Can creditors take my car for past debt owed?

Dear Ms. Smith: A creditor cannot take your car for past due debt. If the creditor filed a lawsuit and has obtained a judgment against you for the debt owed, then the creditor can seek a writ from the court to have the sheriff locate assets. However, you would know if that happens and have the opportunity to list property to exclude. In some cases, vehicles can be levied by the sheriff to pay for a judgment. This response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor should it replace a full consultation with an attorney.
