I am from Massachusetts. I am on Social Security Disability. I am worried about a debt collector and if they can take my car. My state law says if it's worth more than $700 they can. What do I do? Is there a Federal Law that would state a higher amount that I can use? I used my Social Security money to buy the car and it's worth about $2,000. I didn't register it yet and the title is not in my name right now. They already have the judgment against me and I go to the payment hearing next month, which I already told them I am on disability but they didn't care. I can't pay them right now.

What should I do?


It's a long story on the judgment but I was in the hospital and have lots of medical problems right now. The attorney for LVNV Funding said I never responded and got a default. I appealed and tried to show the judge the post office cards that I sent it but he called me a liar and denied it. So now I have to go back again for the payment hearing.

I plan on filing chapter 7 before the end of the year anyway so I don't know what they think they can get out of me. I am not going to pay these crooked lawyers almost $4,000 on a debt that was originally $1,800. They tacked on legal and court fees too. I asked if it was legal and the judge said it didn't matter. I asked for proof they own the debt and I never got it even though the stupid lawyer said he would be more than happy to show me proof which was all bs.

They don;t seem to care if you are on SS. My motherinlaw was sued twice, and they got a judgement on one and dismissed without prejudice on the other. As far as I know they have not requested a payment hearing. I would bring all the info to the hearing, and hopefully you don't have the same judge. He had noright calling you a liar. That is unprofessional. Appeal to the judge with the info - they cannot garnish your social security, but I am sure they will try to guilt you into payment arrangements. Could your bankruptcy atty advice you on this?

Yeah I know they have no remorse for people, it is really sad. They will not get me into paying anything and I will not sign anything. As for the bankruptcy attorney I haven't talked to him in a while, I was waiting till I had money to file which will be in November.

I have other debt collectors after me too but right now I just send a DV letter the second I get anything from them and so far none have bothered to reply.
