I have elderly parents with serious health issues that tried to help my brother by signing on a loan for a horse tailor that he could not purchase due to his poor credit rating. The company selling the tailor was aware of this. My brother was making the payments until his oilfield job went under. He still made pmts for awhile but eventually had to default on the loan. My parents didn't understand that it was their responsibility to continue making pmts. The trailor was repossessed and the loan was sent to Collection. My father has received a notice to appear in court. He is very stressed because he lives about 200 miles away and has no way to get there. He's going blind and has congenital heart failure. He is going to write the judge to let him know. If they are unable to make payments, can their retirement (railroad/SS) be garnished?
