A:
Get a lawyer as soon as possible regarding the house auction. There should be a court file number, and documents may indicate a lawyer who represents the bondsman, whom you should contact regarding payment.
As to the car, it's likely as part of the bond contract, you signed over title to them.
All this is, of course, premised on the fact that you contracted with the bonds company to pay them $2,000 - I assume you are aware of that by now, but the following is more so for others' knowledge. When you use a bonds company, you are agreeing to pay for a service, regardless of what happens with your charges.
