If you cannot repay a car title pawn can you be put in jail?

Answer 1

Depends on several things..... such as

1. what state the loan / pawn was taken out in

2. ammount that the debtor is delinquent

3. the company

4. the paperwork and its " clauses " that most dont bother to read just to get a check and haul @$$....

For example Georgia and South Carolina have laws pertaining to " Security Intrest Fraud" I am going to attach word for word what the law states and can be found by Google searching " Georgia Security Interest Fraud "

Security Intrest = A Lien Holder Stated on a title after pawning / borrowing money against the title provided by the state for that particular automobile.

1-22 (b) A person who destroys, removes, conceals, encumbers,

1-23 transfers, or otherwise deals with property subject to a

1-24 security interest exceeding $500.00 with intent to hinder

1-25 enforcement of that security interest and in so doing does

1-26 damage to such property in an amount greater than $500.00

1-27 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated

1-28 nature felony punishable upon conviction by imprisonment

1-29 for not less than one nor more than ten years.

1-30 (c) In a prosecution under this Code section the crime

1-31 shall be considered as having been committed in any county

1-32 where any act in furtherance of the criminal scheme was

1-33 done or caused to be done."

So for all the smart people who think hiding, stripping, or telling the REPO man in georgia or south carolina you aint taking my car, is only asking to take themselves to the local detention center....... think twice before you go hide it b/c it might cost you alot more then some sore spirit / pride
