New repo device to stall cars of late payers

  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, May 06 - 2008 at 10:07

Some loan companies and car sellers in Dubai will be installing electronic repossession devices in automobiles that kick in if a buyer misses a payment, reported Industry Week. The device flashes colored warning lights as payment day approaches. The light turns yellow when a payment is due, and if a timely payment is not made, the device starts beeping for a day, after which the car will not start. When a payment is made, the driver is given a code to type into the stalling device, and the car can be driven again.
