Question:

How do we repo an excavator from a guy that owes us money?

Ok so I work for a construction company some guy didn't pay us for a job now we want to go repo an excavator how do we do it legally I don't want people saying try to work it out we asked for the money we went to court he won't pay up so how do we repo it thanks.

Answer:

There are several options. One of the simplest ways is to send a notification saying that they must return the money or property with the explicit or implied threat of legal action. If a business doesn't pay its debts then you can also file legal action against them to declare them insolvent. Usually these options will get a quick response from the client. Alternatively repossession depends on the terms and conditions of the contract.
If you have the judgment, and he won't pay, appeal to the court to enforce the judgment. You can suggest the asset seizure but the Judge might go another way.
You show up on the job site one day with a flatbed and tell the general contractor that you're repossessing the excavator. I've seen it done.
