Re: Collections on Auto title loan
If you fail to repay the loan according to the original terms, then you are in default. As such, they can sue you regardless of what you send (if it is not what is required per the terms of the original agreement). There is no protection from being sued if you send them less-than what they are demanding. As a practical matter, they may delay further collection activity if you send them what you can, but its entirely up to them - they are not bound by anything but the terms of the original agreement.
