Q: How do I know if I'm getting sued by a creditor?
I had a loan set up on auto payments and they stopped processing them due to lack of funds. They never tried to contact me again. That was almost a year ago and now a sheriff shows up and says I'm not getting sued. I call the office that represents them with no response. The number directs me to a website to set up a payment plan but the terms and conditions all talk about them using me. Please help
A: What did the Sheriff want if he did not serve you or levy on your property? I recommend calling General Sessions Court for the County that either you borrowed the money in or where you live. Check to see if you are a Defendant on a recent or current case. If you borrowed on a car, is there a lien on your title? If so, repossession of the collateral could occur without suit.
