How to use "Repossess" in context?
When someone owes money to a creditor and doesn't have the means to pay back that debt, that person can be repossessed. This happens when a creditor takes possession of the property of the debtor- usually the debtor's home- to try to collect on the debt.
Repossession is a last resort for creditors, and it's typically used when other methods of collection, like lawsuits, haven't been successful. When it happens, the creditor usually gives the debtor a few months to come up with a plan to pay back the debt- or else the creditor will take possession of the debtor's property.
