Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia
Car Service (Repairs)
I was in a car accident and I only had liability insurance. My car is in the shop and I have been making payments towards the repairs. Now the company wants the full amount or they are saying they will sell my car. Can they do that?

Yes, but they should give you a reasonable period of time to pay the balance(30 days at least). Furthermore, selling your vehicle to pay the debt could prove more problematical than they may realize.

Yes, but I agree that its easier said than done under Virginia law, whether the fair value/price exceeds the repair and sale costs or not. You should consult an attorney about this matter. Good luck.
