Can a repossession agent take items belonging to a flatmate of the person in debt (in New Zealand law)?


In other words, could they, by mistake, take something from the house that doesn`t belong to the debtor? And how can you prove that it doesn`t belong to them (but instead to you, the innocent party)?
Best Answer:
if they did, it would be theft - unintentional or not. i think through they must be able to identify the goods they are taking as belonging to the debtor. it is a very worthy idea to keep all your receipts for personal purchases!!~!
They can pilfer it by mistake, but they must return it if you have proof you own it.
