If you know where someone is hiding their car from repo is there a way to let the creditor or the police know where it is?

The Wording of your questions presumes one of two things: either you are familiar with the debtor, or you have seen and perhaps talked with the repo agent who is trying to locate the vehicle.

If you are familiar with the debtor, it is possible you know who the lender is. Contact the lender with as much information as you can. Keep in mind that you will want to keep the location of the vehicle to yourself, and seek a locator's fee. This is a common practice in the industry. Many people short themselves by accepting $50 or less. Keep in mind that the lender is paying up to $1,000.00 for the repossession to be done and that all costs associated with the repossession are translated to the debtor as recovery fees. Personally, I would ask for $500 and let them negotiate me to no less than $300, with half up front.

If you have seen or spoken to the repo agent, let him know that you want a locator's fee, and that you will only negotiate with the lender. He can contact his office who can patch you into the lender or have the lender call you directly. Again, aim high, and let them negotiate you down a bit.

Of course, if you know the vehicle is being hidden, but do not know where it is, there is no point discussing it with anyone.
