My friend was stupid. She needed to borrow $1000 and she voluntarily gave her green card, SS card, and bank card to the person she borrowed the money from to hold as collateral to ensure she would pay back the money. She should not have done this. She could not repay the money and now this person is telling her that he will not give her things back until she pays him as promised. Can she get her sheriff to force him to give her these things back? He claims he has misplaced them and will not bother searching for them unless she pays him as agreed. He also had her sign a promissory note. Does she have any recourse? He did loan her the money but she is in debt up to her eyeballs and she was desperate I think. He is threatening to take her to small claims court. Any advice would be appreciated.
