Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan
Snap on corporation
Can they make threats to pick up the tools in payment is made to them by certain day? Don't they have to take us to court to get it. also can they legal talk to anyone example a place that i hang out at they think i work there and i don't they discussed my whole history with them including the amount owed and they keep calling them when they have told them that i do not work there and to stop calling and tying up their business lines with my personal business isn't this a breach of my privacy and confidentilaly expcesilly since i have expressed the only person beside my self is my significant other. this has been discussed with them that i don't want my business discussed and i know of at least 5 people that they have discussed my account with and none are proffessional people. i have gave them a contact number so they cant say i havent and a mailing address. can they make threats

The Federal and Michigan Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts prevent creditors from doing certain acts. It sounds like your creditors have violated the Acts. Furthermore, it would take a court order to pick up tools if you dispute their right to pick them up.
