So, as a PPSA lienholder, you may wonder if you outrank a repairer’s lien. And generally, the answer is no. A valid repairer’s lien under the RSLA usually outranks PPSA liens. Lenders typically need to negotiate, post security, or bring a section 24 application to reduce payout and achieve the release of the vehicle. And at Precision Paralegal Services, we developed a fast strategy. We negotiate, post that security, and launch the section 24 application to minimize payout and release the collateral.
