Re: Car Reposession in New Jersey

If they get a judgment, yes, they can garnish you. Depending on the language of the agreement, and on NJ law, however, you may have defenses to the collection action, including consumer fraud. You need to speak to an attorney. If you do not have money to hire an attorney, call Legal Aid of Eastern Missouri in St. Louis and speak to them. You can also call the legal clinics at either St. Louis University or Washington University to see if they can assist you.

Good luck.
