A credit card collector called and said if i didn't pay they would get a judgment and seize my vehicle and impound it until i paid debt in full. Is this possible since i owe this to another lender?
Reply from DebtCollectionAnswers.com: Ron, you need to talk with a consumer law attorney asap. The collector's threats may be illegal. Generally, a debt collection agency trying to collect unsecured debt can't seize property without first getting a judgment against you. Even then, your car may be protected from the judgment creditor.
