Q: I have been paying payments on a shed for 4 years now.
I have one year left but got behind 3 months Everytime I pay a payment the next week or so new payment due. I lost my job and was in hospital for almost a month. The company is out of KY and I live in Oklahoma , can they really do much as in file on me or repo my shed it's a tiny home, me and my husband did all the work to it to make it a very comfortable home. I need some help, can I just keep paying when I can or what.
A: An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what they would do. Don't take it upon yourself to pay what you feel you can. That could lead to a default or other complications. Instead, consider one of these options. You could contact them and explain your job loss and hospitalization and see if it is possible to negotiate a payment schedule based on your hardship. Another option is to reach out to attorneys to do this for you. Because of your situation, look into whether low-cost or free legal assistance might be available through legal aid societies - contact your local or state bar association if they could help you look into this. I hope things take a turn for the better. Good luck
