(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2022)
Sec. 25. Recovery ticket.
(a) A licensed repossession agency must purchase a recovery ticket from the Commission for each repossessed vehicle or collateral. The recovery ticket must show all of the following information:
(1) The date and time of the repossession.
(2) The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the
make, the model, and the year of the vehicle or collateral repossessed.
(3) The agency name, the financial institution, and
the recovery permit number.
(4) The name and officer identification number of the
local law enforcement officer notified of the repossession.
(b) The recovery ticket, or copy of the recovery ticket, must be placed with the vehicle or collateral at the time of repossession and must accompany the vehicle or collateral until it has been liquidated or returned to the lien holder or debtor. A copy of the recovery ticket must be kept for the agency's permanent file for a period of 2 years following the date of repossession. A copy of the recovery ticket must be returned to the legal owner or financial institution within 72 hours following the date of repossession.
(c) A fee for the recovery ticket must be collected by the Commission at the time of purchase. The cost for each recovery ticket is $10 and is nonrefundable. Recovery tickets must only be sold in lots of 50 and 100. Only an Illinois licensed repossession agency may purchase recovery tickets.
If a repossession agency's license is revoked by the Commission, then the repossession agency must return any and all unused recovery tickets to the Commission immediately upon license revocation. No refund from the Commission shall be issued for the return of unused recovery tickets.
(d) Any agency or employee found to be in possession of a repossessed vehicle without having a valid recovery ticket is in violation of this Act and therefore jeopardizing the license of the employee or the agency that he or she is repossessing for.
