Your employer cannot legally demand payment without evidence to support the accusation of theft. If there is no proof, such as surveillance footage or clear documentation, the claim of theft is essentially unsubstantiated. Since you haven’t been formally charged or involved with the police, the... View More

Don't rely on your credit report, but apparently your lender either obtained a judgment against you and then sold the account to Consumer Portfolio; or sold the account to Consumer and it obtained a judgment; but either way it appears Consumer has sold it to Jefferson Capital.

Contact an attorney to help you with this. Tow companies very rarely 'unlawfully' impound a vehicle, and therefore you will have to first prove that as the first step. Then after you prove that, then your next course of action will then develop. All these steps are beyond this forum.
