I repossed the car now the first lady is suing me for $1,000 the amount she put down on the car so what do i do??
A: We do not have enough information to answer your question. An attorney would have to know much more about the details of the first sale and the repossession. There are really five things going on: the sale of a car; the financing of the sale; the buyer's sale to another purchaser; the seller's retention of a security interest in the vehicle until it was paid off; and the repossession. You should consult with an attorney.
