 repo on one car, title on another

Sandie,

It sounds like both vehicle loans are with the same lender. Is that correct? If so, it is not unusual for credit unions to include clauses in their contracts that allow them to offset your loan with money you have on deposit, or in your case, with the equity in your other vehicle.

We are going to have to suggest you talk with your own attorney to find out if this is what's going on, whether it's legal, and to understand your options for protecting the equity in your paid off vehicle.

A bankruptcy attorney should be able to help you and the first consultation will likely be free.
