Please cite the Arizona law that allows the OP to repossess the bike.

Notice of default before repossession and notification before disposition but not notice of intent to repossess.
