cpl720 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 My girlfriend had a car repo''d in Nov 2003 in NY. She never received notice of resale. She never received ANYTHING. She recently financed another vehicle and an attorney comes out of the woodwork with a garnishment at her job for the old repo? This is the first she has heard about this since the repo. Can they do this? We now live in AZ. Is there any recourse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle1979 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you gf did not keep her address updated with the OC, and she moved, they might have served her at her former address and got a judgement against her. The only way a CA can garnish wages is by having a judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlgirl Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Have your GF pull her free credit report to check for a judgment. Then contact the courthouse to get a copy of the courtfile. It will have all of the details including how she was served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Nashville/Savannah Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 To answer your basic question, can they do that"...yes.If the creditor/their attorney followed the law in handling the repo and in obtaining the judgment then yes, they can do that - the fact that your GF didn't konw it was happening does not, by itself, have any bearing on the matter.As was advised, a trip through her credit reort and/or to the courthouse will give you some facts that may help you although it's a bit late in the game to show up and play now.
