Q: I was put up for repo. It went past that and was sued for the balance of the vehicle. I was issued a judgement.
Because I was issued a judgement for the cash value, does that mean I can request the title of my car and it's now my property, but am legally obliged to repay that amount ?
The way I see it is a court of law agreed that I owe the money and ordered me to pay, but does that then also eliminate their position or lien on my title?
