More details to this question:
A man came to my home at 6:30 am today. I asked him to stop immediately and repeatedly. He told me that he was taking it no matter what. I asked that he let me pull out my contract for the payday loan before he took it, as I thought there was an error. He refused. I asked him to call the police, but he refused. I was standing between the tow truck and my car talking to him. He marched to the door, got it, and proceeded to drag my car with me between the vehicle, also being dragged.

The answer is yes, your request not to take car is of no consequence. However, they cant breach the peace and YOU should have called the police who would have made him leave. As to your being dragged, you may have several types of claims if there are witnesses other than you and the driver.
