Lou (Luis M Pizarro) is not the owner of either All Star Recovery or Accezz Adjusters, he is the manager. The company, including the owner, has no other employees with repo licenses besides Lou. The company's repo license has been active since October 2007. The phone number for All Star Recovery comes back as a unlisted landline. Must be a very exclusive repo company to not have a listed phone number, or one not actually doing business.

EGA Recovery has no record with California as a repo company. EGA Productions does exist and is Lou's business.

EGA Productions will show Lou's entertainment experience as an actor and producer in film. The following info on Sonia and Froy is their experience in film. Lyndah and Matt have no past experience listed where the above info is from, Internet Movie Data Base - Operation Repo The Movie 2009. Matt has worked in TV as a Trainer in The Gym on FitTV.

One other point to remember is this show started out in 2006 on Spanish TV with a completely different cast. No Sonia, Froy, Lyndah or Matt. Operación Repo Lou was the executive producer and director, but not a actor in it according to Internet Movie Data Base. Click on their names to see their personal bios. All of them actors with movie credits except one. I ran them for repo licenses and not a one had a license except Lou. What a surprise!

In conclusion, it is obvious that Lou is the only one with a valid repo license of any kind as the manager and only licensed repo person of a nonfunctioning repo company. So Sonia, Froy, Matt and Lyndah cannot without a license be actually doing real repossessions of anything.

What you see on TV is scripted or nonscripted acting by actors, whatever. It is fictional, staged, bogus, and fake.

My favorite part of this thread's starting post (from Sonia through a third party) is the last line, "I personally know you can never make people happy..cause they will always find another excuse to bitch about something else.." Well heck ya we will when y'all constantly lie to us all about the reality and validity of Operation Repo.

Read the California Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau of Security and Investigative Services frequently asked questions and license requirements fact sheet.

Repossession Agency Fact Sheet

There is no mention of a Temporary License or Umbrella License that the whole crew works under because there are no such things as a Temporary License or Umbrella License and it is a total fabrication.

As far as Lou 'Luis M Pizarro' (having his own repo company) he probably did and the following is probably the old record of it with California.

The above info can be found here. This is also the only repo licenses on record for Froy and Sonia Tercero. Search the last name Tercero as repo employees and the ones for Froy and Sonia show above are all that is on record. The "No" after each name means, no actions were taken against them. These Are The Only Licenses They Have Ever Had. The Licenses Were Held About 1 1/2 Years Apart So They Did Not Work Together.

Lou carried his Accezz managers license over to this company and the license is still current.
