Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Several months ago Wells Fargo reposessed my 2006 Mercedes. I owed $15K and was behind a few paymets. When they picked up my car the advised me I would receive a letter within 10 telling me how I could get my car back and the amount I would need to pay. The driver advised me where my car was being taken so I phoned them in a couple of days and they said my car had already been sent for cleaning and the auction block. I phoned Wells Fargo and they advised me that I would be receiving the letter. She verified the fact that they had picked up my car. To this day, several months I have heard nothing from them, not a word. The car was an absolute cherry owned by mea 76 yr old woman who only puts around 6000 miles each year on the car. I'm sure they sold it for more than was owed on that car. I paid nearly 45000 with a down payment of $20,000 down and paid on the car for nearly 2 years. Do I have some recourse here????

There are laws that govern repossession. Violation of those laws means that you can possibly wipe out any debt owned and have your lawyer collect attorneys' fees and costs. You need to consult an attorney who handles these matters, simce it is very specialized. I do handle these matters. Want to know the law?
