I recently hired a nanny and she is having financial trouble. She purchased a car in February '19, made her first payment and missed the second. The car was repossessed last week. She was originally told that it would be $1400 to get the car back, which, I was willing to help her with now that we have her finances lined out. She was told that she would have 10 days to pay. When we called today (day 5) they said that she couldn't get her car back and that they were selling it at auction. She paid $13k for the car 3 months ago and they are auctioning it off for a 7k value. She was clearly taken advantage of because she knew nothing about cars or getting a loan. Is this predatory lending? Is there anything I can do to help her?
