“Dear Steve,
My car was repossed. I fell behind on the payments, the transmission went out, and I didn’t have a place to live for a short period of time. I had to choose and having a place to live won out. I’m employed and have just received the deficiency notice. I owe $11,000 which of course I don’t have.
What are my options and what do you recommend? I’m sure I’ll be receiving a notice before long advising me that they are suing for the 11 grand.
Don”
