Ok, a few days ago I got behind on two payments and my car was repossessed. I know it’s my responsibility to pay and I take that responsibility. I am a single mom and bought the car from so old "mom and pop" place while I was pregnant because the guy said that he "would work with me" while I was on UNPAID maternity leave for six weeks. He actually did not and got an attitude when I got one payment behind. When I bought the car it started overheating and found out that the radiator was bad and I needed a new water pump. He then came up to my job and took the air out of my tires to take the car. Two hours later the repo man arrives and tows the car away. My dad gave me the money to get the car back but when I drove it home yesterday I noticed that the steering wheel feels like it is out of control and is going to fall off at any minute. I have to drive my two month old daughter in this car and feel very unsafe driving it right now. Is there anything I can do? Is the repo man responsible for any damages. I am not trying to get over at all and if there is nothing I can do then I understand that. Thanks!

If anyone knows laws in Puerto Rico(US Commonwealth), in early 2007 our car was repossessed. My husband was the primary signer who had his aunt cosign for a car in 2004. A brand new Susuki Aereo. He was in the Marine Corps Active Duty but was soon thereafter transferred into the Reserves. Meaning that his paycheck went from almost 00 a month to only 0 a month. Began studying to become a Paramedic. Needless to say it was impossible to keep up with the almost 0 a month car payment. We tried hard and kept paying it for 2 years until we couldn’t any longer. It was either food or car payment. In 2007 we left the Island. Currently we are in California and are planning on moving back. My husband is pensioned by the Department of VA affairs due to injuries suffered during his service to this Country. A while back we tried paying the Financing Co. and paid 0 a month until they stopped withdrawing from our bank account. Don’t know what happened but they disappeared. His aunt(the cosigner) just found out we are going back and wants to sue him for damages. Please help!!!
We have definitely tried making mends with her although she refuses anything. But keeps threatening my Husband’s Mother and 80 year old Grandfather. That they should repay her for damages. Although yes, her credit was affected and so was my Husbands. As far as actual money, she only paid 0 when the Financing Co. first reached out to her. After that my Husband took over the month payment arrangement.

I had a recent problem with my car and I left my car in pep boys. When pep boys gave me a very big bill, I decided to sell my car to somebody. So I called this auction company, and I enquired them for a quote to take my car. This guy from IAAI who spoke with me took all the info like name, where the car is and told me I should hand over the car keys and title to his driver and they will mail in the cheque after 10 days. Not liking this plan I said,I want to get paid right when somebody comes to pick it up and I’m comfortable with getting paid 10 days after.So he said somebody from Fremont office will call me and I can talk about it to them. Nobody called me and without my knowledge and my authorization they towed my car to their office. Then Pep Boys called, they say that my car was towed, but they don’t know who did it or where they have taken my car. Finally I had to file a police compliant to locate the car, after which I asked the IAAI representative, tow back the car to my home, since I was not even aware of it and I din’t even authorize them to tow my car. The Manager there, spoke very rude and she said that if I want it, I have to tow at my expense and they are not going to do that for me. I had to tow the car back at my expense. And car when they took was in running condition, but currently wouldn’t start also.So I would like to know, if there is any way I can sue those people for the damages they caused me?. I only expect them to pay the towing expense and repair expense for making it back to running condition.

Any help would greatly appreciated.
