Yes, if the original terms of agreement were not followed, a
creditor could file a suit, win, receive a judgment and enforce the
judgment in the form of wage garnishment. Even if the debt is "old"
the SOL would more than likely not apply in this instance. Whenever
a payment or in some states even an agreeement or inquiry is made
on an account, the SOL restarts.

making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning
the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.

Can your truck be repossessed if you are using it for income?
Yes, your truck can be repossessed even if you are using it to
earn an income, however, you can tell your creditor that you
are earning money with your truck, and that if the creditor does
not repossess the truck you will use that income to make payments
on your loan. Of course, if you are not making payments, and
spending all of your income on other things, then the creditor has
no motive to let you keep the truck.

Asked in Debt Collection, Income Garnishment, Social Security
Can VA disability and federal medical disability payments be taken by a creditor?
All Social Security (SS, SSI, SSD) VA and the most other
disability benefits are exempt from attachment by creditors. It is
very important that such benefits be held in a bank account
separately and no deposits of any other funds be placed in said
account. If the person has reason to believe that a creditor may
attempt to garnish the exempted funds they should let the bank and
the creditor know that they are exempt under federal and state
laws. Some creditors will garnish exempted property either in error
or in attempt to coerce the debtor into making a payment agreement
or settlement. It would be advisable to consult an attorney if it
is believed there is a possibility of garnishment action. Most
attorney's offer free or minimal fee consultations, or you might
wish to contact your state bar association's legal aid
organization.
Asked in Debt Collection, Liens, House of Anubis
Can a creditor take away your house?
Answer
I seriously doubt if any one creditor can take your house
especially if it's not paid off and you are still making payments
on it. What a creditor can do though is force you into declaring
Bankrupcy and at that point depending on how much money is owed on
your home either the house would be sold and the money distrubuted
amoungst your creditors or the bank where you got your mortage
would re-sell the house.

Asked in Debt and Bankruptcy
What does becoming bankrupt prevent you from doing?
Declaring bankruptcy prevents you from using credit cards,
obtaining credit over $500 without contacting the creditor, and
making payments directly to your creditor. Declaring bankruptcy is
a very serious matter and is one you shouldn't choose to do without
a lot of consultation on your financial providers part.
Asked in Bankruptcy Law
Do you still owe the lender if the court rejected your reaffirmation agreement?
Yes. The reaffirmation agreement allows you to continue to make
payments on a secured loan and retain the secured property. The
rejection of the agreement simply means the creditor can apply for
relief from stay and repossess or foreclose on the property. If you
have been making post-filing payments, the creditor may not bother
and, in some states, under state law cannot proceed against the
property.

Asked in Auto Loans and Financing, Repossession, Co-signing
If you have been making payments on a car and you are the primary owner can the co-signer take your car and garnish your wages for the remaining balance?
A co-signer is only obligated if you default on your payment(s).
I can't think of why or how one could repossess the car otherwise.
If however, you default, the co-signer will be obligated to the
original creditor. Then the con-signer can sue you for the amount
that is owed on the vehicle or the vehicle if they are willing to
keep up the payments. They have to follow due process, which means
filing a suit, serving summons, the hearing, getting a judgment,
acting on the judgment and so on, and so on.
