Yes they can. Whomever you owe money too, sit down and start writing those letters to one or more companies you owe the money. Explain your circumstances, then send the letter(s) Registered Mail (this means someone at the Company such as the Accountant will have to sign for your letter) and be sure to keep a copy of the letters you write. Make a good effort to pay what you can afford. If you pay $10 - $20 on a credit card debt and have written the company they can't legally do anything about it. You can also have them lower their interest rates! Marcy No they cannot threaten any action whatsoever, as stipulated in the FDCPA. Any collection agency that alludes or actually threatens a consumer/debtor is subject to being fines and other penalties. Such action should be reported to the involved party's to the justice department of the state attorney general office.

Can a repo company put a seize on your license and license plate and threaten to have you charged with a felony if caught driving the car they are trying to repo?

No, that is the job of the company that gave you the loan. The repo company can take your car the second they find it, but the real expense and trouble comes from the loan company you stole from. If you do not release the car you are in possession of stolen goods after a court judgment.

Can a credit card company go after the car of a deceased person to satisfy unsecured debt?

A credit card company can sue someone for defaulting on debt. When they do this, they can be awarded a judgment. If the debtor has assets, such as a car or checking account, then they can be awarded those things. For property, usually the items are auctioned so that the collection agency (credit card company) can get the cash. If the person is deceased, you may be able to transfer ownership of the car before the credit card company tries to take it. Unless you are listed on the debt as a joint account owner, you are not liable for it. the FDCPA spells out your rights in terms of debt collection.
