repossessors

They reclaim collateral

Repossessors are people or companies that take back property when the owner fails to make required payments.

The term most commonly applies to those who reclaim vehicles, though repossessors also recover furniture, electronics, and other financed goods.

The work often involves tracking down assets and removing them, sometimes under tense circumstances.

The repossessors showed up at 3 a.m. to take the car.
