Car went into repossession in 2016. I got the car back, and then fell into late payments again. So they sent for a final repossession. But they never "found" me or my location because I was hopping from house to house. The original creditor (USAA) eventually sold my loan to a collection agency, and listed the loan as a repossession on my credit, even though I still have my car and it was never taken up.
I just got an apartment and got my first letter from this said collection agency 3/4 years later after putting an address change request through USPS, and I have full intent on paying the money, settling the debt would be ideal, but given the current circumstances, I cant afford to drop that much right now.
My question is, do collection agencies have a right to repossess my car, now that they now my address? Or do I have a cushion of time to save up some money for this settlement?
