A: Unfortunately, the answer to your question will depend on the terms of the contract you signed with that company. Each contract contains different language in it and a lawyer would have to guess what your contract said, which would not help you at all. Once a lawyer has read the contract and learned what both sides agreed to do, a lawyer can properly advise you. If the company agreed to give you a certain amount of time to pay your monthly fee and the company took your property BEFORE that time, you likely have a good case. On the other hand, if you were late on your payments and violated the terms of your contract, then it's possible the company had the right to do what it did. But, again, everything will depend on the terms of the contract you signed. Best wishes.
