Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
Credit
I have been out of work for over 6 months. Unfortunately I have not been able to pay on my credit cards. I recieved today a collection letter stating full payment was due immediately. I have no means to pay this right now. Is my car safe from these creditors? I am not a home owner.
Thanks

Re: Credit
If you are sued, a lender could seize your car and apply it to your debts, or place a lien on it.
You may need to consider bankruptcy. (Get a worksheey at www.glenashman.com and call us).

You do not say how much the debt is, so it is hard to guess whether they may file suit. Bankruptcy is a last resort, and is usually not going to be a great option for one bad credit card debt.
