First, start with your agreement. What does it say about rights of repossession, collection, fees, and costs? You are now a creditor with all the rights of a creditor. You can sue her for the balance, can repo the vehicle possibly and still go after the remainder of the debt if the car sold at auction, etc. Small claims court is up to $5K, county court up to $15K, and circuit court $15K and over.
