I'm being Sued by a Car dealership What can i do.?

Question

Okay first i never heard of this and too, it's my Mom's friend who is being sued. See She bought a car at a dealership in Sacramento California, She over paid for the car , really she did over pay, well she didn't want the car no more, so she stopped paying for it. Now the car has been repoed . They have sold the car they took back and now they are suing her, to pay the car off, saying 50% of her check will be deducted, and her stuff will be repoed. Till the car is fully paid, yet they took the car back. what can she do?????

Answer 1

Even with the repo, the car was sold under value and she is responsible to pay that back to the dealership.

Answer 2

It's called a defiency balance; whatever is left owed after the car is sold is her problem. She needs to talk to a good lawyer; but she'll probably still owe. She may have a paycheck garnished; odds are it won't be 50% and they probably won't repo anything else.

Answer 3

she can talk to a lawyer but she already signed her name on a contract saying that these things would happen if she didnt pay...

people really need to pay attention to what they agree to.

I would recommend shopping around, and never, ever buy a car in your first visit to a dealership. And never pay what they have on the window of the car either. You can regularly save 1,500 just by paying cash and actually living within your means ;)

Answer 4

She made a bad deal and she has to live up to it.  Tell her to live up to her responsibilities.  If I buy a stock for 20 bucks a share and it goes to 10 do I get my money back?

Answer 5

They just want the money that they "lost" on the car.  They had to sell it for less than what she bought it for so they are trying to have her pay the difference.  Her wages aren't going to get garnished.  Believe me it's just a scare tactic.   LMAO I've had car repo's before and they do try to scare you "oh you are going to get your wages garnished and everything"  Ummm no they have no authority to do that. Only thing they can do is destroy your credit
