Answer

Below is an excellent FAQ page detailing repossession laws. It mentions a repo man does not need a license to operate in Texas, but does in Florida. I imagine California requires licensing as well. The first thing to do if your car is repossessed is call your local police department and ask if your car was repossessed, they will have a listing of what cars were repossessed and if yours is on it, the police department will tell you who repossessed it (the dealer, bank, finance company, or private repossesser) and a phone number for contact.
For example, my car was repossessed this morning, I called the local police, and they confirmed the dealer had taken it. I am only a week and a half behind, but that's all it takes.
